I love a good domestic thriller, especially with circles of friends, etc. However, this just fell flat for me. I didn't get invested in any of the characters. I am so done with the "kidnapping, missing wife" trope. Maybe if I had not been burnt out with this theme, I may have enjoyed it more. I found myself skim reading after half way through the book. 2.5 stars.

This is a book of secrets. A woman goes missing at a well attended event and no one saw anything that can help find her. As secrets are revealed, those of the missing woman and those of everyone around her, the questions start becoming darker. Georgina Cross scatters a few clues throughout the story but then takes them back in the next twist. A great mystery/ thriller by an author I had not read before but am sure to read again.

The Missing Woman follows Erica who, like the rest of her neighbours, is wondering what has happened to Sabine Miller. Sabine disappeared while everyone was watching the fireworks on the 4th July celebrations and the scene at the house suggests she was taken or ran from an attacker. As Erica was one of the last people to see Sabine she fears that questioning from police will reveal secrets from her past.

This was a fairly average thriller for me, I was interested enough to continue reading and the plot was decent but I think it fell down a little on the characters. I didn't really connect with Erica and the others felt a bit flat and I just wasn't as invested in them as I wanted to be. It was interesting to watch some characters turn on each other to try and shift suspicion from themselves and also the loyalty Erica had to her friends who came to her with concerning confessions. Overall a decent enough read but not hugely memorable.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great domestic thriller that kept me engaged from the start and I found myself not wanting to put it down, I would highly recommend

This is one of the first books I've read by Georgina cross and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It had me engrossed from the very first page and is a gripping read that will keep you hooked until the very last page. I really enjoyed the twists and turns along the way.

Domestic thrillers are definitely my favourite books and I'm looking forward to reading more books by Georgina Cross.

Thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book for my honest review.

I'll keep it short and sweet - everything about this book was excellent!

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

The Missing Woman has multiple twists I didn’t expect. There is a lot of suspense throughout the book. The police are suspecting everyone of being involved with Sabine’s disappearance. Everyone suspected is trying to push the blame off on someone else. The Missing Woman is a great thriller. I liked the characters. Erica is trying to figure out what happened to Sabine while also supporting her friend Tish. Tish has revealed some concerning secrets, but Erica is still completely supportive of Tish. Erica and Tish are very loyal. Sabine is an interesting character with so many secrets that get revealed throughout the book. The more I learned about Sabine and her story, the more I liked her. I liked how there were unexpected allies, and everything was explained and tied up nicely.

Thank you Netgalley and publisher for opportunity to read and review this ARC honestly.

Wow this one was a great read. Very suspenseful and thriller keeping you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed the pacing, the characters, and the flow of the story. Would definitely recommend to others and read more by this author.

#The Missing Woman by #Georgina Cross is a wonderful written thriller. The story line has twists, characters you question and then a big drop. I've never been one to tell spoilers.
Thank you for the advance copy,

It took me a while to get through this book. It just didn't keep my attention. It's a fairly easy read. The storyline is okay, it just didn't grab me unfortunately.

I really enjoyed this title. I liked the twists and turns and the writing style is nice and smooth. The story flows well and kept my attention. Thank you for the opportunity to read this title. I will be recommending this one to friends.

Well written book. Storyline flows at a good pace. Well developed with strong characters. Captivating from start to finish.
I recommend!

This is my honest review, all opinions are my own. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this great book!

This has a twist and a half. I don’t want to give it away so just read the book and let the story take you away. Nothing is at seems and everything is there if you’re looking. I’m definitely reading this again. 5/5.

This is a Suspense Mystery/Thriller. I feel the pacing was perfect in this book (at times the book moves slow and at times it is moving very fast), and There was no time while reading this book I felt book. This book kept me guessing the whole time. I have to say that is took me a little bit to give totally in to this book. The twists and turns where so good, and I did not guess any of them. I loved this book so much. This book to me is more of a suspense mystery then a thriller because to me a thriller scares me or gives me on easy feeling, and this book did not give me that. It was written so well, and the characters was very developed by the end. I feel the twists was reveal at the perfect time in the book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Bookouture) or author (Georgina Cross) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review about how I feel about this book, and I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

I loved the pace in theis book. It had me guessing all the way through. Lots of twists and turns. Loved the characters in it. Some you loved and some you hated. Social media plays a part in this book so its relevant to todays society. I really liked the way the story unravelled.

Recommended to readers who like a neighborhood dramatic thriller stories.

Sipping thoughts: I was not expecting what I read! I thought going into the book, I could guess what happened or what was going to happen, and boy was I wrong! The twists in this book does not seem contrived or ones that were placed just to say there were twists. The twists were strategically placed and unexpected, in my opinion. The beginning is quite a slow burn, but I thought it was slow with enough content to keep my interest to see what really happened. This is my second G.C. book and I am loving her writing style, next up Nanny Needed due to be released October 2021.

Cheers and thank you to @NetGalley, @GeorginaCrossAuthor and @Bookouture for an advanced copy of @TheMissingWoman.

The missing woman by Georgina Cross was a slow burner at the beginning then Bang! then it picked up. I certainly didn't see the twist at the end. I really ended up enjoying this book. I am so glad I am so glad I did not give up on it.

Big thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture and Georgina Cross for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

The blurb for this book intrigued me, and while I am glad that I read the book, I did find that it wasn't quite as thrilling as I would have liked.

The story had plenty of twists and turns, which I loved, and that is great, however, I did find the pace to be a bit slow for my liking.

The author paints the picture for an idyllic setting and way of life for the residents in this community with her writing, and I could jut close my eyes and envision the busy swimming pool, and feel the heat of the day.

A good read if you are looking for something that will keep you guessing.

I’m sorry not every book is for every one
And this one was not for me
It was more fiction than thriller
Thank you for the chance to try.

I received an eARC of The Missing Woman by Georgina Cross from Bookouture and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
5 stars! This is a well-crafted thriller by a very talented author. I couldn't put this book down. It reminded me of Gone Girl. Full of secrets and twists, it's the perfect read for those who love thrillers.
