The author wisely spends only a minimal amount of page time on the victims' captivity, just enough to give a sense of how horrific their situation is without becoming sensational. The three primary storylines - Kat Donovan searching for Jeff Brandon searching for his mother and Kat trying to reach closure on the murder of her father - are seamlessly interweaved with a series of crimes being committed in remote Pennsylvania. Missing You is a meticulously plotted, nearly flawlessly executed suspense thriller. "I got it off the website." And he hands her a picture of Jeff. "This is the guy my mom went away with," he tells her. It turns out Brandon had hacked the online dating site his mother used to meet her current boyfriend, and came across Kat's message to Jeff. But what puzzles her more is a message she receives from Brandon Phelps, a teenager who contacts her about his missing mother.
Frustrated that she gave in to an urge to even contact him, she's also hurt when he says he wants to move on. Separately, she responds to Jeff's online profile only to receive a non-committal response. She's convinced he was just a fall guy, and the real killer is still out there. He refuses to deny killing her father, but strangely doesn't convincingly admit to it either. Kat decides to visit Monte on his deathbed. The man, Monte Leburne, convicted of murdering her father is dying, a man she never believes committed the crime, and a chance sighting of a profile on an online dating site suggests that Jeff, now a widower, may be open to getting back together, in Missing You, a stand-alone thriller by Harlan Coben. Now, both events have re-entered her life. Review: NYPD detective Kat Donovan has never fully gotten over a period in her life, 18 years ago, when her father was murdered and her engagement to Jeff Raynes fell apart.
