Finding Tessa

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!
Looking for a 5-star stunner with a jaw-dropping twist? Well, LOOK NO FURTHER!
A brief synopsis that won’t give too much away (unlike the actual book blurb, which may reveal a secret or two):
Jace Montgomery comes home late one evening to find his wife, Tessa, MIA. He is instantly on alert when he notices broken glass, a clump of hair, and blood. He immediately reports this to the police, but never expects to be their prime suspect in her disappearance.
Tessa is thrilled to be out from under the watchful eyes of her abusive husband. She has been hurt too many times, and wants him to pay for it. She sets him up to pay the price for her disappearance, and couldn’t be more thrilled.
...As long as she gets away with it.
This is a smart domestic thriller that literally made me GASP at one of the twists. That is always a fun treat. It’s hard to believe that this is a debut novel. Author Jaime Lynn Hendricks is effortless in moving the plot along at a fast pace and ramping up the suspense, so much so that I barely slept and picked it back up in the very early morning hours. Talk about a gripping thriller!
The characters are fantastically written and fully fleshed out, and I couldn’t help but care deeply for Tessa and all of the terrible things she has gone through. She is a REAL character. Of course, there are unsavory hooligans as well, and they too are written extremely realistically. Speaking of characters, shout out to two of my favorites: Candy, a sweetheart of a dog 🐶...and Hobart, a cab driver with a heart of gold! 🚕
Detective Jayme was on the case with me as we buddy read this, and we were able to to find some clues, but there were plenty more surprises in store. 🕵️♂️🕵️♀️
Mark my words: This is not the last time we will be hearing about Hendricks. I predict that this will be a huge and worthy hit, so make sure you pick up a copy when it’s published on: 5/11/21.
Thank you to Scarlet and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
