Book Review:The Missing Activist by Louise Burfitt-Dons

The Missing Activist
Title: The Missing Activist 

Author: Louise Burfitt-Dons 

Stars: 3 stars

Review:
The main plot for the story was excellent and fit well into today's age. However, the lack of in depth background for main characters left me confused at times. The story is told by different characters as their part in the tale takes place. I enjoyed the overall story but felt there was an overload, of some viewpoints, at different times which did not contribute to the overall storyline. I was satisfied with the ending but felt the justice system part of the story was greatly dismissed by the author.

I have rated this book 3 stars. Enjoyable but not unforgettable.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.
Thank you Frank for your review!

Synopsis:
Post-Referendum Britain and a country on high alert for terrorist attacks.

When a young political activist goes missing in London, an off the wall Private Investigator Karen Andersen is called to investigate.
