The author of Still Missing targets her readership with a novel that hits all the notes they come to expect from her—and ratchets up the stakes even more. Lindsey Nash has left an abusive relationship and her ex-husband was sent to jail. She has started over with a new life, her own business, and a teenage daughter who needs her more than ever. When her husband is finally released, Lindsey believes she has cut all ties. There is no way he can ever find her and her daughter again. But she gets the sense that someone is watching her, tracking her every move. Her new boyfriend is threatened. Her home is invaded. Even her daughter is shadowed. Lindsey is convinced it's her ex-husband, even though he claims he is a different person and doesn't want to do her any harm. But can he really change? Is the one who wants her dead even closer to home than she thought?
My review:
This is my first book by Chevy Stephens, and after devouring it, I'm sure it won't be my last! This was a fast paced page-turner with lots of twists and turns. The characters were well sculpted, the plot (with a few exceptions) seemed totally plausible, and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. As usual with these types of books, it's impossible to say too much without revealing anything, but you know the whole time that it's not going to be the obvious suspect. There are several bones thrown out, to make you think "well maybe it's him", and even though my suspicion proved correct, I was floored by the reason behind it.
A great thriller that will keep you reading, and your heart pounding, well after it's tidy conclusion. An awesome escape from reality novel. Can't wait to read more from this author!
I've seen this book around quite a bit and have wondered about it. I'm not a fan of the cover because it reminds me of another author's books. My mind fails me, so I can't remember the author. I'm glad it worked for you. Another to add to my list, maybe?
I don't like to read these types of books exclusively, or all together, but they work nicely after I've finished something more literary in scope. I'm thinking Dead Letters may be the same kind of book, and I know you are reading that one now (or just finished it). They are great escape books for me.
It was a good read. For me the best of hers.
Nice review.

I really enjoyed it. This was my first by her, so I can't compare. I'm glad I started with what you consider her best!
