An Abduction in Hindsight

It's pretty much a given that a book about an abduction is going to be exciting. What does the abductor want? Will the authorities crack the case in time? One question that is never asked, though, is how the rescued abductee will recover from what has to be one of the worst ordeals you can go through. Until Still Missing by Chevy Stevens, a new thriller that tells the tale of Annie's abduction after she has escaped and gone back to her "normal" life. Told entirely by Annie, in the form of her therapy sessions, this story is gripping and really makes you think. It has touches of a traditional police procedural, mixed with some psychology and a whole lot of thrills.
