Book Review: UnMissing by Minka Kent

I was back and forth on this book for quite some time. I liked the characters and could tell there was much more to them, and I love an unreliable narrator. As with most thrillers that promise the ever-magical insane twist, I was skeptical, especially as the blurb seemed to almost directly tell us something that, in some books, would be the totality of that twist. When that ah-ha moment came just after the halfway point, I was... confused and honestly, ready to be disappointed.

Fear not, there is more to come, much more. I won’t say too much, but just about everyone steps up in unexpected ways. I kind of wish there was one more chapter to wrap up at the end, but it was satisfying enough. I damn near* felt bad for our antagonist #1 by the end. *Near—not actually, terrible person through and through, but hey, characters with layers—I love them. Or maybe love to hate them. Either way.
Unmissing is a good read, especially if you are slightly more patient (or perhaps read faster) than me. Also being the terrible keeper-upper of authors I like, I hadn’t realized until I made it to the author bio that I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed Minka Kent before. Who knew? Nicely, she has a good bit of a back catalog I can now happily peruse.
