Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the perfect life. Until one day there’s a knock on their door from Luca’s first wife, Lydia who has been missing for 10 years and presumed dead. What happened to Lydia and what does this mean for Luca’s new family?
I’ve never been interested in domestic thrillers before, but the synopsis of Unmissing reeled me in and I just had to check it out! This book was enjoyable for me, but it wasn’t particularly extraordinary.
The book got immediately to the point. The story got started in the prologue, as it should’ve. I thought the pacing was nice and I found the writing to flow well. However, it’s basically what I expect of every domestic thriller and that’s why I don’t really read them. It had very predictable twists and unlikable characters repeatedly making stupid decisions. I figured out the twists literally just from reading the synopsis and the prologue. If you go into this book thinking you know what’s going to happen, then you’re probably right. But, if you’re not expecting anything too shocking, this book will be enjoyable for you.
Overall, I did think the book was worth my time, it just wasn’t a standout read for me. If you are a fan of domestic thrillers, I think you’ll enjoy this book!
Thank you Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for this arc! All opinions are my own.
