The Missing by CL Taylor
Fifteen-year-old Billy Wilkinson has been missing for six
months, disappearing in the middle of one August night. His mother Claire has come apart, blaming
herself, and having dissociative episodes that make her wonder if deep down she
doesn’t know more than her conscience being knows. After another appeal for information about
Billy, Claire tries to return to work and a semblance of normal life, but she
quickly realizes her husband Mark has been keeping secrets, as has her
nineteen-year-old son Jake and his girlfriend Kira, who has been living with
the family recently. But what about Billy?
What secrets did he keep from his family and what, if anything, do those
secrets have to do with his disappearance?
This twisty turny plot is full of unreliable characters, including and
most of all, the one who is missing. As
Billy’s story starts to unfold, it becomes clear that he may hold the key to
his own disappearance.
