Molly Clarke has not had it easy the last few years. She accidentally kills her youngest daughter, Annie, with her car, which ruins her relationship with her husband and two older children, Nicole and Evan. So when Molly disappears on a stormy night, leaving her car and phone behind on the side of the road and her wet clothes in an empty hotel room, everyone thinks she’s just walked away. But Nicole, struggling with guilt over her sister’s death, isn’t willing to let her go that easily.
Told in alternating chapters between Nicole’s search for her mother, and the truth about what is happening to Molly, really draw the reader through the story. And not revealing who has Molly until later in the book makes it exciting when trying to figure out which of three possible characters is responsible for her disappearance.
I’m not so sure about the ending, though. I understand where it came from, but it was also a bit more far-fetched than believable. But even so, this was a thriller worth reading.
