Reservoir 13 by Jonathon McGregor

I read this book in June 2017 for the Lawshall Book Club.
I have previously read 2 of his books and loved both.
This one is very similar in style.  I love his writing, it seems to progress, layer upon layer, introducing more and more chararcters. I liken it to modern dance. repetition of mood and movement.
This one is about a young teeenage girl who goes missing.  She is staying with er parents over the New Year holidays in a holiday lodge.  She goes off walking and doesn't return. 
This is not a murder mystery/thriller.  This is a missing chld and hw the family and the villagers come to terms with it.
The only criticism I have is I felt this one to be overly long. Or maybe (due to a health scare) I just wasn't 'in the right place' to take it in.

I would still recommend it though.
