Where are the Children NOW?

 

 Where are the Children NOW? by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke. Simon and Schuster, 2023.  Adult fiction mystery.

Years ago, Mike and Melissa were kidnapped. Their mother, Nancy Harmon, searched desperately to find them. Now they are both grown. Melissa is famous for a podcast involving true crime and is marrying a man with a small child. When that girl goes missing, the whole family is thrown back into  past trauma and must face a new search.

Lots of names in this novel update readers on the characters' pasts. New people are suspect and readers may not guess who is guilty of plotting mayhem against Mellissa and new family.
