Watch Me Disappear

4 stars
Watch Me Disappear was GPL’s Well Red book club’s pick for June. Mystery/thrillers are my favorite genre, so I was excited to read this and have a chance to discuss it. The plot centers on wife and mother, Billie Flanagan, who one days goes for a hike and disappears. A hiking boot is found and nearly everyone assumes Billie is dead. A year later, her 15 year old daughter, Olive, begins to have visions that her mother is alive and begs her father to help her search for Billie. Jonathan is in the process of writing a loving memoir about his life with Billie when he finds some information on Billie’s computer. Perhaps Billie’s life is not what it seemed. As the story continues more revelations about Billie’s past and present are revealed. Where is Billie and was her disappearance something that she orchestrated? Or was she kidnapped? Or did she fall and was killed like everyone originally believed? Brown does an excellent job moving the plot alone and writing some great twists. I will definitely check out more of her books!
