What I Did Like:
+The story makes good use of sentence structure to give the prose a rhythm and cadence that’s pleasing.
+The mystery is intriguing. As is the goal, you immediately wonder what happened to the missing woman. When you drop into Stacie’s story, you immediately start to wonder about her background as well. It’s definitely one that keeps you turning pages on the hunt for answers.
+This one stands alone. Evidently it is the second book to use these characters but by itself it amps up the mystery instead of focusing on the contemporary drama of the characters.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of contemporary family drama type stories who want a little darker and more mysterious will like this one (alone or with its predecessor)
My Rating: 3 Stars

I really enjoyed this one as I have with every other one of Adele Parks’ books I’ve read. I absolutely love her writing style. It was a fast and perfectly paced mystery/thriller that will grab your attention right from the start. I was so invested in the story from the beginning and found it so hard to put down. There were jaw dropping secrets and twists from early on in the book and all throughout that will keep you engaged and wanting to keep reading. I also loved the characters and their development throughout the book. I didn’t realize it was a sequel to Woman Last Seen and will be going back and reading that one ASAP (however it did work to read as a standalone)! Also worth noting is that this book does take place throughout the Covid pandemic which may be a trigger warning for some; however I don’t mind reading books about it.
Thank you so much to NetGalley, HTP and MIRA books for my early digital copy for my honest thoughts and review! Definitely would recommend picking up a copy of this one when it releases on 12/26!
