Unmissing

A Thriller

De: Minka Kent

Narrado por: Carly Robins, Jane Oppenheimer

A return from the past knocks a family dangerously off-balance in a novel of spiraling suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door.

Weak, broken, and emaciated, it’s Luca’s first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should’ve ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they’ve built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet - it’s the least they can do.

But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt’s family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that’s especially unnerving? Why hasn’t she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying.

Because Lydia isn’t the only one with secrets.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Kent sets her hook so deep and springs such a dumbfounding series of surprises that very few readers will want to interrupt their reading for anything less than a house fire.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Well done

A real cliffhanger to the very end. Not overly wordy. Reader does a beautiful job.

Lydia is not quite believable as being a trauma victim

I thought it was a really good book but parts were pretty unbelievable for instants, why wouldn't she have gone to the police when she escaped?

Good until the end

It was pretty good until the abrupt ending. A lot of building up until “boom” it’s done. And leaves you hanging with one final question. What happened to the …? Barely 3 stars, do not recommend!

WHOA!

Really good! I don't want to say more and give anything away! Excellent narration! Beginning a little slow. Just keep with it.

You won't want to put this one down!

Ok, whoa! There were a couple twists that really changed the game about this book and had me randomly yelling out, No Way or You can't be serious! The character I just knew wasn't on the up and up was actually, on the up and up. I kept waiting for a plot twist with that character but it never came. I love Minka Kent books and I think I've read them all at this point. Like the others, this one doesn't disappoint.

Quite the twists

I never saw it coming not just once, but twice! Kept me wanting to listen ahead!

Great performance, so so story

it was a short read. I read it in pretty much 3 sittings. The performance was great the story was just so so with many holes, implausible, but was still entertaining.

Couldn’t stop listening.

Captivating from beginning to end. The narrators’ performance enhanced the story and characters. I couldn’t stop listening.

Great, great mystery!!!

I haven’t read such a great mystery in a long time!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book I would highly, highly recommend it!!!

excellent book

the idea of the unreliable narrator here keeps you guessing until the last few chapters. there are some particular twists and turns that completely shocked me. I'm hoping this author has written more
