Ok first I hate the idea of missing children but man when the plot is this good its amazing. I loved this book it felt like a movie and tbh i really hope it does get picked up for a script maybe for a tv show I think that would work really well. I will say sometimes the story was a little slow but I know that was to establish the storyline.

I found it really interesting that it was a news reporter who's son went missing. I think in books ive read before its always been a random housewife. Having it be a person in the public eye changed a lot. I loved this book and I may have to buy it because I love the cover.

What if the truth was a lie?

This new-to-me author examines a parent’s worst nightmare - a missing child. It’s intense, heart-wrenching, harrowing, and full of secrets and mistrust; everything you’d expect it to be…in spades! Mofina singlehandedly put himself on my auto-read list.

I could feel the exasperation as Corina Corado’s life was turned upside down. She’s used to being one half of a power couple, in control and able to throw money at anything she can’t fix herself. This time it’s different. Really different. She’s used to being on the other side of an investigation as a journalist, now she has to sit back and ‘do nothing.’ It’s not easy for someone who likes to have control. Mofina was able to make me feel the panic and paranoia. What a week!

The plot was well organized and the main focus on the investigation meant that I was put on full alert looking for motives and perpetrators. Mofina ramped up the tension with the inclusion of threatening messages, hate mail and conspiracy theories. The mystery was fuelled with the revelation of the Corado’s hidden secrets. I truly felt the clock ticking, the race against time, as all resources were pulled to find six-year-old Gabriel Corado. Central Park is vast and time is tunning out - Mofina made sure I felt the pressure, too.

The examination of family dynamics and the pressure of a missing child was executed perfectly. I did struggle with the large cast of characters and the pacing, but I’d already been hooked and was willing to bear with it. This is just a personal preference and has no bearing on the quality of the author’s work.

I will be on the lookout for another pacey read by this author!

I was gifted this copy By Harlequin Trade Publishing, MIRA and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Someone Saw Something is the first Rick Mofina book I've read.

The story starts when the child of an affluent couple is kidnapped from Central Park as he is being watched by his older sister. The family reacts instantly and the investigation begins. There are many many suspects and all angles were believable. The story has many flashbacks and story angles.

I liked all the characters in the story, especially Corina. I found her very strong, especially in dealing with all the "haters" she encountered during her career.

I felt this book had more of a focus on the investigation, which is not usually the type of book I read. I enjoyed it but was more drawn to the parts involving family drama.

This was a fast-paced read and quite good. The ending was interesting and left me satisfied. I give this book 3.5 stars.

I just reviewed Someone Saw Something by Rick Mofina. #SomeoneSawSomething #NetGalley

Top news reporter to the number one feature can you imagine? Ask your oldest to pick up the youngest from school, what could happen? All it takes is one moment, one minute of texting, one innocent everyday all the time task and then poof…. where is Gabriel?

Did anyone see anything? Could it have been someone from your past? What about your husband’s? Are there secrets? How long can the secrets hold up? What will you do to bring your son home?

There were a few times I wanted to skip
pages in order to leave out what I thought was unnecessary story- telling but each time I got ready to skip ahead I’m glad I didnt’t! Truly loved the imagery given throughout the story and the entire storyline as well what a true whirlwind!

Thank you NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing, MIRA.

I have read a few books by Rick Mofina and have definitely enjoyed his suspenseful writing style, however this book missed the mark just a little for me.
Corina a successful journalist is married to her equally successful husband, Robert. She also has a step daughter, Charlotte and a 6 year old son, Gabriel. A beautiful career, family, and life … what could go wrong?! Well … a lot! One day Gabriel goes missing from Central Park and suddenly Corina and her family are the focus of the news!
This book moves through the search to find Gabriel in a seven day period exploring different aspects of the family’s lives. This has all the makings for a solid thriller, but there were SO many added small characters and details it became confusing and took away from the central storyline of the book. It also moved at a slow pace and took forever to get to the reveal.
I would still give this book a read and form your own opinion because the message is important.

Thank you to the Author, Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and MIRA for the ARC of this book!

This is my first Mofina book. Sadly, the writing was all over the place. There were too many characters and unnecessary details, so it was hard to feel a connection with any of them. The pace was too slow with minimal action. It was difficult to stay engaged.

