Woman last seen / Adele Parks.

Parks, Adele, (author.).

Summary:

"Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered. Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman Daan and vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught. Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time-far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward and others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be. How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be." --Amazon.

Publishers Weekly Review

Woman Last Seen : A Novel

Publishers Weekly
(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

This uneven domestic thriller from British author Parks (Just My Luck) opens with a woman bound to a radiator in a darkened room, uncertain of where she is or how she got there. The scene shifts to the London home of management consultant Leigh Fletcher; her husband, Mark; and Leigh's two school-age stepsons. She has failed to return from a business trip, and Mark, at the urging of his sons, calls the police. After learning that Mark and Leigh argued on the eve of her trip, Detective Constable Clements believes that the disappearance may simply be a family dispute--that is, until she's assigned the case of another missing woman, Kai Janssen. Kai is childless and married to a young, handsome, and wealthy Dutch businessman. Though the two women seem to have led very different lives, Clements believes the two cases are connected. Those who enjoy reading about obtuse husbands, irritating children, and put-upon wives will be entertained, but the overly melodramatic machinations of the villain, whose identity becomes clear early on, and a vague ending will disappoint most. This is not Parks at her best. (Feb.)
