The Disappearing
The Disappearing: A Novel | Lori Roy
7 posts | 10 read | 16 to read
Two time Edgar Award winning-author Lori Roy returns with her latest suspense, a dark tale about a small present-day Southern town where girls disappear and boys run away. When Lane Fielding fled north Florida after high school for the anonymity of New York City, she never thought she'd return. But twenty years later, this time leaving behind her cheating husband, that's exactly what she and her two daughters have done. Now Lane is tending bar, living under her parents' roof on the historic Fielding Plantation, and planning how to escape the crimes of her father--crimes that date back to his role as the director of a local boys' reform school. A role that some claim turned sinister. Things take a turn when just six months after moving back to Florida, Lane's older daughter disappears. Lane initially fears a serial killer--like the one who traumatized north Florida in the 1970s--has again set his sights on her small town. Ten days earlier, a Florida State student disappeared, and ever since, everyone has been keeping a close eye on the town's girls. But when Lane's younger daughter admits to having made an odd new friend, Lane must consider that her older daughter's disappearance is payback for her father's crimes. Or perhaps for her own. With reporters descending on the town, chaos reaching a fever pitch, and events taking increasingly surreal and sinister turns, Lane is faced with too many enemies and too little time to bring her daughter safely home.

An interesting mystery based in Florida. Lane returns home with her two daughters after her marriage breaks up, but finds not much has changed. People still hold onto assumptions made decades ago but the disappearance of a young girl brings things to a head and the truth can't be hidden forever.

Wasn‘t terrible, but I can‘t recommend it. The narrative switches POV and makes it disjointed. The end was not particularly satisfying, either. #netgalley

This was an edge of your seat chiller. I've not read a novel that has kept me so off balance in a while. Lane, mother returns to her parent‘s home to lick her wounds after her 20 yr. marriage dissolves. She brought her two daughters one is about 10 and the other one is around 18. There is a lot of controversy surrounding her family from the past and present. Lane has made some colossal mistakes on her own that has brought more trouble her way.

ARC from First To Read, Penguin. The ending of this book had me on the edge of my seat, but the last line of the book was truly chilling. I loved the shifting, multiple perspectives. They kept the differing aspects of the story alive. There are so many flawed characters, but some are truly endearing because of their flaws. This is an excellent, suspenseful thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #8INTWO #25INFIVE
