About this listen
A "propulsive page-turner" (Alyssa Cole) and "thriller not to be missed" (Michael Connelly) from the award-winning author of Like a Sister, in which a woman thinks she’s waking up to a romantic vacation—only to find a body in her rental home and her boyfriend gone.
The truth is never skin deep.
It was supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend in New York City. Breanna’s new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything—the train tickets, the dinner reservations, the rented four-story luxury rowhouse in Jersey City with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But when Bree comes downstairs their final morning, she’s shocked. There’s a stranger laying dead in the foyer, and Ty is nowhere to be found.
A Black woman alone in a new city, Bree is stranded and out of her depth—especially when it becomes clear the dead woman is none other than Janelle Beckett, the missing woman the entire Internet has become obsessed with. There’s only one person Bree can turn to: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past. As the police and a social media mob close in, all looking for #JusticeForJanelle, Bree realizes that the only way she can help Ty—or herself—is to figure out what really happened that last night.
But when people only see what they want to see, can she uncover the truth hiding in plain sight?
"Fantastic. Only Garrett could craft a tale so adroitly attuned to our everyday fears."—S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed
“Taut, suspenseful, and packed with heart.”—Meg Gardiner, New York Times bestselling author of Heat 2
"Expertly mixes sorrow and grief, humor and identity, with the chaos of social media."—Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times bestselling author of What Never Happened
"Bree is unforgettable . . . you are in for such a ride."—Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Villa

But nothing dazzles quite like James “Reaper” Mann.

Story
When the body of reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her twenty-fifth birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. A tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. Yet Columbia grad student Lena—principled, headstrong, and allergic to the spotlight—knows that can’t be the case. Despite the bitter truth that the two hadn’t spoken in two years, they were half-sisters. Lena knew Desiree. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. Something is very wrong with the facts. So why is no one listening?

Critic reviews
“Garrett is at the top of her game with this propulsive page-turner that interrogates the intersection of true crime fandom, social media sleuthing, and race in America. Sharp and incisive prose, tight plotting, unexpected twists, and a poignant exploration of friendship and family make Missing White Woman a must-read.”—Alyssa Cole, New York Times bestselling author of When No One Is Watching
"Only a writer like Kellye Garrett could craft a tale so adroitly attuned to our everyday fears while also tapping the zeitgeist of infamy and identity facing all of us but especially black women in a world that so often puts them on the bottom rung of society's ladder. A fantastic thriller and amazing book!"—S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed, Razorblade Tears, and Blacktop Wasteland

When Jamie’s actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run.
