Summary
In this chilling thriller from the bestselling authors of Spare Room， one woman just wants the truth about who she really is。 But she’s not the only one looking…
It’s twenty years since Eva， a biracial woman， was adopted as an eight-year-old， and Cherry and Carlton ‘Sugar’ McNeil have always been the only parents she’s wanted or needed。 But when she’s dealt the double blow of Cherry’s death and her own suspension from work， Eva decides it’s time to discover who she was before she was theirs。
Against Sugar’s advice， Eva joins a DNA database， desperate for a match that will unlock her identity。 And when a positive hit comes， she’s excited to learn there are relations out there who might hold the key。 But the closer Eva gets to uncovering her past， the more it appears someone is trying to stop her finally finding the truth…
As she continues to dig， Eva is drawn into a dark and merciless underside to society， where black women disappear without a word。 Names erased from history， no search parties， no desperate pleas for their return。 Once， someone tried to save Eva from all this。 Someone wanted a better life for her。 But now that she’s torn down the facade of her life， has she come too far to be spared again？

I'm unfamiliar with Dreda Say Mitchell and Ryan Carter， but the synopsis of Say Her Name， along with an endorsement by one of my favorite authors in Lee Child， was enough to have me try this。 I won't delve too deeply into plot details because I don't want to spoil anything。 While dealing with the death of her adoptive mother Cherry， main character Eva engages in a search to track down her biological parents。 This eventually ends up tying into the unsolved disappearance of several women thirty ye I'm unfamiliar with Dreda Say Mitchell and Ryan Carter， but the synopsis of Say Her Name， along with an endorsement by one of my favorite authors in Lee Child， was enough to have me try this。 I won't delve too deeply into plot details because I don't want to spoil anything。 While dealing with the death of her adoptive mother Cherry， main character Eva engages in a search to track down her biological parents。 This eventually ends up tying into the unsolved disappearance of several women thirty years earlier。What you have here is an extremely well written and enthralling story。 It's an intriguing thriller that also describes some uncomfortable truths about the world we live in。 The characters， especially Eva， are wonderfully authentic - you can't help but feel what she feels no matter your gender or race。 I can't remember the last time I sat down and read a book cover to cover in one sitting like I did with this one。 One of the best books I've read in a long time and I'll be looking for more from these authors。 。。。more
