Wonderfully suspenseful mystery

Don’t Look for Me: A Novel

By: Wendy Walker

Rating: 5 of 5

This is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly will not be the last. The story was filled with both mystery and suspense.

Molly Clarke has been having trouble with the members of her family. One fateful night, she walked away from the life that was giving her grief. Well, that is what the note she left behind says.

Her husband is willing to believe she meant it but her daughter wants to investigate her mother’s disappearance. It might be because of the guilt that she feels but it might also be because she simply does not believe it. Her younger brother is on her side as well, but he has much to feel guilty about, too.

She heads to the area where her mother disappeared and starts to look into the people who live nearby. She is drawn further into the investigation without having any idea of which people she can trust and which people may have been involved.

The story goes back and forth between narrators but it is easy to follow the storyline. It made for a suspenseful plot and one that I continue to think about.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
