THE MISSING WOMAN  by  GEORGINA CROSS





My Rating: ★★★★★


It’s the fourth of July and the whole town is gathered at the local pool. Through the sweltering afternoon, the group of single mothers don’t mix with the other women—the ones with the perfect lives and happy marriages. Women like Sabine Miller.

But then, Sabine shoots Erica a desperate look across the water and suddenly disappears. As Erica reaches to the back gate, all she finds is a silver charm bracelet that Sabine dropped on her way out.

When Sabine’s husband Mark arrives and realizes she’s missing, he phones the cops straight away. “Someone has been threatening Sabine,” he says. “Now they’ve kidnapped her.”

Hours later the whole town is searching the streets, calling Sabine’s name over and over. On the TV, Mark is begging for someone to bring his wife home.

The truth is, Erica was the last person to see Sabine alive—and it’s killing her inside. When the cops arrive at her house asking questions, she’s terrified they’ll find out what happened years ago between her and Sabine. Something which she has never told anyone

I was so eager to read this book especially since I loved Georgina Cross’s debut book. I just couldn’t wait to get started! And I wasn’t disappointed at all. This was such an exciting read that I actually managed to finish it in just a few hours. I didn’t want to stop till I reached the end.

The plot is well written and the pace is maintained throughout the book. Both the main and supporting characters were good and added some element to the plot.

As you begin reading you wonder if Sabine was kidnapped because it’s difficult to find a reason why would she leave on her own and give up her comfortable life. But as the hidden secrets of each of the characters come tumbling out, you realize that this is something more than just a missing persons case.

There were definitely some amazing twists throughout the book but my favorite has to be the ending. It was simply perfect!

Thank You NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!
