Synopsis

Two women haunted by their sisters’ unsolved disappearances band together in this captivating mystery from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Good People Here and host of the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie.

“Sharp, slick, and chilling, with a whiplash ending you’ll never see coming.”—Jeneva Rose, author of Home Is Where the Bodies Are

Nicole “Nic” Monroe is in a rut. At twenty-four, she lives alone in a dinky apartment in her hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, she’s just gotten a DWI, and she works the same dead-end job she’s been working since high school, a job she only has because her boss is a family friend and feels sorry for her. Everyone has felt sorry for her for the last seven years—since the day her older sister, Kasey, vanished without a trace.

On the night Kasey went missing, her car was found over a hundred miles from home. The driver’s door was open and her purse was untouched in the seat next to it. The only real clue in her disappearance was Jules Connor, another young woman from the same area who disappeared in the same way, two weeks earlier. But with so little for the police to go on, both cases eventually went cold.

Nic wants nothing more than to move on from her sister’s disappearance and the state it’s left her in. But then one day, Jules’s sister, Jenna Connor, walks into Nic’s life and offers her something she hasn’t felt in a long time: hope. What follows is a gripping tale of two sisters who will do anything to find their missing halves, even if it means destroying everything they’ve ever known.

Goodreads review by Linzie (suspenseisthrillingme) on May 16, 2025

Hypnotic, addictive, and thoroughly twisted, The Missing Half took my expectations and ran them down before then reversing and repeating the maneuver. Not in a bad way, of course. No, quite the opposite, in fact, as Ms. Flowers delivered a plot that felt both perfectly crafted and beyond realistic.......more

I could not put this one down. Two girls disappear within a couple weeks of each other and years later their 2 sisters team up to decide to finally figure out what happened to them.

Goodreads review by Karen on May 16, 2025

I was reluctant to read this one because I had a difficult experience with her debut novel, “All Good People Here.” But I was willing to give myself and this author another chance. To be honest, my experience was better with this one, BUT… What happens when 2 women go missing from the same area with......more
