Genre: Thriller
Pages: 369
My Rating: ★★★★☆
Chloe moves in next door to Alana, her old high school friend. Ray, Chloe’s husband, is Alana’s ex and the sexual tension comes flowing back like it never left. Suddenly, people close to Alana start to go missing. Can Alana get to the bottom of this mystery? And does she really know her neighbours as well as she thinks she does?
If I Go Missing is a fast paced psychological thriller full of lies and deceit. I felt like I really got behind Alana and was desperate for her to find out what was going on, especially with Taylor. I enjoyed the twists and turns and the ending with Stella had my heart in my mouth and adrenaline pumping.
“The funny thing about lies… they grow on you like a second skin, each new lie a patch stitched to other lies, while truth withers underneath, suffocated. And so, the truth dies smothered, making room for the new, shiny coat of lies to prevail, to grow stronger. But once someone or something rips off a piece, the entire web unravels, exposing the ugly, contorted nature of who we really are, who we were before we covered ourselves in pretence”
I’ve never read anything by Leslie Wolfe before, but definitely would again. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy.
