4/5
How do you build suspense when your readers already know the main character survives the horrific ordeal that is the basis for your story? Just ask this debut author. In Still Missing, Annie O'Sullivan is telling the story of her year in captivity to her shrink - so we know she makes it out alive. Still, you will cringe and squirm with each new atrocity her captor inflicts upon her.
Alternating between the present and the past, this is a story that will make you double check your locks at night. Even though the ending seems just a little far fetched, readers will root for Annie to reclaim her old life at the same time they hope she finds a way to accept her new normal.
