The Day I Disappeared | Brandi Reeds
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
A terrifying crime reunites a mother and daughter in a novel of psychological suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Trespassing. Three months after four-year-old Holly Gebhardt was kidnapped, she was inexplicably returned to the same park from which she'd vanished...with no memory of the ordeal. Though a local handyman was convicted, suspicion also fell on his friend--Holly's mother, Cecily. The troubling doubts about her involvement shattered the family, forever driving a wedge between mother and daughter. Twenty years later, another girl goes missing under eerily similar circumstances. It's just the latest in a series of kidnappings that Detective Jason Guidry thinks Holly can help solve. Though Holly has tried to move on with her life, a young girl's life hangs in the balance. All she has to do is try to remember... With her memory still mostly blank, Holly's missing vital pieces of the puzzle, and she believes her mother can put them in place. In desperation and fear, Holly and her mother come together again. But in a chilling rush toward the past, Cecily still has secrets she's yet to share with her daughter. Should she dare to breathe a word, she could lose Holly all over again.

Stories of missing (and returned) children automatically pique my interest, so I was excited to try my first novel from Reeds! Plus, I had no idea that she was a #Chicagoland author until I started it! And while a staunch Cubs fan who doubted a similar love of the “other” team in a suburb so close to mine (Lake Bluff), I still really enjoyed this one! I thought the plot unfolded well and while the ending wasn‘t a huge shock, I still had fun!

The story was so compelling, the characters so interesting. I love a thriller that takes you on a journey, and this one did exactly that.

What makes this story so intriguing is that neither narrator is entirely reliable. Holly‘s memories are almost nil, just bits and pieces and shards of visions that may or may not be real. And Cecily is an alcoholic in a coma whose memories may or may not be altered from years of abusing alcohol.

Just finished this ARC from NetGalley. Absolutely fabulous! Told between a mother lying in a coma and a daughter who‘s life is chaotic this book takes you through Holly‘s story about trying to remember who may have kidnapped her for 94 days and then retuned her home. They may be doing it again. Just when you feel like you know who did it the twisting of characters lead you into a different direction. Definitely recommend this book.
