Books with title The Missing Lib/E

The naked body of a young woman was found lying in the river Dart on Dartmoor. Her face had been destroyed; her jewellery had been removed, with the exception of one earring. There was no clue as to her identity. Dci Dexter Smalacombe and his sergeant began their investigations at a nearby pub and picked up on local gossip. They discovered that a couple, both famous actors, had moved into the manor house and held wild parties. This gave the detectives a lead. This was followed by a request for information on a missing woman, which gave them a break through. The young woman's murderer was quickly identified but then there was a second murder. It was clearly connected with the first but it uncovered a host of complex issues. They found disputes between landowners, blackmail, drug habits, prostitution, connections with a London thug and people who were not who they pretended to be. All characters, and the hamlet of Longtor, are fictional.

“Rosen shows children every shade of life – dark and gloomy or bright and dazzling.” GuardianBy turns charming, shocking and heart-breaking, this is the true story of Michael Rosen’s search for his relatives who “went missing” during the Second World War – told through prose and poetry. When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war, his dad would say, and weren’t after. Over many years, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members, scoured the internet, pored over books and travelled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust.“One of our most popular children’s authors … Michael Rosen has a talent for saying much in the simplest way.” The Times
