Summary
From 1950 to the present day, there have been almost 900 long-term missing people in Ireland. The equivalent of a vibrant village, all gone, vanished without a trace.
Where did they go? Are they dead or still alive somewhere? How many have been murdered? How many killers have got away with their crimes?
RTÉ journalist Barry Cummins has reported on the unsolved cases of Ireland’s missing for decades. In this new edition of his best-selling book, he examines the latest leads and developments of Ireland’s most high-profile missing cases, including the women who disappeared under eerily similar circumstances in the 1990s and whose bodies have never been found.
Written with the assistance of the gardaí and the families concerned, Missing is a comprehensive and shocking account of the cases that have in turn fascinated, puzzled and horrified the Irish public. It also examines the possibility that there may be a serial killer out there who has gone to extraordinary lengths to evade justice, leaving open the possibility that they could strike again.

Very informative
Well researched book. Covers 'vanishing triangle' missing persons cases. Other interesting past cases that received prominence at the time. And mentions as many as possible for the sake of those missing and left behind. Well thought out and inclusive book. Moves briskly. Recommend if missing persons cases is your interest.

Great story, terrible narration
The stories of those involved are well told and packed full of details I had not known. I would however buy the paperback over listening to this audio book. The narration is littered with incorrect pronunciations and the attempts at accents such as a Romanian accent make for uneasy listening.

Mispronunciation
The mispronounced place names were the only detractors from this powerful book. The stories of Irelands missing should be compulsory learning for everyone on this small island.

Well researched and interesting
Very well researched and added a lot of new information on an already well covered subject. Unfortunately the butchering of the pronunciations of some of the place names mentioned took from the enjoyment of the book...surely this could have been checked before it was finalised....Athy and Chapelizod were two notable ones. Other than this distraction I would wholeheartedly recommend this book

Narrator 🙄
The narrator's pronunciation of place names was, at times, questionable. Otherwise a well researched book.

Really good
This was a really good culmination of irelands missing but I have recently read/listened to a more in depth one, the vanishing triangle. Great work though.

Good book, poor narrator
This is a thoroughly researched and well written book let down by the narrator who failed to carry out basic research into pronunciation of common Irish place names and words, including the name of one of the missing women. How disrespectful to her.
