"The Missing has a delicious sense of foreboding from the first
page, luring us into the heart of a family with terrible secrets and
making us wait, with pounding hearts for the final, agonizing twist.
Loved it."--Fiona Barton, author of The Widow
A harrowing psychological thriller about a missing teenage boy whose
mother must expose the secrets within their own family if she wants to
find her son--perfect for fans of Reconstructing Amelia.
You love your family. They make you feel safe. You trust them. Or do
you...?
When fifteen-year-old Billy Wilkinson goes missing in the middle of the
night, his mother, Claire Wilkinson, blames herself. She's not the only
one. There isn't a single member of Billy's family that doesn't feel
guilty. But the Wilkinsons are so used to keeping secrets from one
another that it isn't until six months later, after an appeal for
information goes horribly wrong, that the truth begins to surface.
Claire is sure of two things--that Billy is still alive and that her
friends and family had nothing to do with his disappearance.
A mother's instinct is never wrong. Or is it...?
Combining an unreliable narrator and fast-paced storytelling, The
Missing is a chilling novel of psychological suspense that will
thoroughly captivate and obsess readers.
