Reported Missing
Di Harding’s novel is set in a very contemporary Sydney, taking in multi-layered sights and sounds, from the northern beaches to performances at the Sydney Opera House.
The plot spans the complications of what a woman must consider if she is to save her children from domestic violence. And the main character has good reason to hold fears for her life.
What would you do if your daughter was missing and you thought your son-in-law was somehow involved? Is there someone who could help you, or would you take matters into your own hands?
She does, and so the terror begins – from vile and personal harassment to life threatening acts, until she is ready to commit murder.
Her obsession with killing grows in her mind until she begins to plan and plot. Can she actually do it? Then something shocking happens to make up her mind.
The story ends on an upbeat for a new life ahead for the family.

Reported Missing is a real page turner, the action never stops. What starts as a nagging feeling of unease becomes a spiralling horror as the narrator and her husband try to keep their daughter and grandchildren safe.
The sense of being at a loss for what to do was moving: the protagonists are quiet, respectable people with no experience of domestic violence or dangerous psychopaths.
The Sydney setting is vividly portrayed, and it's refreshing to read a thriller based in a city other than more frequently used UK and US cities.
A highly enjoyable read with an uneasy message.
