Description

From bestselling author Natalie Barelli comes a dark psychological thriller about a cold case, the newspaper investigating it, and the woman for whom it all hits a little too close to home…

Millions are searching for the truth. Only she knows it's all a lie.

Rachel Holloway has built a quiet life in London. She has a daughter, a partner, and a steady job at the local paper. Then the paper launches a true-crime podcast, and their first case is the disappearance of twelve-year-old Molly Forster, missing since her family's brutal murder twelve years ago.

But Rachel knows exactly what happened to Molly. Because Rachel is Molly. She's spent years hiding from the killer who destroyed her family, and now her own podcast is about to expose her and the truth she's buried.

As the story goes viral, new evidence emerges that confirms what Rachel has known all along: The wrong man was convicted. 

The real killer is still free.

And he's coming for Rachel.

Missing Molly is the kind of thriller that refuses to let you put it down. Molly has rebuilt her life under a new identity as Rachel — a journalist at the very newspaper now launching a podcast to find her. The premise alone is brilliantly tense, and the execution delivers.
The pacing is tight, the dual identity twist keeps you on edge, and the stakes feel deeply personal throughout. Rachel/Molly is a protagonist you root for completely as she hides in plain sight while quietly fighting for justice.
Highly recommend for any fan of psychological thrillers. I still have the ending to go and I’m already giving it five stars.

Wow what a great read this was. Missing Molly completely pulled me in from the very beginning and kept me hooked the whole way through. I love a psychological thriller that has me on the edge of my seat, unable to stop reading even into the early hours of the morning, and this book delivered exactly that. It was gripping, tense, and packed with suspense, with twists that kept me desperate to know what would happen next. This was my first book by Natalie Barelli and it definitely won’t be my last. She created such an addictive story and I flew through it. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this great book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

INCREDIBLE!

You don’t often get a front-row seat to someone solving their own murder, and that unique perspective had me completely hooked from the very first page.

This story is packed with corruption, shocking secrets, and twists that keep coming. It explores just how far people are willing to go to protect themselves—and the ones they love. Every chapter pulled me in deeper, and I couldn’t wait to uncover the truth.

Fast-paced, suspenseful, and brilliantly executed, this is a thriller that kept me guessing until the very end.

A well-deserved 5 stars! If you love clever mysteries with unforgettable storytelling
