Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing MIRA for gifting me an ARC of the latest thriller by Amber Garza - 4.5 stars!
Tatum is struggling - her husband is the pastor in town, but his controlling and disapproving ways made their daughter leave the family home. He's also very dismissive of Tatum's health issues. Slowly, Tatum starts to rebuild a relationship with Adrienne by secret visits with her at the bar where she works. But when Tatum shows up on one of her usual nights, she finds out Adrienne didn't show up for work and no one has heard from her. Despite what her husband says, she begins investigating.
This was a good mystery, complete with lots of twists and turns. But I really liked going along on this mother's journey as she begins to stand up for herself, her daughter, her health and her feelings. Told from multiple POV - The Mother, The Daughter and The Fiancé - and timelines, we get the backstories that lead up the present day happenings. Short chapters and tense writing kept me glued to the pages!
