Publisher's summary

From the critically acclaimed author of Invisible City and Conviction, The Missing Hours is a novel about obsession, privilege, and the explosive consequences of one violent act.

From a distance, Claudia Castro has it all: a famous family, a trust fund, thousands of Instagram followers, and a spot in NYU’s freshman class. But look closer, and things are messier: Her parents are separating, she’s just been humiliated by a sleazy documentary, and her sister is about to have a baby with a man she barely knows.

Claudia starts the school year resolved to find a path toward something positive, maybe even meaningful - and then one drunken night everything changes. Reeling, her memory hazy, Claudia cuts herself off from her family, seeking solace in a new friendship. But when the rest of school comes back from spring break, Claudia is missing.

Suddenly, the whole city is trying to piece together the hours of that terrible night.

Critic reviews

The Missing Hours is not only a dark and well-paced thriller, but also a thoughtful exploration of the meaning of vengeance, survival, and justice.” (Alafair Burke)

"Fast-paced and fierce, The Missing Hours is the gripping story of one woman’s struggle to determine what she can live with—and what she’ll never stop fighting for.” (Elizabeth Little)

"The Missing Hours is propulsive storytelling at its best. With complex characters and a deft understanding of social dynamics, the novel also captures, in a powerful and nuanced way, the rich and complicated now. Highly recommended." (Lou Berney)

Highly Engaging + Wonderful Narration

I listened to this almost non-stop. Time to explore what else Julia and Taylor have done.

Not impressed

I really enjoyed her other books but I regret purchasing this audiobook. Not a fan of the narrator either
