The Missing Hours by Emma KavanaghMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
When Selena Cole disappears, her vanishing might be (or not) linked to a murder.
But why has she vanished? Where did she go during the 20 hours she was missing? A widow with 2 small girls wouldn't surely abandon them in a play area with no explanation.
And who killed Dominic Newell and why?
What makes this book so good is the theme, one we can't imagine from how it starts: Selena and her husband are/were experts on kidnap and ransom, and travelled the world to rescue people victim of abductions. Through the cases cited in the book, we get a glimpse of their life until a few years before the book starts.
We also have a very improbable police team: DS Finn Hale, only 83 days since he was promoted and very unsure of himself. And his sister, DC Leah Mackay, struggling to balance life, family and work.
One of the best thrillers I've read lately!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
