“I’ve been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don’t know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she’s scared. But I will.”
Mia Dennett is a 24-year-old art teacher from a predominant Chicago family. One fateful night, Mia Dennett is at a bar, waiting for her sometimes boyfriend. When he fails to show, Mia leaves with a mysterious stranger. As far as first impressions go, Colin Thatcher seems like a norma,l one-night stand kind of guy. However going home with Colin will prove to be the worst mistake of Mia’s life.
Instead of delivering Mia to his employers as promised, Colin instead hides Mia in a cabin in a secluded area of Minnesota. Mia’s mother, Eve, is desperate to find her daughter and so is detective Gabe Hoffman. Almost nothing turns out as expected, especially when Mia returns and has no memory of what happened to her or her former life before the kidnapping.
Kubica's debut is a powerhouse! In the genre of thrillers, Kubica asserts herself as a top player. Her writing is clever, sharp, and tight. There were just enough plot twists, both subtle, and dramatic to make this book a contender to appear on various "best of" lists for 2015. The pace is fast enough to keep the reader engaged to polish off this book in one sitting which is exactly what I did.
