Well hellooo Wendy Walker! This author has pulled off another great thriller and I am becoming a big fan! Loved it!

"Don't Look for Me" is a page turner that grabbed my attention from the very start and didn't let go. The point of view changes between mother and daughter throughout. The pacing was great with the suspense notched up high keeping you hooked and needing to read just ONE more chapter! I couldn't s t o p reading!

Molly is a mother who is grieving and trying to heal all the while hating herself and fearing that her children hate her as well. There is the car abandoned miles from home, the note found at a nearby hotel, the shattered family that couldn’t be put back together. Did Molly really leave her children and husband behind or did something more sinister happen? Go in blind people, you won't regret it! 5 stars from this thriller lover! I didn't expect that ending. Can't wait to see what this author comes up with next!

Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book!

I am a super fan of Wendy Walker so I have been waiting anxiously to be able to request an ARC for her newest book. I received it yesterday morning and spent the entire day reading it, because how could I not? As always I was not disappointed, She is known for a fast paced book with tons of twists that keep you riveted. Don't miss out on this book it is one you will not want to miss. Make sure you check out her previous novels as well, because holy wow.

Molly Clarke's life is her family but after the death of her child Annie, things have not been the same for awhile. Everything seems to be falling apart and they cannot get past their grief. One night on the way home from visiting her son, her car breaks down. In that moment she thinks about walking away. From everything. She disappears and her family is left without answers. But did she really walk away or was there something more sinister going on. The POV changes throughout the book and you won't see it coming. Weaving masterful suspense with tons of questions, this is the book that needs to be in your life. Will they find Molly? Does she want to be found?

Don't Look For Me is intense, heart-wrenching and all consuming. Molly is a flawed, heart-broken character that grows stronger throughout the book. I wanted to keep reading, afraid of what I might read next. Wendy Walker did an amazing job and I was kept guessing throughout until the end. This one will get under your skin and stay there for a while. Not only is it a great psychological thriller, it really is terrifying.

Molly is on her way home from watching her son's football game. All her feelings coming to a head as a hurricane is bearing down on her. Her family, she feels, doesn't love her anymore. She has done something unthinkable, and even she can't forgive herself. She thinks of just leaving, walking away without turning back. She thinks of her son ignoring her after she drove 4 hours to cheer him on. She thinks of her daughter staying out all hours of the night, showing her hatred to her mother in a pivotal way that morning. She thinks of her husband falling out of love with her. So many reasons to just leave. She doesn't realize until it's too late that she is out of gas. She gets out of her car, walks into the storm and disappears.

Her car is found, her phone in the car and a note (with her clothes) left at a casino nearby, "Don't look for me" scrawled in Molly's handwriting. Her family, already shattered by one incident, struggles to piece together this new one. Would she really just leave? Nicole, her daughter, wishes she could take back those venomous words she said to her mom the morning she vanished. Evan realizes he may have played a part in this too, not even acknowledging his mother's presence. Her husband, knowing he too has become distant and unloving. What will it take to find out where Molly has gone? Did she really just leave them? Or is something far more sinister at the root of Molly's disappearance?

Don't Look For Me is an intense read that will have you looking over your shoulder. It is heart-breaking and terrifying all at once. I definitely recommend giving this one a read!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC.

I was so excited to receive an advanced copy of this book so thanks St. Martin's Press! I've really liked earlier Walker novels so I jumped at the chance to read this one. I read it in one day, almost in one sitting. It was a nail biter with twists and turns I didn't see coming. I do have to say that I have a big aversion to something that happens quite early in the book and I almost stopped reading. I'm glad i didn't though because it is a really good read. There's one thing that happens that is crucial to the ending that I don't think makes 100% sense, but it didn't spoil the story for me. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic read! Once I started reading Walker’s newest title I sat on the edge of my seat and read it in one sitting! The twists are tightly plotted and the ending is something no one will see coming!
