Three Days Missing by Kimberly Belle
4.0
"It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: the call that comes in the middle of the night.
When Kat Jenkins awakens to the police on her doorstep, her greatest fear is realized. Her nine-year-old son, Ethan, is missing—vanished from the cabin where he’d been on an overnight field trip with his class. Shocked and distraught, Kat rushes to the campground where he was last seen. But she’s too late; the authorities have returned from their search empty-handed after losing Ethan’s trail in the mountain forest.
Another mother from the school, Stef Huntington, seems like she has it all: money, prominence in the community, a popular son and a loving husband. She hardly knows Kat, except for the vicious gossip that swirls around Kat’s traumatic past. But as the police investigation unfolds, Ethan’s disappearance will have earth-shattering consequences in Stef’s own life—and the paths of these two mothers are about to cross in ways no one could have anticipated.
Racing against the clock, their desperate search for answers begins—one where the greatest danger could lie behind the everyday smiles of those they trust the most."
I could barely put this book down! If it weren't for work and school, I would have been finished by the end of the day. In the beginning, Stef & Sam were the quintessential upper class snob. OF course Sam was the mayor; of course Stef was the pretty Barbie doll wife. Any scene with either character just irked my nerves. My opinion of politicians and their step-ford wives is low, so I just assumed I would hate the characters. For a while I did. I assumed he was a dirty politician who is probably having an affair and that she was a gossiping idiot. It was nice to see in the end that my view of them weren't correct. His actually had integrity and she wasn't some self centered twit. Kat was an easily understandable character. She is struggling with her finances and with herself after leaving an abusive marriage. Reading her pain felt so real and it was a bit devastating. Especially since we know many children who go missing aren't always found and when they are. they aren't usually alive. That's what made the story so suspenseful; it felt so real. I would definitely recommend to fans of suspenseful mysteries and/or psychological thrillers.
