If I Disappear is most definitely a dramatic thriller. Sera has become obsessed with a podcast called Murder, She Spoke. This isn’t a light obsession, but rather an all consuming one. When Rachel, the podcaster, goes silent, Sera is convinced that it is up to her to find out what happened. She travels to the ranch where Rachel and her family live. She manages to get a job on the ranch and integrates herself into the life that Rachel lived. While conducting her investigation she learns that things are not always as they appear.

The story line of this book is very good. It actually borders close to being a horror story. I did have some trouble with the narration. I found it difficult to follow at times. I also have to say that I didn’t like Sera’s character. I am sure there is at least one, if not more, mental diagnoses to be found without digging too deep.

The suspense in the book is very well done and builds throughout the story. The ending is unexpected and a bit creepy. There are several characters that are more than a little weird that adds to the story. I also thought the author did a great job incorporating the podcast into the story itself.

IF I DISAPPEAR does have a lot of profanity and some of it is vulgar. There is violence and some of it is a little graphic. Sex does occur in the story, but it is not detailed. For these reasons, I recommend this book to the adult ready who enjoys a thriller that is a little outside the usual.
