It’s the fourth of July and the whole town is gathered at the local pool. Through the sweltering afternoon, we single mothers don’t mix with the other women––the ones with the perfect lives and happy marriages. Women like Sabine Miller. But when Sabine shoots me a desperate look across the water and suddenly disappears, my blood runs cold…
Running to the back gate, all I find is a silver charm bracelet she dropped on her way out. I convince myself I’m imagining things until Sabine’s husband Mark appears. When he realizes she’s missing, he phones the cops straight away. “Someone has been threatening Sabine,” he says. “Now they’ve kidnapped her.”
Hours later, I wish I’d run faster. The whole town is searching the streets, calling Sabine’s name over and over. On the TV, Mark is begging for someone to bring his wife home.
The truth is, I was the last person to see her alive––and it’s killing me inside. Now the cops are at my door asking questions. I’m terrified they’ll find out what happened years ago between me and Sabine. Something I’ve never told anyone.
But I need to tell someone. Can you keep a secret?
From bestselling author Georgina Cross, the most exciting new voice in suspense, comes a twisted and unputdownable psychological thriller about the power and damage of secrets behind closed doors. Perfect for anyone who was totally hooked by The Wife Between Us, Big Little Lies or Gone Girl.

First, I want to thank Georgina Cross, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
WOW!! 2021 is off to a great start with a must read by Georgina Cross that must be on your TBR list titled The Missing Woman!! I thought her debut book The Stepdaughter was good but oh she topped that!! I am a huge fan of missing person cases but this one is unlike any I have read before!
The cover of the book is spot on with one of the main scenes in the book. Then to see the title you just know one of those women are the missing one. Great job to the graphic designers for capturing the scene perfectly.
There are some parts of the story that may be difficult for readers and may trigger them. Some of them are abortion, adultry, domestic abuse, etc. If this upsets you or bothers you this may not be the book for you.
Georgina did a magnificent job at keeping you on your toes throughout this book wondering what happened to Sabine. The mystery and suspense was intense. When you thought you knew what was going to happen she threw something else in to totally throw you off.
Another thing that Georgina did that was different besides having chapters she had time frames. The story would go from present to twenty-five years ago and you would learn more about the characters. Shocking revelations that impact today’s storyline. It would also go back in other time frames as well. So, don’t blink or you may miss a huge part of the story in the flashbacks.
Something else she did that I thought was very clever and so unique was she included Facebook Group Posts into her chapters.
I love when authors think outside of the box and it is clear that Georgina has definitely did that in The Missing Woman. I even love the unique names she picked out for her characters such as Heidi (very few authors use my name) and Sabine (such a beautiful name).
