Review: One Year Gone - Avery Bishop

Review: One Year Gone - Avery Bishop - August 2021

One of my favourite things about being a book reviewer is that we get the chance to read books before they are out in the public's view and I was in the mood for a bit of an edgy mystery read after reading a handful of chick-lit/ romances lately. One Year Gone by Avery Bishop isn't one of those happy-go-lucky mystery reads that end in sunshine and roses, so if you pick this one up expecting a happy reunion at the end - then put it back down. One Year Gone is a rocky road type of reading which will have you feeling like you just jumped on a rollercoaster filled with twists and turns and loopy-loos. The book starts with Jess receiving text messages one night from her daughter asking for help. This would have been an ordinary night but for Jess - this is the first time she has heard from her daughter in one year. A year ago, her daughter Bronwyn vanished into thin air and no-one has heard or seen her since. The texts claim that she has been kidnapped by someone in law enforcement. As the book goes along, Jess doesn't know who to trust which as the story progresses and comes to an end we can see why and the ending of this book shocked the heck out of me. I didn't see this ending coming at all as secrets and lies all unravelled. The story is told in multiple POVs from Jess and Bronwyn's - before the incident and after the incident. This was the first book I had read from Avery Bishop, so I am looking forward to checking out her other title "Girl Gone Mad". If readers are looking for a good edgy NA thriller that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat, then One Year Gone by Avery Bishop is the book for you. One Year Gone by Avery Bishop is going into my knowledge bank for one of those books as one of the best OMFG endings.
