Don't Look for Me by Wendy WalkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this fast paced thriller. It begins with a mother who is down on herself and becoming somewhat distant from her husband and kids. She has a son away at school and travels to watch him play sports and a daughter who has pulled away as well. Her husband will stay out all night at times because he can’t bear the tension and angst in the home. Several years previously, the mother, Mollie Clarke has experienced every parent’s worst fear, her youngest daughter is run over by a car and dies and she was the driver. No one really knows how devastating the loss of a child is unless they have experienced it. The most we can do is watch people we know endure this pain and how it is so difficult to get past with the rest of the family intact.
One day, Mollie is heading home from her son’s game when she runs out of gas on an isolated road and a hurricane is bearing down. Fortunately a truck is driving by and the man and his daughter are happy to help her. They try to drive her to a gas station but it is closed due to the weather. He takes her to his home and the twists and turns begin.
There are interesting characters and plot twists in this novel, mostly surprising although one major twist seemed obvious. I didn’t mind that at all. There is still plenty to keep the story going.
If you like thrillers with a family saga involved, this is a fun read.
Recommend, especially for spooky/mysterious vibes.
