Summary: A Mystery You Don't Want to Miss
Review: The Missing Person by Sally Pfoutz is a great mystery about a girl named Carrie Hightower. Carrie has a pretty normal life, but her mother was never the best influence on her, and when Carrie was younger, her mother had been a horrible alcoholic. One day Martha, Carries mom, leaves a note saying that she had gone to the movies, but she never returned. At first, everyone seems to care about Martha's disappearance, but as more and more time goes by Carrie's friends and family start to accept that Martha just decided to up and leave her family. It seems like only Carrie thinks that something bad has happened to her mom. Carrie devotes herself to finding out what happened to Martha with the assistance of her neighbor Allen who obviously knows something about the whereabouts of Martha but is to scared to tell anyone.

This book was overall pretty good, but the beginning was a little slow and boring. Towards the end of the book, the plot thinkens and becomes very exciting. I would suggest this book to you if you liked other missing person books like the Face on the Milk Carton.
