The Missing Half
Published on: May 5, 2025
The Missing Half by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ashley Flowers is a chilling and emotionally gripping mystery about loss, sisterhood, and the lengths we go for answers. Fans of All Good People Here and true crime will be instantly drawn into this layered, suspense-filled journey.
At twenty-four, Nicole “Nic” Monroe is stuck—emotionally and in life. Living alone in her small hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, working a dead-end job, and reeling from a recent DWI, Nic has never truly recovered from her sister Kasey’s disappearance seven years ago. Kasey vanished without a trace, her car abandoned over a hundred miles from home, with her purse left untouched—leaving nothing behind but questions.
But Kasey wasn’t the first girl to go missing. Just two weeks earlier, Jules Connor disappeared in the same mysterious way. When the police gave up and both cases went cold, the grief of their families hardened into silence—until now.
Everything changes when Jules’s sister, Jenna, walks into Nic’s life, bringing with her a spark of long-lost hope. Together, the two women join forces to uncover the truth behind their sisters’ disappearances. But as secrets unravel, Nic and Jenna discover that some answers come at a devastating cost.
The Missing Half is a story of shared trauma, unexpected friendship, and the unrelenting pursuit of justice. With tight plotting, emotional depth, and a haunting mystery at its core, this novel is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers, cold case crime fiction, and emotionally charged suspense.
