Unmissing

A return from the past knocks a family dangerously off-balance in a novel of spiraling suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door.

Weak, broken, and emaciated, it's Luca's first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should've ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they've built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet--it's the least they can do.

But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt's family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that's especially unnerving? Why hasn't she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying.

Because Lydia isn't the only one with secrets.

Buckle up, because Unmissing is a wild ride you won’t want to end. This psychological thriller begins with a haunting question: what happens when someone you thought was gone forever walks back into your life? Minka Kent masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, with twists and turns so dizzying you'll feel like you're on a rollercoaster.

The characters are so vivid and believable that you'll find yourself questioning their every move, yet rooting for them at the same time. The pacing is spot on, keeping you hooked from the very first page to the shocking conclusion. And Kent’s writing? It’s like a puzzle, with every piece snapping perfectly into place.

If you’re looking for a book that keeps you guessing, delivers on every promise, and leaves you thinking about it long after you’ve finished, Unmissing is it. Five stars from me!
