PFL: Still Missing by Chevy Stevens

There are many different memes out there for bloggers to feature the books they're really, really looking forward to. Unfortunately, none of them really meet my needs as I tend to find books I consider my possible future loves in droves rather than one at a time. And I don't feel like featuring those books in droves either. When I fall for a book before its pub date, that usually means something! That means, from now on, you will occasionally (or for the next few weeks: quite some days) find this new feature here.



Still Missing by Chevy Stevens
pub date: July 6, 2010

Summary from GoodReads:

On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a thirty-two year old Realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever- patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor of the day pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.

Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive of a sadistic psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered spirit back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor.

The truth doesn’t always set you free.



I have a thing for thrillers where a victim survives and has to figure out who exactly abducted her.

I have this one and I didn't realize that she didn't know who her attacker was, I thought she was telling her story to a therapist. Hmm...the plot thickens. I am even further intrigued.

Nicole, that's how I understood the summary. The police trying to figure out the identity of her abductor... I assume she knows what he looks like, but not his name.
