Items related to The Missing Hours
The new high-concept novel from the author of Falling and Hidden, a gripping psychological thriller by a former police psychologist. Perfect for fans of Nicci French and Tana French.
The morning was quiet, the playground peaceful. Inside two little girls sit by the swings. Their mother was with them only a second ago, but then the older girl blinked and she vanished. The police are called and their family traced. But their mother -- a well-respected professional -- would never just disappear and leave her children alone.
Would she? 12 hours later she is found by an off-duty police officer -- a detective with problems of her own. The missing woman has no explanation for where she has been, and seemingly no recollection of what it is she has done.
Desperate for answers, the people who surround her begin to dig into the mystery that is her disappearance, and it soon becomes clear is that no two people have the same understanding of what happened that day.

Review:
"Cleverly constructed ... this engaging and compulsive story will reel you in and keep you guessing right till the end, which, by the way, is an absolute belter. Prepare to have your mind well and truly twisted" * Heat * "A tense and dramatic thriller. Told from the viewpoints of several characters - all impressively well realised - and interspersed with case files from kidnappings in more exotic locales, this makes for an intriguing story, that wrongfoots at several turns." * Sunday Mirror * "So when an author you've admired from their very first book hits the sweet spot in the writing and storytelling stakes it is a real moment of reading joy, such as has just happened with Emma Kavanagh and The Missing Hours. I was a huge fan of the previous two novels but this was a pretty much one sitting completely immersed practically inhaled read that actually I've just put down. And had to write about straight away. With a perfectly placed atmospheric ending that just put the icing right on top of the already delicious cake, The Missing Hours comes highly recommended from me." * Liz Loves Books * "So when an author you've admired from their very first book hits the sweet spot in the writing and storytelling stakes it is a real moment of reading joy, such as has just happened with Emma Kavanagh and The Missing Hours.

Emma Kavanagh is a wonderful, original writer and The Missing Hours is a fine achievement. There is nothing about this book I didn't love. I can't say more than that - except more, please!" * For Winter Nights *
