Still Missing: A Novel

"This debut novel has the power to shock and awe with its explosively frightening premise about a woman who is kidnapped by a stranger and held against her will for more than year. Chevy Stevens is sure to rock lovers of the thriller genre." --USA Today

On the day she was abducted, Annie O'Sullivan, a thirty-two-year-old realtor, had three goals--sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.

Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive in a remote mountain cabin--which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist--is the second narrative recounting the nightmare that follows her escape: her struggle to piece her shattered life back together, the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor, and the disturbing sense that things are far from over.

Chevy Stevens's Still Missing is a shocking, visceral, brutal, and beautifully crafted novel about surviving the unsurvivable--and living to bear witness.

Had a hard time deciding how to rate this one. There’s a lot of… tough… content to read through and outside of that, the first half drug along. The second half was fun and suspenseful; I enjoyed that. I understand the importance of the tough content to the story to make you *feel* for what Annie went through, but not going to lie, reading it felt really wrong. I think, in that way, the story was well written.
