Suspense and mystery novels aren’t my favorites but every once in a while one catches my eye. Recently NetGalley offered Missing Pieces, a “chilling page-turner” from Heather Gudenkauf. Well! That sounded too good to pass up.
The book seemed reasonably decent, but I couldn’t get into it, just lost interest. I gave it up after about 25% and flipped to the back to find my theory as to the villain was completely wrong.
I think if you enjoy suspense and family mysteries you would like this. The writing was good and the setting, a small town in Iowa with family secrets, was intriguing. Perhaps had I stuck with it I may have enjoyed following the lead character, Sarah Quinlan, as she delves deeper into her husband’s past and family secrets. But maybe not.
I’m going to give this 3 stars on NetGalley because it would be a good read for those who enjoy the suspense / mystery genre.
