Resumen del Editor

New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf returns with a chilling pause resister about a woman chasing clues into a decades-old mystery that could have shattering repercussions.

Sarah Quinlan's husband, Jack, has been haunted for decades by the untimely death of his mother when he was just a teenager, her body found in the cellar of their family farm, the circumstances a mystery. The case rocked the small farm town of Penny Gate, Iowa, where Jack was raised, and for years Jack avoided returning home. But when his beloved aunt Julia is in an accident, Jack and Sarah are forced to confront the past that they have long evaded.

Upon arriving in Penny Gate, Sarah and Jack are welcomed by the family Jack left behind all those years ago - barely a trace of the wounds that had once devastated them all. But as facts about Julia's accident begin to surface, Sarah realizes that nothing about the Quinlans is what it seems. Caught in a flurry of unanswered questions, Sarah dives deep into the puzzling rabbit hole of Jack's past. But the farther in she climbs, the harder it is for her to get out. And soon she is faced with a deadly truth she may not be prepared for.

an excellent Gudenkauf

Iowa author Heather Gudenkauf has written a good, tight 'whodunit' thriller. I don't often get scared listening to books but I was thinking 'don't go down into the basement' at the end of this one.

It's a bit hard to think that a small town in Iowa, one of which I'm from, can have a murder mystery like this but they do happen. But in reading the summary of the book beforehand and with a title of 'Missing Pieces' you know there are long held secrets that will come out as the mystery unfolds. It only takes the first few chapters before you start thinking to yourself who might have done it? Before the book is finished you really think that almost everyone central to the story could have been involved.

I know my small hometown has lots of secrets so it really isn't surmising that this fictional town has some really good ones. A lot of nuances of being from a small farming community come out in this book as well, a part which I enjoyed.

Give this book a try, you won't be disappointed.

Family, love and heartache! Great

Wonderfully written. Beautiful suspense aith being graphic! Performance was superb! Don't miss this one! Enjoy!

Good story

The story is good, definitely read the paper copy! This narrator should NOT be on a book like this. Julia Whalen or Therese Plummer need to redo this.

NH Lee

Good story with a few twists. listened over 2 weeks on short trips easy to get back into the plot.

Love the book, narrator drove me a little nuts

Great story! Definitely a twist I wasn’t expecting. I absolutely love Heather Gudenkauf! The narrator sounded a bit like a game show host at times.

Not one of Heather Gudenkauf's better written books.

Not one of Heather Gudenkauf's better written books. It starts off ever slow and hard to get involved in the story.

Voices

Great book that was a little marred by the voice the narrator chose to use for Jack, one of the main characters. The rest of the voices were good but Jack ‘s was a soft monotone that didn’t sound real. Great suspense in the plot.

Great Story

Enjoyed this complex mystery. Liked Sara’s tenacity but her feeling so sure took away a bit, making her words redundant. Character development was ok. I would have loved more insight into this family!! Overall an enjoyable listen.

Narration was really good with the story!!

Julia

I liked how Julia forgave Jack at the end.. that’s what life supposed to be about. Forgive not necessarily forget, but try to forgive.

Narrator overly excited

The narrator reading was overly excited throughout the book. like readin headlines from newspaper
