Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Ripley Jones's Missing Clarissa is a gripping novel about two friends who start a true crime podcastâ??with dangerous consequences.

In August of 1999, dazzlingly popular cheerleader Clarissa Campbell disappears from a party in the woods outside the rural town of Oreville, Washington and is never seen again. The police question her friends, teachers, and the adults who knew herâ??who all have something to hide. And thanks to Clarissa's beauty, the mystery captures the attention of the nation. But with no leads and no body, the case soon grows cold. Despite the efforts of internet sleuths and true-crime aficionados, Clarissa is never foundâ??dead or alive.
Over twenty years later, Oreville high-school juniors and best friends Blair and Cameron start a true crime podcast, determined to unravel the story of whatâ??or whoâ??happened to this rural urban legend. In the process they uncover a nest of dirty small-town secrets, the sordid truth of Clarissa's relationship with her charismatic boyfriend, and a high school art teacher turned small-town figurehead who had a very good reason for wanting Clarissa dead. Such a good reason, in fact, that they might have to make him the highlight of their next episode...
But does an ugly history with a missing girl make him guilty of murder? Or are two teenage girls about to destroy the life of an innocent manâ??and help the true killer walk free?

In August of 1999, popular high school student, Clarissa Campbell goes missing in Oreville, WA. The response to find her turned up nothing but more questions about the people who may have seen her last. Even with national attention her disappearance becomes a cold case.

Twenty years later, two high school junior students create a podcast for their journalism class about the disappearance of Clarissa Campbell. The two friends, Blair and Cameron, set out to impress their teacher but find themselves too invested in trying to uncover the truth to stop. They proceed with reinvestigating old suspects and witnesses who were around the night that Clarissa was overheard arguing with her football player boyfriend, Brad Bennett. It seems that the two girls are starting to stir up memories about the past which could likely be putting themselves in danger. Their quest for justice not only puts themselves in danger but inadvertently cast suspicion in the wrong direction.

Thank you to St Martin’s Press and NetGalley for providing a complimentary review copy. My voluntary review is my honest and unbiased opinion. ( )

A solid young adult thriller. Perfect for those true crime podcast loving fans. What I enjoyed most about the book is the characterization. Best friends Cam and Blair join together for a school project, in an attempt to break a cold case of the disappearance of Clarissa Campbell. Ripley Jones does a great job at bringing to life the two main characters. Cam is such a spicy character, she is awkward and sassy if not a bit impulsive, which drove me nuts if I am honest. But she made her way into my heart, and I am endeared to her. While there wasn't much uniqueness to the plot, a missing girl, handful of suspects, two amateur detectives uncovering the clues to solve the mystery. Jones did piece together a compelling story and was able to intertwine a perspective of race, privilege and the me too movement.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read and honestly review an advanced digital copy. ( )

Missing Clarissa by Ripley Jones

True crime is a disturbing genre, and with each day more books, films, tv specials, and podcasts exploring these twisted transgressions deliver a shocking window into the darkest parts of humanity. Missing Clarissa is a fictional novel intended for young adults, but the plot centers on a crime drawn straight from the headlines: on a dark night deep in the woods, a beautiful blond cheerleader goes missing, never to be seen alive again. After two decades of searching, the case has grown cold. When best friends Blair and Cam are assigned a high school journalism project, they decide to make a podcast about the disappearance that made their town famous.

Despite initial high hopes for the novel, I struggled to connect with the material. The narration felt too conveniently omniscient, and the main characters were difficult to like. There were some positive steps toward inclusive representation in the novel, but I wish that the characters had been more fully developed. From a content standpoint, the author seemed to have an agenda, and it promoted several controversial opinions within the characters’ dialogue. The resolution to the mystery seemed rushed, the culprit was rather obvious, and the love stories wrapped up with the same speed and lack of subtlety. I had expected more from this novel, and sadly, cannot recommend it. ( )