First of all, thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. This book left me speechless. It was my first by Rick Mofina but it certainly won't be the last. This is the kind of book that makes you want to binge an author's entire list of books they've ever written. It was just that good.

This is one of the best books I've read all year.

Thank you for the opportunity to preview Someone Saw Something. A power couple - rich and successful living in New York have it all. They have influence in their jobs and are well known.
Their young son is kidnapped and their lives - past and present- are on display and they are desperate to find their child.
This book moves thru 7 days and has plenty of twists as the police and media tell the life stories of this family and their desperation to find out where their child is and if he is even alive.
Lots of characters to keep track of which was for me a source of confusion.
Good book all in all 3 atars

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! Great book! This book had a bit of everything! It had High suspense, Action, intrigue, mystery, murder, revenge, child abduction, conspiracy activists, a great who done it, great plot twist, great police work, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle!! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This was an unexpected delight! I haven't read Rick before , I enjoyed the pace of the book, the storyline and the characters, it was the perfect surprise with a bow on top! I was all in within the first few chapters and had to binge it . Couldn't read this one fast enough. Brilliant weave of a story that kept me guessing. 4 stars

This books was a fast read, but was a painfully slow moving. So many different characters without any action
Was it ever going to end.
Thanks nNetGalley for advance copy.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. This is the third book I have read by the author and I found it to be fast paced and hard to put down, especially the last half. We follow Corina, her husband and their two children, one of whom is kidnapped right from Central Park. The Police are involved and trying to find Gabriel, but is the family revealing all? Interesting read with multiple twists.

This was intense and such a good reading experience! Someone Saw Something, but do they realize what they saw?

Journalist Corina Carado, married to Robert Tanner whose daughter Charlotte now 16, face the kidnapping of Corina's 6 yr old son Gabriel in broad daylight in NYC Central Park. Who took Gabriel? Why Gabriel and why now? There are so many things going on with a growing number of potential kidnappers/groups that the investigation keeps expanding to other precincts and other states and countries. Keeping a steady stream of looking into the lives of all involved keeps everyone on edge.

I found this thriller's steady pace another reason I highly recommend Rick Mofina and have for years. The ending was so emotional I know this will stay with me for a long time. Corina is a character to admire.

This book offers a riveting, fast-paced journey through a missing child mystery, capturing the essence of a thrilling page-turner. Its enthralling nature is such that readers might find themselves finishing it in a single night. The plot is peppered with numerous red herrings and detailed backstories of minor characters, which, while intriguing, sometimes detract from the central storyline. Additionally, the occasionally frustrating and questionable choices made by family members in the story can be irksome, but they don't significantly diminish the overall enjoyment. It's an engaging read, perfect for those who love a good mystery. My thanks go to Mira for providing a digital review copy.

I was issued this book by NetGalley for my unbiased review.

I have to question myself--Why don't I read more of Rick Mofina's books?

This was another great read from Mr. Mofina. His books are always exciting and keep twisting and turning. You think you have it figured out and all of a sudden things change and your back to re-evaluating. I think he could make a walk in the park exciting--oops, that is what he did!

I do have to read more of his books! Great story teller.

I’m a faithful Rick Mofina reader and his books are ALWAYS fantastic, however, this book just couldn’t seem to end. The concept and story are great but there are just pages and pages where not much is happening. Thanks for the advanced read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC!

When Corina’s son goes missing in Central Park walking home after school with his sister, detectives are on a race against the clock to get him back. Corina is a news anchor who has been targeted before so the list of suspects is potentially a long one.

This book would make a great action movie. I would have enjoyed to see more from Gabriel’s perspective but I really did enjoy the ending!

This is a fast-paced, page-turning missing child mystery. It's an exciting book readers will finish in one night. There are a lot of red herrings and traumatic back stories on minor characters that take the focus off the main plot, and the family members dumb decisions make them pretty annoying, but overall it's an entertaining read. Thank you Mira for the digital review copy.

This book by Rick Mofina intrigued me because the synopsis was pretty typical of the books that appeal to me when I want something fast-moving. Fast moving, this was not. However, it was enjoyable overall BUT it was painfully slow.
