I really enjoy how Coble crafts a book with flawed characters, suspense, movement, and history. You want to know the characters because they've lived these full other lives, you invest in them because they're all too human, struggling in their relationships, faith, and careers. You may even stay up way too late into the early morning hours because you're so engrossed in what happens next. Three Missing Days did not disappoint as the finale of the Pelican Harbour series. I felt things a little more in this one, but perhaps it triggered my mama instincts as I have two younger teenage boys at home and could not imagine Jane's situation in having to support her son during a murder investigation and having to step back so justice prevails. Nope.
I did feel a little disconnected - like something was missing since the last title I read - but I just realised this evening that I never actually read the second book. Technically, this could be read as a standalone but I feel it works best with the foundation of the other two books to clear up a few points of reference. Overall, another gripping read that answered all the lurking questions.
My thanks to the publisher, Thomas Nelson, for the complimentary copy via NetGalley. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This was a great conclusion to the series. I have to admit I hated the quasi-cliffhangers the first two books were so I was extra anxious to get to the end of this book but the ending was perfect.
This book was quite suspenseful. Some things came up that I never expected and Coble kept me guessing for the most part. I did figure out who one bad guy was - but there was so much more to it that I was still holding my breath.
I really did love the second chances this book series provided for Jane and Reid but I'm terrible at cliffhangers so it is no surprise that I struggled a little. But I know some people enjoy that suspense and tension.
I will admit that the cult background was a little different and even difficult for me, but overall this was a good series. I really did love Reid's strong faith.
I received an advanced copy of this book through the publisher. This is my honest review.
