Missing, Presumed

By Susie Steiner
Published by Random House

Sunday Times bestseller

“Missing, Presumed is the best [crime novel] I’ve read in a very long time. It has everything one could ask, and more: it’s stylish, witty and compelling; has an infuriating yet likable lead detective; and is also terribly good at skewering contemporary class anxieties and manners” – The Guardian

“Where Steiner excels is in the depth and clarity with which she depicts her characters. Manon is ...something of a misanthrope. But she’s also funny and clever, and interesting. I defy you not to fall for her” - Thriller of the Month, The Observer

“[Steiner] gets inside the minds and lives of her book’s socially disparate personalities with the grace of a novelist of manners, even as she pulls tight the strands of one of the most ambitious police procedurals of the year” - Wall Street Journal
