The Missing File
The Missing File: A Novel | D. A. Mishani
4 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
In The Missing File, Israeli detective Avraham Avraham must find a teenage boy gone missing from the suburbs of Tel Aviv in this first volume in a fresh new literary crime series by D. A. Mishani. Crimes in Avrahams quiet suburb are generally not all that complex. But when a sixteen-year-old boy goes missing and a schoolteacher offers up a baffling complication, Avraham finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about his life. Told through alternating points of view, The Missing File is an emotionally wrought, character-driven page-turner with plenty of twists and turns. Its a mystery that will leave readers questioning the notions of innocence and guilt, and the nebulous nature of truth.

In the first case of the Avraham Avraham Series, a teenage boy,Ofer, disappears without a trace.Told alternating from Ze‘ev,the boy‘s creepy& strange neighbor, &Avraham‘s perspective,Ofer always remains a mystery as neither the parents nor the few people who knew him have much to say about Ofer-except Ze‘ev.But is he a reliable witness?The story with its focus on complex characters rather than filled with action&red herrings is very Israeli.

Remember what I read to you in the first class, that excerpt from Kafka's letter?" Michael closed his eyes and quoted from memory: " "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If he book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading it for? "

humouress @charl08 🫨Oops, I wondered where that comment went. I thought I added it to my book and then it didn‘t show up. Must be a glitch. I‘ll delete it now 8mo
