I revived an advance copy of, Search for Her, by Rick Mofina.  I really liked this book. So many secrets people are hiding. Where is Riley?  Such a good thriller.

The pages turn themselves in Search For Her.  

Riley  14, has gone missing from a truck station.  

The police are brought in right away.

Riley is from a blended family : her Mom Claire, her stepdad John and stepbrother Blake are devastated and frantic.

Each of them has their own secret.  Secrets have a way of coming back to haunt you.  At least these type of secrets will.

The search is thorough and the anticipation is there in every page.   

What happened to Riley and who can you actually trust.

Getting to read a new Rick Mofina book is like a birthday present.  I love all his books and Search for Her is no exception.  

Thanks to NetGalley and Joffe Books, Mystery and Thrillers for a fantastic read!

3 stars
Interesting book but formatted strangely. It is written like a newspaper article where the story is told to you instead of allowing the story to unfold.

Loved it!! Rick Mofina is one of my favorite authors and I always get excited when he has a new book out. This one definitely didn't disappoint. Great mystery/thriller. I enjoyed that what actually happened to Riley wasn't revealed until almost the end of the book, which kept me constantly guessing. There were so many people who could have been behind her disappearance, including her family. All of them were keeping secrets. Teenage girls can be little demons and Riley was no exception. She had an attitude, was glued to her phone and was in a bad mood because her family was moving across the country and her mom made her break up with her older boyfriend. I can understand why Grace let Riley stay in the RV, nobody wanted to deal with a mood, sulky fourteen year old. It wasn't until the second shoe was found that I had a sneaky suspicion of who had to be behind everything. I just couldn't figure out why. After finishing the book, I'm going with CRAZY. There were so many twists and turns. The book kept me in suspense until the very end. I didn't want to put it down, because I couldn't wait to find out what really happened to Riley.

Definitely recommend it. It was a great mystery and thriller. I look forward to reading more books by the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Joffe Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Thank you Netgalley and Rick Mofina for a copy of this title. 
Wow! I loved the ease of how this was written. The jumping of each chapter to each part of this story was easy to follow and flowed just perfectly. I would have to say the only thing I found rushed and messy was the last chapter. It felt like someone said "You only have a few pages left Rick, lets wrap it up".
I have to wrap it up now as I have to go and read all Rick's previous books. I have too!
Thank you

Wow, this book caught me by surprise. I had not heard of it, but loved the cover & the premise intrigued me. This story comes to life in the first few pages and is INSTANT action. You’re immediately drawn into the drama and trying to puzzle out what could have happened. The book is extremely authentic, reading like you might expect a true crime piece and covering every angle of the investigation and each lead they encounter. However, this means there are  a TON of characters and it gets difficult to keep track of whos who. With so many characters, you never really get drawn in to love any particular character as you really stay on the surface of each until it draws nearer to the end of the book. By the time you finally start to get in to understand the characters, you don’t want to hear it and want to skip right to the action! With a story so quick paced, you’re left guessing right up to the end of where the girl could be and what the truth is behind the family. 

Pros:
-quick pace
-leaves you guessing til the very end
-clean ending that ties up every question
-authentic feel like true crime

Cons:
-so many characters to keep track of

.I always find Rick Mofina’s books so good with many twists and turns. However, Search for Her was a pleasant read that kept me engaged but was not among my favorites. I found it hard to engage with the characters and the plot was slow in parts. Rick will always be an automatic buy for me but this one was just okay for me.

Thanks to Joffe Books for the advanced reader copy.

This plot is basically a huge clusterf..., but the idea is OK. The language and the characters are also good, but what I don't like are a lot of descriptions and dialogue that really aren't relevant to the story.

I think this may be my first book by Rick Mofina.  

There was a ton of authenticity about the writing.  After reading, I read a little about Mofina and the authenticity makes sense – he writes from his experience in the field and it shows.

The book is mostly a heartstopper.  I was so concerned about our girl, heartbroken for her family, and highly suspicious of everyone!   The book moves so quickly, but actually spans very few days.  So much happens!

I’ll confess that the author’s style did take me a little to get used to.   It’s here that we see the author’s journalistic style.   I did eventually warm to his style and thought it worked well to tell the story.

I’ll read the author again.  The book has a mix of heart and the truth that everyone has secrets.

I liked it.

Grace Jarrett has a new blended family that consists of her biological daughter Riley, 14,  her new husband of two years John Marshall and John's 17 year old son Blake. They are relocating from San Diego to Pittsburg because John is starting a new job and they decide to go by RV across the country to spend time as a family. Not everyone is happy about the decision to move, Riley is angry at her mother that her whole life is being uprooted, she is missing her friends and doesn't like the fact that she had to break up with her boyfriend Caleb. After an argument with her parents Riley stomps off to take a nap in the bedroom on the RV. The family stops at the Silver Sagebrush, a huge truck stop complex in Nevada to buy supplies and they exit the RV with riley still sleeping in the back. After returning Grace asks her son to check on Riley and he says she is still sleeping so the family continues on their journey. After a few miles Grace decides to check on her daughter and finds that she is not there, Blake had lied about checking on her and they realize that she must have been left behind at the truck stop so John turns the RV around to go back and look for Riley while Grace gets on the phone to call ahead to start the search. As they race back they are in an accident and flip the RV so when police arrive they are confronted with the frantic family. Back at the Sagebrush there is no sign of Riley and she officially becomes a missing person.  As police search for what really happened to Riley the family is forced to deal with past tragedies as well as the secrets that they are all keeping.

This was a fast paced, high adrenaline read where you can really feel the families sense of urgency throughout the book. There are enough twist and turns to keep it interesting and the story is full tension and family drama. I highly recommend this book to all fans of Rick Mofina as it does not disappoint. A great read.

After fighting with her mother, Riley Jarrett goes missing on a cross-country road trip. Wracked with guilt, her family try to come to terms with her disappearance, even as situations come to light which may implicate all of them. Everyone is hiding something, but who can be trusted?

This is a very very good book. I'm a fan of Rick Mofina anyway and have read his Jason Wade & Tom Reed series, so eagerly picked this book up and wasn't disappointed! The characters are all well-written and feel believable and the plot rattles on at a breakneck speed.

You can always rely on Rick Mofina to come up with a spellbinding page turner.
 14 year old Riley has gone missing at one of the biggest truck stops in the US. At first sight her family seem to be a solid, caring unit but each one is keeping secrets from the others. Does one of those secrets concern the whereabouts of Riley.
Not a book to read if you have an early start the next day. You might just find yourself still buried in the story when your alarm goes off the next morning.

This was an excellent book! Very well written and you could feel each person’s emotions as you read their parts. It was full of twists and turns that kept you guessing up until the very end. I loved the epilogue too! I’m going to read more books by this author!

SEARCH FOR HER....Rick Mofina
Riley was Grace’s fourteen year old daughter. Blake was John’s seventeen year old son. They were moving from San Diego, to Pittsburg. Crossing into Nevada getting out to stretch there legs, letting Riley sleep, Blake checked on her, and said she was still sleeping. Finding now he lied, she was gone. Paging and looking at the security cameras at the Sagebrush truck stop didn’t show her, then to find cameras were mostly live streaming and no back up.  A nightmare has begun of where is Riley,
To find people you thought were your friends, even those close to you, do you really know them. Lives were shattered from the untruths that were now being revealed. As they hunt for leads to where Riley maybe at.  Another gripping filled plot of emotions and how it could be so true
Given ARC for Joffe for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
