The Missing Half

by Ashley Flowers

First published 2025

Nicole Monroe lives in a cramped Mishawaka apartment, stuck in the same job since high school. Seven years ago, her sister Kasey disappeared without explanation. Police found Kasey's car over a hundred miles from home with the door open and her purse still inside. Two weeks before Kasey vanished, Jules Connor from the same area disappeared under identical circumstances. Both cases went cold. Nicole wants to escape the past and the pity that follows her everywhere. Then Jenna Connor, Jules's sister, shows up at Nicole's door. Jenna offers something Nicole hasn't experienced in years: the possibility of answers. The two women join forces to investigate what happened to their sisters. Their search will force them to risk everything they have left in pursuit of the truth about the night two young women drove away and never came home.
