Missing White Woman

The dark, sophisticated new thriller from the award-winning author of Like A Sister. It was supposed to be a romantic getaway to New York City. Breanna’s new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything—the flights, the Broadway tickets, the four-story Jersey City rented rowhouse with the beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But now there’s a recently missing white woman, Jessica Flynn, suddenly dead in the foyer. Ty’s disappeared, the entire Internet is trying to get #Justice4Jessica, and only one person can keep Breanna out of jail: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past.  Exploring ‘Missing White Woman Syndrome’ and traveling while Black, Missing White Woman takes the hallmarks of the ever-popular domestic suspense genre—a beautiful blonde in danger, an upper class enclave, secrets locked behind closed doors—and asks what would happen if you told it from the perspective of a woman who feels she doesn’t belong.PRAISE FOR KELLYE GARRETT:  'Garrett’s prose crackles along at breakneck pace, dissecting issues of race, class, and modern culture with aplomb!' Vaseem Khan 'Suspenseful storytelling at its best.
