The Missing is a captivating thriller that has you hooked from the start. The chapters flip between two women who are unexpectedly connected by a missing girl. Samantha is the mother of the missing girl, and you can emphasize with her as she experiences ongoing grief for years. Frances is a married women who is interested in what happened to the missing girl, Edie.
I really enjoyed this book and was curious about what truly happened to Edie and I wanted to know why. I liked that this story was told in first person because it was easy to understand what the characters were experiencing throughout the book. The ending of this book was not as predictable as some thrillers tend to be in my opinion, which really sets it apart from other stories. Another thing I really enjoyed about this book was the true aspect of how missing people can be overlooked depending on their backgrounds. Edie wasn't a "good girl" and her disappearance didn't get attention by the media the way that "good-girls" do.
This book was captivating, touching, and thrilling. I'm looking forward to reading more titles by this author.
