Another audiobook for me - listening in the car and while I am doing my chores is so convenient. Still Missing was recommended to me along with Room and I'd Know You Anywhere (which I haven't gotten to yet, but have waiting). It's another kidnapping story, told in the form of the victim's counseling sessions as she tries to cope with what's happened to her.Annie is a Canadian real estate agent with a content, if not boring, life. She's got a great boyfriend and a successful business. She's got a wonderful dog, Emma, and she's got the home of her dreams.
Enter "the freak". The seemingly decent man who abducts her from an open house, takes her to a cabin in the mountains, and among other abuses rapes her nearly every night for almost a year.
I won't spoil the main plot points, and I won't tell you how she goes from hostage to therapy patient, but this is a really complex story with all sorts of crazy drama that unfolds at the very end. We're talking TWISTS, people.
I enjoyed this book. I gave it four stars. I'm getting rather irritated, though, because I bought Michael J. Fox's audiobook - Lucky Man, and it didn't download properly. So now I am struggling to get it fixed in order to listen past the 20 minute mark. D'oh!
Anyway, Still Missing was good. Worthwhile.
