“It’s my wife. She’s gone missing…”

#FindHannah

A gripping summer thriller, full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. If you liked Gone Girl, you will love Under Your Skin

When Kyle’s wife Hannah disappears, the whole town is out in force to try to find her. One person knows where she is. One person is keeping a secret. 

Detective Inspector Simon Peters and Detective Kerry Lawlor have been brought in to investigate the case, but Hannah has left no traces and Kyle has no clues. 

Local Belfast resident Julia Matthews joins the #FindHannah campaign and becomes friendly with Kyle, sympathising with his tragedy. As Julia becomes more involved in the case than she bargained for, she begins to uncover more secrets than the Police ever could. Julia was only trying to help, but has she become drawn into a web of mystery that she cannot escape?

Featured Reviews

Under Your Skin is author Rose McClelland's debut into the psychological thriller genre having previously written three romantic fiction books...
I must say I really enjoyed this authors writing...
It is dark, unnerving and so completely disturbing in its telling....
I found I was reading this story almost with the hairs on the back of my neck standing...
You certainly do feel the tension coming off the pages..
I'm a huge fan of telling a story from different viewpoints so I loved that aspect throughout.
You always get such a great insight into a story when it is done this way.
We meet Kyle Greer and his wife Hannah is this one..
Hannah has disappeared and it all seems to be pointing in the direction of her husband...
An intense built up to finding out what has happened to Hannah....
The sideline story with her character Julie, I found to be believable but unbelievable all at the same time.
It goes to show you how disturbing a person can be.
Author Rose McClelland wrote about such a huge, heartbreaking topic in our society and she handled it with such care, knowledge and with a great sensitivity.
I thoroughly enjoyed her work and I do feel it is well worth your time 💕

Kyle's wife, Hannah, is missing and no one knows what has happened to her. Is she dead, kidnapped, alive? The police aren't sure. Of course the people closest to the victim is always a person of interest. In this case her husband. As the case is investigated further they find that there were visits to the hospital and to a woman's shelter by Hannah. Every time Kyle fou d her and convinced her that he had changed and she'd go back home with him. This time he can't locate her this the missing person's report. Even through the search Kyle is acting oddly. He has befriended Juliet and has even asked her to coffee and dinner. Not the normal behavior of a husband concerned about his missing wife. Juliet has seen some abnormal behavior from Kyle something' that raise some red flags. Or are there she isn't sure. Should she tell someone or not?
This book will keep you on your toes!

I received in advance for you just copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow – this book was a bit of a slow burn but the drama heats up and that last half is a crazy crash until it finally goes off the rails. These people are scary, and not in the horror movie sense of the word. This will definitely have you sleeping with one eye open.

What a delight! The truth is that I almost passed on requesting this book. Sure glad I gave it a try!

Hannah is Kyle's wife. At this point, she had been missing for 2 days. (Although Kyle initially tried to call the police at 12 hours).

The police case begins for missing Hannah; DI Simon Peters and DC Kerry Lawlor visit Kyle, first..

Hannah is in a basement somewhere. - but her pills and books somehow make it bearable. Also, she is quite happy to not have to "play at life". She has time to reminisce. Yet, now she additionally has time to think about how Kyle insists that she is depressed...

Julia, in therapy, needs to get out more. She joins the search party for Hannah It is then she meets Kyle...

The police now are procuring a search warrant to look deeply into Kyle's home. Just in case...

HIGHLY Recommend! A MUST Read!!!

Many Thanks to Cameron Publicity and NetGalley for a fast, great read.

Karma has a way of always catching up with you!

Kyle’s wife Hannah goes missing, she simply didn’t come home from work. The police tell him to call back in another 12 hours if she’s still not back. Hannah is nowhere to be found.

The police and public begin to look for her and start the #findhannah movement. But someone knows where she is and it’s a secret. Kyle befriends Julia a kind lady helping search for his wife.

The police search high and low but there are no traces of Hannah she’s simply gone. Kyle starts to becomes a person of interest however Kyle’s interest have moved from finding his wife Hannah’s to Julia! But Julia soon realises that she’s got more than she bargained for.

Great mystery page turner. I didn’t see a few things coming. I did love the ending! This book does have trigger warning for emotional and physical abuse.

I REALLY loved the premise of this book.

Kyle comes home to find his wife missing. He calls 999 (British 911) to report her missing, but the investigation lags. He starts a campaign #FindHannah, and organizes searches for her throughout the woods.

Meanwhile, Hannah’s in a basement, numbed with drugs and reading paperbacks to pass the time. If she wasn’t numb, she’d be terrified.

Kerry is a rookie cop, investigating Hannah’s disappearance.

Kate and Guy are a couple living a mostly happy domestic life.

And Julia is a young woman with low self-esteem, out to help others, when she ends up joining the #FindHannah search.

This book kept me SO riveted. The characters were well-developed and interesting, and the writing was quick and smooth.

My only disappointment was the ending! I felt a little let down.

Overall, though, I’m happy to recommend this to my thriller-loving friends.

Thanks to NetGalley and darkstroke publishers for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A great thriller. But a mystery/ thriller almost. The work will keep you guessing and will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat till the end.

This dark and gripping domestic drama held me captive to the end. It’s a disturbing, unsettling portrayal of a toxic marriage and domestic abuse which raises the question, how well does anyone know anyone? An engrossing read.

This is my first book by this author, so I didn't know her style of writing.
It was kinda short but cleverly written story. The idea of the story it's not something new and it's okay, but the way it's written chapter to chapter it's wat make it interesting that makes you unable to put it down.

Hannah goes missing & husband is the number one suspect, of course. At first, you think he’s a decent guy but nothing is wat it's seems.
Tense and dark read but it's more than a thriller, it's rollercoaster of emotions because you looking to the domestic abuse from the microscope.

Thank you Netgalley, author/ publisher for providing me with this ARC for my honest review.
