St. Martin's Press & Macmillan Audio - 2020
Don't Look for Me, a dark, thriller full of twists, was a combo read for me (eGalley and audio download). The audio was read by Therese Plummer who did a great job.
In this story Molly Clark is a wife and a mother and her life is a mess. Her youngest child was struck and killed by a car at the age of 6 and, Molly was driving the car that killed her daughter. Her older children. a daughter and a teenage son barely speak to her now and her husband has been avoiding her as well.
When Molly fails to return home one rain and stormy night, her car abandoned on the side of the road with her cell phone still inside, foul play is suspected. However, when a note left in a casino hotel room miles away that appears to have been written by Molly, just maybe Molly decided to walk away from her miserable life?
This was a fast-paced thriller that could have easily been read in one sitting. I found myself trying to piece it all together and, although it wasn't quite perfect, it did hook me and had more than a few surprises. I always love when a story is just too riveting to put down.
Rating - 4.5/5 stars
That sounds like a nightmare life. I need happier books these days, or at least not that bad.

DeleteIt wasn't perfect but, it was one that kept you reading.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and how it was a little different and not all together too predictable.
