All the Missing Pieces

Bookseller recommendation

“True crime podcast vibes meet small-town grumpy sunshine in All the Missing Pieces, and let me tell you—it’s the perfect mix of suspense and sizzle! Ridley is all heart and hope, while Colter is the definition of broody, protective goodness. Together, they dive headfirst into a mystery that kept me guessing, with just enough edge-of-your-seat moments to balance the heat between them. What really hooked me was how both Ridley and Colter are dealing with their own traumas. Their emotional baggage feels so real and raw, making their connection that much more rewarding. But the big question is—can they risk opening up their hearts again when the weight of more loss looms over them? Watching them navigate that push and pull of fear versus hope is what truly makes this story shine. The suspense is solid, the romance burns slow before it ignites, and the chemistry? Off the charts. The only reason this isn’t a full 5 stars for me is that I wanted a little more from the resolution of the mystery. Still, it’s an unforgettable read that had my heart racing for all the reasons. If you love small-town settings, swoony-but-damaged heroes, and heroines who just won’t quit, you’re going to adore this one. Catherine Cowles knows how to deliver! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ (4.5 Stars) Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️”
