Once I opened "Missing Pieces", I could not get it out of my mind. Usually I absorb novels, but this one deserved careful reading.

It has been two days since the end, and it is still there, working its magic that good writing does.

Jack Quinlan, pried back to a home and family history that he once escaped. Sarah, his wife, never questioned Jack's background, until they land back in Penny Gate.

There she questions everything he has ever told her. Who is Jack Quinlan, husband and father of their two young adult daughters? What is he capable of?

The Quinlans came for one tragic event, and soon there are a string of mysteries that chill the reader to the bone.

The mystery lover will appreciate no easy guesses when it comes to who done it, and who will survive?

I look forward to more from Heather Gudenkauf, as a matter of fact I just purchased "Little Lies." She is an excellent writer.

Loved this domestic thriller and even after 20 years of marriage, you may not know all your partners secrets until it’s too late. ( )

Sarah and Jack have been happily married for 20 years. They have built a life together and raised 2 daughters, but Jack has been keeping secrets and just maybe some of them have been deadly. Sarah has always thought Jack's parents had died in an accident. Until they return to his home town where his aunt has been hospitalized Sarah really never gave it much thought or pressed him for details. Almost immediately upon arrival Sarah is bombarded with one uncomfortable and unpleasant surprise after another. There are so many things her husband has not told her, including his real name, or why his sister Amy refers to their former home as The House of Horrors. The more she finds out the less she feels able to trust him, The tension builds as Sarah investigates the past and the possibility that Aunt Julia's accident was not an accident after all. She begins to question whether she ever really knew her husband at all.
This was a highly suspenseful story.

I received an advance copy for review. ( )
