Good read if you love plot twists
Multiple spelling errors. The book itself was a good read – it kept my interest after years of not reading.

Fast paced kept me guessing.
This book was crazy! I really liked it. It was fast paced and kept you guessing. The missing declared dead wife of a self-made man returns and turns his life and marriage upside down. This was my first book by Minka Kent but I will definitely be reading more!

Great book
Great book to read, full of suspense and plot twists. This book was enjoyable to read and hard to put down. Some plot lines were expected, others were not.

I’m rendered speechless in the most delightful way by the genius of this Book!!!!
This is THE FIRST 5 STAR Book of 2022 for me!!! Luca and Merritt Coletto are a happily married couple who have worked hard to turn the first Restaurant they opened together in the beginning years of their marriage into such a success that they were able to expand that into more upscale restaurants as well as a Coffee Shop and a Deli. This was the dream they shared when they married… Their dreams also included children. And though that part of their lives looked bleak, maybe even impossible at a certain point in the marriage when they couldn’t seem to conceive a child….their love was blessed with their beautiful 3yr old Daughter and they have currently received what Merritt considers a miracle…. She is presently pregnant with a 2nd baby, this time a Boy, who is due to join their family in just a month. It seems their love has been beyond blessed. They are the perfect couple, with the perfect life.UNTIL, one night while Luca is away on business, Merritt opens her door one night to a dirty, bedraggled and emaciated Woman who claims to be Lydia, the woman Luca eloped with when they were attire young and had only been together for a few months. The really weird part? Lydia went missing within the first month she and Luca were married and despite exhaustive searches, was never found. That was NINE YEARS AGO. So, if this woman is indeed Lydia, where has she been for 9yrs, why is she showing up on Luca’s doorstep out of the blue, and what exactly is it she wants?We learn that the afternoon she went missing, she was on a solo hike while Luca was on a grocery run, when she was grabbed from behind by an unknown Man who knocked her unconscious with chloroform. She came to on the floor of a small, cold cabin floor with wrists and ankles bound with zip ties and this is where she was kept for 9 years by the Man she only refers to as ‘The Monster’. She was subjected to daily torture….physically, mentally and emotionally. As well as being raped on a regular basis. Though Merritt and even Luca find it suspicious that Lydia has not gone to the police not once and they don’t even know the details about how she was able to escape, they decide to do what they can to help her get on her feet. After all, this poor woman has obviously lived through hell, only to want nothing more than reunite with her Husband once free, only to find that not only has he had her declared legally dead years ago, but he is also happily remarried to a beautiful woman and they seem to be living nothing short of a perfect life together. But why exactly is Lydia STILL not going to the cops? What does she really want from Luca and Merritt? And why hasn’t she told anyone just how exactly she was able to escape? Is the Man who abducted her looking for her again? Are they in danger? You’ll have to read the book for the answers to these and a hundred more questions going through everyone’s minds. WOW.. JUST WOW. Since reading my very first Minka Kent book a few years back, her books became automatic pre-orders for me and I’ve not been disappointed once. Each and every book she has written has been an enjoyable read for me, and I expected no less from this book. What I DIDN’T expect when I started this, was how quickly I was turning the pages, actually finishing this in just a couple hours!!!! Nor was I in any way prepared to defend myself against what felt like a physical assault (in the best possible way) the way a couple of the twists actually felt like being hit in the solar plexus with a steel pipe. This is extremely important in my decision to give a ureter 5 stars, because this kind of visceral reaction to a Story and the characters within the story is what a reader craves every time they open a new book. But as other avid readers will be able to understand when I say, it’s a feeling that 99 times out of 100 , will elude me. Minka Kent’s ‘Unmissing’ will without a doubt finish in my Top 3 reads of 2022.

I liked all the twists and turns in this book.

Já acompanho a Minka Kent desde seu primeiro lançamento. à uma leitura fácil, rápida, cheia de reviravoltas que prendem o leitor desde o inÃcio. Talvez não sejam os ‘plot twists’ mais criativos do mundo ou, à s vezes, difÃceis de engolir, mas ela esbanja talento escrevendo essas ficções. Muito interessante este seu último livro onde uma esposa dada como desaparecida reaparece do nada e vai atrás de vingança. Um livro divertido e cheio de adrenalina.

From well written thriller to lifetime movie if the week absurdity in two easy plot twists.The first is meant to shock, but instead leaves any reader with an IQ over 85 rolling their eyes.The double twist is simply an insult to the intelligence.What a disappointment.

The characters are well described. Couldn’t put the book down. One of the must read in my opinion. I would love to read more books from this author

Luca’s first wife, Lydia was abducted 10 years ago and disappeared without a trace. After spending some time looking for her, Luca finally decided to move on and now has what appears to be a thriving business, a new wife, a beautiful daughter and a new baby son due to be born very soon. Then out of the blue, 10 years after her abduction, Lydia appears on the family’s doorstep with a story to tell.I was drawn in right from the start, wanting to know who had kidnapped Lydia and if there was a reason for the abduction. The story is a bit of a slow burner at first until a huge revelation, almost half way through the book, followed by another shocking twist which had me reading frantically to the end to find out what the outcome would be. I highly recommend this book.
