Find Me by Alafair Burke
4.0
This was my first experience with Alafair Burke and it definitely will not be my last.
Side Note: This book apparently can be considered #6 in the Ellie Hatcher series, but is written as a standalone so it can be read apart from the series. I can attest to this as I was unaware it was part of a series and read it just fine.
15 years ago, Hope Miller was in a terrible car accident that caused her to lose her memory, a memory that has not returned all of these years later. She has no memory of who she was, or why she was found in New Jersey, in a stolen car from Indiana.
Lindsay Kelly, the woman who found Hope after the accident and now Hope's best friend, has spent the past 15 years helping Hope build a new life. So when Hope is ready to move on, ready to fly on her own in a place where nobody knows her, Lindsay is concerned. And when she goes several days without hearing from hope, she knows something is wrong.
After arriving in East Hampton, Hopes new town of residence, she realizes Hope has vanished and immediately begins searching for her friend. And when DNA evidence found in the last place Hope was known to be connects her to a decades-old murder case in Wichita, Kansas, this start to become complicated.
In pursuit of answers, Lindsay contacts a NY detective, the daughter of the man originally investigating the Kansas murders, and together, the women search for answers that may have devastating consequences.
I would consider this a "Popcorn Thriller" as it was delicious and hard to put down. I was kept in anticipation the entirety of the time I was reading and just wanted to know what happened!
This was definitely more intricately woven then I was expecting it to be, and so there were definitely a lot of different characters and threads to follow which could be challenging, but overall very manageable. Usually this might have made me feel lost, but I was able to keep up pretty easily and really enjoyed how it all came together.
This was smart, clever, and with one final twist at the end that really gave it a solid conclusion, I definitely enjoyed this one immensely!
