Missing Pieces takes off with a bang and never slows down!! It is the story of Sarah and Jack Quinlan who travel to Penny Gate, Iowa after an unfortunate accident with his Aunt Julia. Upon arriving Sarah learns of many secrets her husband has kept from her and gets drawn in fast trying to uncover the stories of his past. I was sucked in from the very start and never wanted to put the book down. It was extremely fast paced and full of suspense, keeping me on my toes the entire time. I finished the book while in bed and was so on edge by what was happening I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder with a huge knot in my stomach. I don't think I've ever felt so emotionally present in a book ever!! I thought from about halfway through the book that I had it all figured out...and then the ending happened. I was completely wrong!! Unlike other books by Gudenkauf I've read, Missing Pieces is told 100% from Sarah's point of view. I often found myself wondering what the book would be like had we been inside Dean or Celia's head but the lack of other viewpoints didn't take anything away from the story. Mrs. Gudenkauf really knocked this one out of the park!!
Missing Pieces will be available to the public on February 2nd, 2016 and I highly recommend everyone checks it out!
