Description from GoodReads: “When a child goes missing, two
mothers’ lives collide in a shocking way in this suspenseful novel from the
bestselling author of The Marriage Lie.
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: the call that comes in
the middle of the night.
When Kat Jenkins awakens to the police on her doorstep, her
greatest fear is realized. Her nine-year-old son, Ethan, is missing—vanished
from the cabin where he’d been on an overnight field trip with his class.
Shocked and distraught, Kat rushes to the campground where he was last seen.
But she’s too late; the authorities have returned from their search
empty-handed after losing Ethan’s trail in the mountain forest.
Another mother from the school, Stef Huntington, seems like
she has it all: money, prominence in the community, a popular son and a loving
husband. She hardly knows Kat, except for the vicious gossip that swirls around
Kat’s traumatic past. But as the police investigation unfolds, Ethan’s
disappearance will have earth-shattering consequences in Stef’s own life—and
the paths of these two mothers are about to cross in ways no one could have
anticipated.
Racing against the clock, their desperate search for answers
begins—one where the greatest danger could lie behind the everyday smiles of
those they trust the most.”
Kat’s world has already been falling apart lately and now the
unimaginable has happened: her son is missing. She is living in a nightmare. Kat is in the midst of a messy divorce - which has left her
in near-poverty and emotionally drained - when her genius son Ethan goes on an
overnight field trip. She is
worried about him as she sends him off, but not as worried as she is when she
receives the dreaded knock on her front door. Ethan is missing.
Stef Huntington’s life seems charmed in comparison as the
mayor’s wife, but she and her son Sammy are tangled up in this as well…
Three Days Missing is an emotional and
suspenseful page-turner! I really
appreciated the depth of the emotions felt by both of these mothers: Kat and
Stef. Kat when she realized her
son was missing and all of the dread that goes along with that. The feelings of helplessness,
suspicion, and fighting through the hysteria one would want to give in to in
order to help find her son. Stef
as she realizes her family has connections to these tragic circumstances and
her son may also be hiding things from her. The characters were very relatable. This book kept me guessing and kept me
flipping pages. And ended with a
satisfying twist!
You need this book if you like a good
character driven suspense novel.
It was not a dark or graphic book, so I widely recommend it to all
mystery/thriller fans.
