This was good! I feel like if it had been a little longer with more detailed backstory, it would have been great. The end was super rushed and wrapped up a little too quickly for me. But still an enjoyable read!

Ending was resolved a little too quick. Would have liked more from the podcast too.

Downloaded the audio version while sitting on the tarmac during a three hour delay. A bit of fluff that totally hit the spot! There are definitely moments that didn't make sense (you've been running from the murderer for 10 years and suddenly you invite him over for dinner to meet your baby daughter?), but I'm going to blame the editor for that.

This was an entertaining read! The set up has you thinking you know what’s going to happen, until you realize you don’t! Molly has been “hiding” in plain sight, until a new coworker sets events into motion that will expose her to danger. I was continually second guessing myself and the ending surprised me! The Kindle narration is great!

Missing Molly is a psychological thriller with a great premise that will keep you reading into the night.

Rachel Holloway has a secret... and she will do anything to see that it stays that way.

She works for a small newspaper that is producing a podcast on the disappearance of a nine year old girl, Molly Forster. Molly's entire family was murdered, and Molly vanished, never to be seen again. But Rachel knows where Molly is and has every reason to protect that location.

Natalie Barelli's writing is engaging and the story is laid out well, with some unexpected turns. I liked Rachel as a character and rooted for her happy ending. This was my first novel of Ms. Barelli's and I will definitely read her again.

Thank you, NetGalley and Natalie Barelli for the opportunity to review the ARC. My rating and review are honest and non-biased.

I enjoyed the book and the premise. At one point, the author made us doubt what was really going on and I thought it was clever. Well done.

Super quick read. While it is easy to figure out where this story is going, it did keep me on the edge of my seat. In the beginning, I found the narrator a little annoying. I’m the type that thinks telling the truth is always the best…but in this case it totally backfired and then I found everyone but the narrator annoying. A few inconsistencies though and maybe I missed something but how did the prosecutor have all their evidence put together if the suspect killed himself within days of his confession? Maybe UK’s legal system is different…but that seems highly unlikely. And what kind of reporter doesn’t do some digging on some random guy they just met—especially when being bullied and threatened on social media?

Wow!! Such an enjoyable read that was very hard to stop listening to! I definitely recommend the audio book narrated by Lucy Price-Lewis!
