"Turn[ing] a familiar suburban setting into a deliciously chilling landscape… Garza once again proves she's a master of twisted relationships."—Ashley Winstead, author of In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
In this chilling new novel, a woman discovers that her estranged daughter is missing, but no one believes her, until she meets a man claiming to be her daughter’s fiancé.
Tatum hasn’t seen her daughter, Adrienne, in years, not since Tatum’s husband—the pastor in their small California town—all but disowned her. When she finally gathers the courage to secretly reconnect with Adrienne, Tatum’s thrilled she’s even willing to talk to her. But then—Adrienne disappears.
Tatum tries desperately to get the police or her husband to take her daughter’s disappearance seriously, but no one will listen, until a mysterious man shows up claiming to be Adrienne’s fiancé. It’s a relief to finally have someone who believes her, someone who’s trying as hard as she is to find out where Adrienne is. But can she trust that this stranger is who he says he is? And can she find her daughter before it’s too late?

The story is told from multiple POV, and a past and present timeline. In the present, the mother Tatum is struggling to balance a loveless marriage to a stern pastor and rebuilding her relationship with her daughter. The daughter rebelled against the strict household and now works at a bar, so her mother is sneaking to spend time with her. Then she finds out Andrian is no call no show to work and seems to be missing.
In the past, the story is told from the daughter's perspective - how she feels about her parents, meeting her "fiancé" (who she never mentioned to her mother). The past timeline catches up to the present about 3/4 through.
The narrator who reads Tatum sounds in distress for the whole book, at times almost sobbing and hard to understand, even when there's nothing to be hysterical about. I think the character is written somewhat as a "victim" and the narrator makes that whininess even worse. The other narrators are amazing.
The only reason for 4 stars, not 5, is that the "danger" keeps ramping up or coming back. It reminded me of a horror movie where you breathe that sign of relief, but Jason comes right back. Once or twice even would be OK but it got tedious to me about the 4th time and took the book from 5 to 4 in the last 3 chapters.
I'm going to see what else Ms. Garza has on offer.
Great, Twisty Story
