Laura's Pick: Don't Look for Me by Wendy Walker

Don’t Look For Me is a suspenseful, psychological thriller that will leave you up at night, just to see what happens.

Molly Clarke has gone through one of the hardest things a parent can go through in life and unfortunately just hasn’t recovered yet. It doesn’t help that her family hates her for what happened. On the way home from her son’s football game, where he totally ignored her, she disappears. A couple of days later a note is found telling the family she is not coming back. Her family searches for her and they can’t find any evidence that an accident happened or where she might have gone. Out of the blue, a woman calls and says they saw a woman on the side of the road, fitting Molly’s description, getting into a dark colored truck. Molly’s daughter Nicole goes back to the small town where her mom went missing to try and find out where she went.

With alternating chapters of Molly and Nicole’s point of view, we see what is happening with Molly and we witness Nicole doing everything she can to put the pieces together. Can she put the pieces together before time runs out or before she too goes missing?

This is a heart-pounding, action-packed, unique story that will have you on the edge of your seat as the pieces come together for both Nicole and Molly. It is a genuinely disturbing family drama that shows obsession, child abuse, and the secrets people in a small town keep quiet. This is an amazingly written story that is un-put-down-able. I highly recommend.
