Minka Kent Bundle #1-2

by Minka Kent

From Book 1:

A woman’s disappearance exposes a life of secrets in a twisting novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Memory Watcher.

Meredith Price is the luckiest woman alive. Her husband, Andrew, is a charming and successful financial broker. She has two lovely stepchildren and is living in affluence in a mountain resort town. After three years of marriage, Meredith’s life has become predictable. Until the day she disappears.

Her car has been discovered in a grocery store parking lot—purse and phone undisturbed on the passenger seat, keys in the ignition, no sign of struggle, and no evidence of foul play. It’s as if she vanished into thin air.

It’s not like Meredith to simply abandon her loved ones. And no one in this town would have reason to harm her. When her desperate sister, Greer, arrives, she must face a disturbing question: What if no one really knows Meredith at all? For Greer, finding her sister isn’t going to be easy…because where she’s looking is going to get very, very dark.

[Patricia Trapani · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book I've read by Minka Kent and it was worth the read. Loved the way the author unfolded the events leading up to the ending. Well written, kept the reader engaged and wanting more.

Another one from this author that starts off fairly interesting…then just devolves into a mess of tired clichés.

Meredith and Greer start out being likable enough.

It's nice not to have the incessant whingeing about other women that I’ve become accustomed to from Ms. Kent.

It's helpful to have many more characters introduced earlier on—it gives us a larger pool of suspects.

The “twist” is horrible.

She picked the wrong one to be the villain. 🤦‍♂️

As we get to know them, all of the characters are actually dreadful people. By 75%, I (hate admitting this) was skimming. Nothing made any sense. Like, her husband doesn’t even care that she’s been abducted. And no one’s really doing anything to find her—they’re just sitting around.

Allison and Wade are alright…but Allison has one chapter and Wade has, like, 3 lines.

I hope she gives the baby up for adoption. No one in this story should be raising any more children.
