About this listen
A hard-boiled supernatural thriller
Mason Gray, a former cop, has a knack for solving puzzles, but the corpse on his living room floor is a piece that doesn’t fit.
As the number one suspect, Gray races to find the killer before the cops can pin it on him. But the cops aren’t the only ones out to get him. Those responsible for the murder want him dead and will use any means necessary to put him in the ground...including vampire hit-men.
To survive, Gray must choose to go through the looking glass; wrestle with demons, both figurative and literal; and put the bad guys in the ground first. But the price could be higher than he thought...the life of his best friend and mentor.
Fans of the Nightside, Dresden Files, Nate Temple, and Jack Reacher will love this first Mason Gray case!

A very dark world through the looking glass.
A detective noir with an hint of the supernatural.
After being thrown out of the Chicago police for irregularities in his proceedures, Mason Gray was picked up and given a job in his P.I.business by Frank, and became part of his extended family, with wife, Nancy, and their two children. When Gray finds a dead body in his apartment and the computer files on a new missing person case completely disappear from the office computer system, Gray suspects a connection. And had the body in his room been a case of mistaken identity? Was someone really gunning for Gray?
Written mostly in the first person from Gray's perspective, the sentences are snappy, easy to read with some hints of humour. The main characters are mostly well defined, the action, when it happens, well described and visceral and the whole is visual, intense and often colourful. Because Gray has strange dreams, suffused in red and blue, which do affect his waking hours. The storyline is also intriguing - a missing girl, a wisp of politics and a shadowy organization which seems more than human. It all makes for an exciting read.
The narrator, Adam Barr, does an excellent job of further bringing the characters to life. Each has a distinctive voice, accents faithfully realistic, and the whole is delivered at a gentle pace well suited to Gray's personality. Barr's voice is pleasant but slightly gruff, steady, determined but with an underlying sense of guilt, despair almost, to match Gray's mental state and his anger, when performed, is desperate but cold. A good performance.
Not supernatural or paranormal in the sense of having super powers or magic or being able to commune with the dead, there is still the creepy otherworldly feel to the story at times which increases as the book progresses, so still acceptable, even recommended, to purists of the noir genre, as well as those looking for a detective with just a little bit more than basic human. I personally really enjoyed this book and wish to thank the rights holder of Missing, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. The first, I hope, of a long series of Mason Gray cases to come.

Noir & Urban Fantasy combined
A well written noir thriller with an urban fantasy element mixed in. The plot flows well and the story is entertaining. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
The Narrator, Andrew Barr, gave an excellent performance throughout.
I received a free copy of this audiobook either from the author or a promotion or giveaway and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.
