Resumen del Editor

A "propulsive page-turner" (Alyssa Cole) and "thriller not to be missed" (Michael Connelly) from the award-winning author of Like a Sister, in which a woman thinks she’s waking up to a romantic vacation—only to find a body in her rental home and her boyfriend gone.

The truth is never skin deep.

It was supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend in New York City. Breanna’s new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything—the train tickets, the dinner reservations, the rented four-story luxury rowhouse in Jersey City with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But when Bree comes downstairs their final morning, she’s shocked. There’s a stranger laying dead in the foyer, and Ty is nowhere to be found.

A Black woman alone in a new city, Bree is stranded and out of her depth—especially when it becomes clear the dead woman is none other than Janelle Beckett, the missing woman the entire Internet has become obsessed with. There’s only one person Bree can turn to: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past. As the police and a social media mob close in, all looking for #JusticeForJanelle, Bree realizes that the only way she can help Ty—or herself—is to figure out what really happened that last night.

But when people only see what they want to see, can she uncover the truth hiding in plain sight?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Garrett is at the top of her game with this propulsive page-turner that interrogates the intersection of true crime fandom, social media sleuthing, and race in America. Sharp and incisive prose, tight plotting, unexpected twists, and a poignant exploration of friendship and family make Missing White Woman a must-read.”—Alyssa Cole, New York Times bestselling author of When No One Is Watching

"Missing White Woman is a compulsive page-turner with plenty of twists and turns you won't see coming. Kellye Garrett is a rising star, and Missing White Woman is her best one yet."—Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author

"Only a writer like Kellye Garrett could craft a tale so adroitly attuned to our everyday fears while also tapping the zeitgeist of infamy and identity facing all of us but especially black women in a world that so often puts them on the bottom rung of society's ladder. A fantastic thriller and amazing book!"—S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed, Razorblade Tears, and Blacktop Wasteland

Just ok

maybe it was the narrator's boring voice but this book didn't do it for me, it was grueling to get through to the end. the end was kind of flat, as well.

Satisfying twists

A bit of slowed pacing in the middle, but the reveals in the last 25% of the book are well worth the wait.

I wanted to love it

Too many coincidences. Too many forgotten phones. I couldn't connect with Bree. There were no trustworthy white women in this story, yet she kept trusting them. it felt contrived and culturally inaccurate.

a who dunnot with a great twist

the story flowed well and painted a stark picture of how social media can be misused.

Loved it!

Really enjoyed this book. So many social issues were addressed. Media coverage of Missing white women social media driving suspicion and crypto currency

Loved the ending!

This book was unique but there are some parts that were formulaic. I follow plots closely and there are some elements of the story that are far-fetched or are just plain plot holes. However, the ending was unexpected. This story also brings to light the fact that social media is a very powerful tool that can be used for good and evil by everyday people.

Not Great

Not enough worthwhile character development. Felt like the story never quite lived up to a climax and dragged on for too long.

Such a shame!

I absolutely adore Kellye Garrett, and have devoured all her audiobooks which are read sublimely by Bahni Turpin. I don‘t know what happened here that they didn‘t let Turpin read this one too. I just can‘t get through this one. Blake has a lovely voice, but she reads so slowly and flatly that I can‘t follow what she‘s saying. The sentences fall apart into single words. There is no emotion or pace. A real shame. Please give the job back to Turpin.

Modern, witty and engaging

For such an anticipated title and great story, the ending did not make sense! So disappointed! Wasted my time

Boring and unrealistic

What a drudgery! The protagonist is an absolute fool who makes terrible choices. The twist is just lazy and bizarre - no gotcha moment there. And this narrator uses the same inflection for every sentence, which made listening a chore. Save yourself and choose a different book.
