Review of Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.

Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman Daan and vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.

Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time—far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward, others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be.

How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be.

My Review:

5 Stars

This was a really great story and idea. I was honestly in the dark for a good portion of the book. Only late in the game did I start putting together the obvious clues and little nuggets of information the author leaves for you. These are the types of stories that I greatly enjoy. Something that keeps your mind engaged and not just reading to see what you know is going to happen play out. 

Two woman that both lead completely different lives go missing. Two woman that never would have crossed paths with each other, let alone be considered the same "type" to an obvious string of abductions. Yet something isn't sitting right with the two detectives assigned to the case. 

A book that will have you guessing until the end. I can't recommend this enough. A definite must read.
