Missing White Woman: 08/13/24

Missing White Woman by Kellye Garrett is about a romantic weekend to New York going horribly wrong. Breanna's new boyfriend planned everything and all she has to do is let herself in to the AirBnB he's rented. Things start to go wrong when the code doesn't work.

Now I'm going to be upfront and say by the close of the first chapter I had a pretty good idea how things were going to unfold. Even with knowing the big picture it was still a rollercoaster ride. Breanna has gotten herself into the middle of something that threatens to destroy her life, or worse, take her life.

The day Breanna arrives her mother sends her a text about a white woman who has gone missing near her. She's understandably concerned for her daughter's safety. White women don't go missing and when they do, Black people get blamed even though they rarely have anything to do with it.

On the romantic front, things aren't what Breanna expected either. Ty keeps getting called into phone meetings. He doesn't have the time for her and he's losing his temper. Already, this should have been enough for Breanna to book it, but she trusts Ty and decides to stick it out.

The day she expects to finally be spending with Ty she instead finds a dead white woman at the bottom of the stairs in the AirBnB. Ty is missing and Breanna is now the person of interest. She's also the target of a social media lynch mob.

The mystery part of this book is easy to solve. There just aren't enough characters involved to complicate things. Instead, it's the social media mob thats makes the book a nail-biter.

Five stars
