Book Review

No One Will Miss Her
by Kat Rosenfield

Category:  Mystery

Average Rating:  4.0

On a beautiful October morning in rural Maine, a homicide investigator from the state police pulls into the hard-luck town of Copper Falls. The local junkyard is burning, and the town pariah Lizzie Oullette is dead -- with her husband, Dwayne, nowhere to be found. As scandal ripples through the community, Detective Ian Bird's inquiries unexpectedly lead him away from small-town Maine to a swank city townhouse several hours south. Adrienne Richards, blonde and fabulous social media influencer and wife of a disgraced billionaire, had been renting Lizzie's tiny lake house as a country getaway...even though Copper Falls is anything but a resort town.

As Adrienne's connection to the case becomes clear, so too does her connection to Lizzie, who narrates their story from beyond the grave. Each woman is desperately lonely in her own way, and they navigate a relationship that cuts across class boundaries: transactional, complicated, and, finally, deadly. A Gone Girl for the gig economy, this is a story of privilege, identity, and cunning, as two devious women from opposite worlds discover the dangers of coveting someone else's life.

This captivating mystery is full of surprises. Although extremely unlikely to actually happen like this, the story is plausible enough to be believable, as are the well-drawn characters. Cassandra Campbell, Sophie Amoss and Chris Andrew Ciulla all deliver outstanding performances that enhance the storytelling. Don't let the synopsis discourage you from giving this audiobook a listen.
