I read Still Missing years ago, but really enjoyed it (which is always weird to say for such a f'd up book), but I did! Total page turner. I have one or two of her other's on my shelf that I haven't read it, but need to. And The Sisters Brothers - totally agree! So good, but I can't put into words why.
