Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/MIRA for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Adele Parks, and the sequel to Woman Last Seen - 4 stars!
Kylie has gone missing, is presumed dead, and the secret she kept - being married to two different men - is now out. It's all been too much and has devastated her husband Mark, along with her stepsons Oli and Seb, and her younger, rich husband, Daan. It's Daan who is the main suspect in the case, but DCI Clements isn't convinced. Meanwhile, on the Dorset coast, Stacie is back home with her father after having brain cancer surgery. She's recovering but has lost her memories.
While this is a sequel, it definitely works as a standalone. I read the first, and although the details kind of escaped me, it was interesting to see how it all turned out. I thought this was another well-written, roller coaster thriller from Parks and I enjoyed it, even though some of the storyline was a bit over the top. Told from many different viewpoints, it was good to see how all the pieces came together. Plus, Covid was used as a very effective plot point in the story. Loved the stepsons and the ending was perfect.
