First review!! Thank you, Derin Attwood. *****Compassionately told, Misplaced was riveting, and my ‘Read of the Year’. Lee Murray’s subject of a missing woman seen from the perspective of her likeable teen-aged son, Adam, was delightfully compelling. I was fortunate in being given a pre-release copy of Misplaced. Realising the subject, I quailed slightly, fearing the worst – a depressing moray into loss, tragedy and adolescent angst. Misplaced is nothing like that, and the journey of Adam’s loss was very lifelike, portraying the reaction of Adam, his family, the Police, friends, acquaintances and the public. Reactions, positive and negative, were realistic. Adam is very much a boy of his time, and faced with what many people would find impossible, he blunders his way from dread to fear and blame. At that awkward age when life and feelings are a mystery at best, he discovers parts of himself he didnt ever dream were there.
