A psychologically intense and emotionally gripping new suspense novel about a daughter's desperate search for her missing mother—one that may lead her closer to home than she ever anticipated.
You know a writer has talent when he or she can take a rather debatable premise—a woman becomes convinced her mother’s disappearance has something to do with another woman’s disappearance because both are named Beth—and turn it into a seriously spellbinding thriller .... Abbott has a solid track record... and The Three Beths continues his run as a thriller writer who can be counted on to deliver page-turning suspense.
Few writers have shown the kind of versatility that Jeff Abbott has displayed in recent years, seamlessly transitioning between Brad Thor-like action-thrillers to psychological and suspense thrillers. It’s hard to say that The Three Beths tops last year’s Blame, but it’s certainly right up there, and Abbott’s turning, nail-biting plot will surely please even the pickiest of readers. Two years, two earth-shattering twist endings, and Abbott has knocked them both out of the park. If you thought the ending to Blame was shocking, prepare to be blown away with the conclusion to The Three Beths, the latest must-read thriller from Jeff Abbott, who remains at the very top of his game.
Many novels have been described as 'rollercoaster rides,' but The Three Beths is a ride and a half. As slowly and inexorably as those cars creeping up that steep incline, the mystery mounts, clues piling atop each other, tension becoming more taut with every movement. It seems the pinnacle, that dénouement, will never be reached, and when it is, the downward rush is both a relief as well as a shock. Some may argue Craig’s pursuit of his tormenter is a red herring; be that as it may, as a way of adding more tension, it works.
