5 New Haunting Thrillers That Center Around a Hunt for Missing Persons

If you’re looking for novels about missing persons cases, look no further: here are five new(ish) release thrillers that hunt people who have disappeared.
Natalie Campbell disappeared twenty-two years ago. Days after, her blood was found in a car, a man was arrested, and everyone moved on. Including her younger sister, Claire. Now, Claire’s father has unexpectedly called her back home, and while she’s languishing in her hometown, she takes a seasonal job at Galloway Farm. It seems like a mini-retreat until she happens upon an old diary that gradually includes details of various cold cases… and Claire thinks her sister’s disappearance could be related.
