Three Days Missing by Kimberly Belle
4.0
Belle does it again!
Back with another amazing thriller about a mother whose eight year old son goes missing on a camping trip. The search begins.
It’s just so great that a simple story such as a missing child can pack so much inside it. It felt like opening a present, then finding multiple other ones inside it. It never stopped delivering. Belle is such a talented writer and she taps into the mind of a mother who will not stop searching until her son is find. You can really feel for Kat in the book when her son disappears and it almost felt like I was with her searching for eight year old Ethan.
This is not just a thriller but it’s also a novel about parenthood and what happens when a child goes missing. The blame goes straight to the parents instantly, even though they don’t even know if the child is kidnapped or just lost. It really displays how your life falls apart in just an instant. In the novel we also got to see inside two women’s heads who are complete opposites but both sons go to the same school. A mayor’s wife and a regular mother. I guess you can say rich and poor? We got to see inside Stef’s head and how she judges how Kat’s son dresses. I hope some mothers aren’t like that!
The ending I did figure out before, but the story behind was very thought out. But as always, Belle has to put another shocking discovery on her last page or it wouldn’t a Kimberly Belle novel, would it? That last page really shocked me. I’m ending with that because I don’t want to spoil anything but this is a great thriller for sure!
