Bel is living a normal life with her father, Charlie Price. When Bel was only about two months old, her mother disappeared. She is now in the midst of filming a documentary about her disappearance.
When Rachel suddenly reappears, after missing for 16 years, Bel is flabbergasted. People thought Rachel had been either kidnapped, had run away, or was even murdered. In her heart Bel did not like Rachel suddenly appearing in their lives like a storm. She did not truly believe Rachel’s story of her disappearance. She wants to know the truth. Will she find it?
The novel depicts justice and inspires many to seek and fight for the truth. It’s also a story about familial relationships, the bond between a mother and a daughter. It left me questioning whether Rachel and Bel’s relationship could ever rebuild again.
I loved reading this book. It captivated me from the first page and left me wanting to know more. It is full of twists and turns where every character becomes a suspect in Rachel’s disappearance.
I would recommend The Reappearance of Rachel Price to anyone who enjoys reading crime fiction with a hint of romance. Holly Jackson has created a masterpiece that is a different style of crime-fiction narrative. I would rate this novel at the highest level because it was truly a delight to read about Rachel’s story and her motherly bond with Bel.
