sundays are for starting new books and favorite snacks 😋🥨
pickWow—for as much as I didn‘t love the first book in the #FrankieElkinSeries, I sure did love this second one! Impulsively, nomadic citizen finder of missing persons, Frankie joins the search for Tim O‘Day who went into the WY Shoshone National Forest with his groomsmen for a bachelor party weekend & was the only one to not make it out, despite being the most experienced outdoorsman. 5 years later, they‘re hoping the SAR dog Daisy can bring closure.
pickI really liked Celine, though not as much as other Heller titles. I enjoyed the relationship between Celine and her husband, Pete 😊
bailedI tried reading this in two different formats, and I think it‘s time to admit it‘s just not for me. This “thriller” has two first person narrators who are not particularly likable and, even worse, not particularly interesting. Any would be thrills get lost in Nina and Christian woodenly delivering unnecessarily drawn out details of a crime that seems to be created by a series of bad decisions made by them and their respective spouses. 🥱 Next!
pickI'm a fan of Mary Kubica's writing style—she dives deep into each character‘s psyche and weaves their stories with precision. Her plots twist unexpectedly, always keeping you on edge. In this one, two close couples quietly envy each other‘s marriages. But when one husband vanishes, secrets begin to unravel, and the illusion of perfection shatters in a chilling game of truth ,deception, and unwanted revelation. 😱😱

so-soSome of the stories peaked my interest more than others, but with as many as there were, it‘s hard to remember them when a short time was spent on many (as opposed to the bulk of the book on Jacob‘s case). The book also highlighted differences in the types of searches, for how long they last, etc, depending on where a person goes missing; much of that comes down to cost. Cont in comments...

I have eight #River books on my Kindle. I just finished & LOVED Frozen River & read Follow the River Home several years ago. The the others are still in my TBR. 🏞️
pickThis was good. I figured out the twists, didn‘t make it less interesting. I liked how it played out. The writing was good. I‘ve enjoyed all of the Kubica that I‘ve read so far.
pickSometimes when you look at a photo of someone that is ‘missing‘, you just know they‘re gone. Something within you knows it. I had this feeling when seeing Jacob Grey‘s photo in the beginning of this book. The book largely focuses on his disappearance, but mentions other missing people throughout the chapters. The author spent a lot of time with different people, and mentions that there is a belief that the paranormal or the supernatural ⬇️
Started this today. I enjoy most of the books I‘ve read by Kubica. I think I may have figured out some of the twist In this one. About halfway through it.
