The Three Beths

fullDescription

From New York Times bestselling writer Jeff Abbott, 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.
My mom would never leave me.
This has been Mariah Dunning's motto. Her compass. Her belief. So when she glimpses her mother—who's been missing for the past year—on the other side of a crowded food court, Mariah's conviction becomes stronger than ever. Or is she losing her mind?
An unlikely coincidence?
When Beth Dunning disappeared without a trace, suspicion for her murder-despite the lack of a body or any physical evidence-immediately fell upon Mariah's father. Until Mariah stumbles upon two other recent disappearances from Lakehaven. And all three women had the same name: Beth.
Or a sinister connection?
Mariah would give anything to find out what happened to her mother, and clear her father's name. But the truth may be more devastating than she could have imagined...
Jeff Abbott once again proves why he's "one of the best thriller writers in the business" (Associated Press) with this twisty new novel.
"I could not tear myself away from Jeff Abbott's mesmerizing, gripping, and claustrophobic novel. Blame is the perfect blend of complex characters, plot twists galore, and great psychological suspense. Don't miss it." — Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on Blame
"Jeff Abbott is a remarkable writer and storyteller, and brings his skills to the realm of psychological suspense with this absolutely captivating book. Emotionally compelling, tense and packed with shocking plot twists, this book makes me have to use a word I hate: Unputdownable. I loved it." — Alison Gaylin, USA Today bestselling author, on Blame
"Blame is a masterful suspense novel, full of dread, lies, and deceptions. Abbott is one of our finest writers, and Blame takes his talents to new levels. Sinister and twisting, this is hands-down the best book you'll read—and re-read—this year. Absolutely top-notch." — J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author, on Blame

     September 17, 2018
     A year after Beth Dunning disappeared from Lakehaven, Tex., in this gripping if flawed standalone from Thriller Award–winner Abbott (Blame), the primary suspect in the case remains Beth’s husband, who’s regularly harassed by the Lakehaven police chief and shunned by friends and neighbors. When Beth’s grown daughter, Mariah, catches a glimpse of Beth at a local mall, Mariah sets out to find her mother and absolve her father of blame. Aided by a former high school classmate and true-crime blogger, Mariah follows a tenuous link to a second woman with a similar first name: Bethany Curtis, the estranged wife of a tech millionaire, who went missing shortly before Beth did. In her painstaking pursuit of Bethany, Mariah stumbles into a family’s twisted web of blackmail, envy, and lies. The answer to the women’s disappearances seems to lie with a third “Beth,” the elusive Lizbeth, who vanished along with Bethany. Only the heavy-handed conclusion mars this high-voltage psychological thriller. Readers will be riveted until then. Five-city author tour. Agent: Peter Ginsberg, Curtis Brown, Ltd.

On finding out that her mother is one of three women of the same name to have vanished, Mariah takes her investigation into dangerous territory. Narrator Ellen Archer enlivens the story's characters, especially the confused Mariah and her father, who is suspected by many of murder. Archer's portrayals, especially her depiction of Ellen's father, help keep listeners guessing as to whether or not this is a case of murder. Her perfect timing allows the tension to build through the various twists in this psychological thriller. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

     Three-time Edgar Award nominee Abbott (The Last Minute) returns, with this latest novel centered on three women--Bethany, Beth, and Lizbeth--all literally "gone girls," either missing or murdered. As Mariah Dunning, Beth's daughter, works to clear her father, the prime suspect in her mother's suspected murder, she's convinced she just saw Beth in a mall, though the woman in question flees and can't be found. When a crime blogger ties Beth to the missing Bethany, Mariah wonders why the latter woman would disappear when husband Jake is about to make a fortune selling software. Bethany's mother accuses Jake of murder, but why did her own husband commit suicide? As connections among the three Beths are revealed, the count of potential villains mounts, and other crimes from embezzlement to a hit-and-run killing complicate matters in a dizzying crescendo of sinister events. VERDICT Abbott is a master of misdirection, though multiple red herrings and ever-tightening entanglements lead to a conclusion that some might find confusing. Still, the suspenseful plot with its numerous twists will appeal to readers of Harlan Coben or Gillian Flynn. [See Prepub Alert, 1/22/18.]--Ron Terpening, formerly of Univ. of Arizona, Tucson

     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. At some point in the story a third Beth is introduced, but to say more than that about the plot would be a disservice to the author. This is a tricky novel. Like a stage magician, Abbott often seems to be doing one thing when he's actually doing something else, and when we realize what he's been up to, we can't help but shake our heads in admiration. Abbott has a solid track record. His Sam Capra series has garnered well-deserved acclaim, and his stand-alones, including last year's Blame, have been consistently strong. The Three Beths continues his run as a thriller writer who can be counted on to deliver page-turning suspense.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
