Wendy Walker | DON'T LOOK FOR ME

 Plot (via Goodreads):

One night, Molly Clarke walked away from her life. The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family that couldn't be put back together. It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to leave their lives behind and start over. She doesn't want to be found. Or at least, that's the story. But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke?

The night Molly disappeared began with a storm, running out of gas, and a man in a truck offering her a ride to town. With him is a little girl who reminds her of the daughter she lost years ago. It feels like a sign. And Molly is overcome with the desire to be home, with her family—no matter how broken it is. She accepts the ride. But when the doors are locked shut, Molly begins to suspect she has made a terrible mistake.

When a new lead comes in after the search has ended, Molly's daughter, Nicole, begins to wonder. Nothing about her mother's disappearance makes sense.

Nicole returns to the small, desolate town where her mother was last seen to find the truth. The locals are kind and eager to help. The innkeeper. The bartender. Even the police. Until secrets begin to reveal themselves and she comes closer to the truth about that night—and the danger surrounding her.

Review:

This review is going to be short because I loved this one, not because I didn't. With Wendy Walker, you can expect great characters, shocking twists, and a storyline that is unlike any other and that is exactly what I got with Don't Look for Me. There's some great character-driven moments in this one, there's an immersive mystery and some shocking twists and turns. The opening to this one is so creepy and cinematic and dark, I just immediately fell in love and that's all I'll say. 

My advice? Read this one ASAP with a hot cup of coffee or a nice glass of red wine and get lost in it during a nice brisk weekend. My only mistake with this one was starting it on a Friday night before a big day trip, so as much fun as I had shopping the next day there was a piece of me definitely waiting to complete this dark and cinematic story. Great job on another phenomenal novel, Wendy Walker! I can't wait to see what comes next.

Special thanks to St. Martin's Press for this copy in exchange for my honest review. 

Rating: 4/5
