The Missing Hour

*DNA*

This book was compelling from beginning to end. I could sense and feel the trepidation of the main character, Maggie, as she grappled with her inability to find a way out or trust anyone.

I went into this book blind, and the theme of DNA was a recurring element. While the plot sounded a bit far-fetched, my mind kept wondering about the what ifs and hows…

The story begins with Maggie and her husband, Grant, being rudely awakened in bed by police storming their home and charging Grant with murder. Grant refuses to cooperate, and the police resort to brutal tactics in their attempt to arrest him. A stunned Maggie watches in disbelief as they drag him away. Grant is an investigative reporter, while Maggie reports on showbiz for the same newspaper.

Little does she know that this will be the last time she sees Grant alive.

Maggie is shocked when she discovers that her husband supposed to be a killer. The police claim to have his DNA as proof, but Maggie can’t shake the feeling that something doesn’t add up.

Determined to prove them wrong, Maggie embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth. However, she has a secret: there’s one missing hour that she can’t account for Grant’s whereabouts. If only that was her biggest worry.

As Maggie delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a web of secrets that could destroy the reputation of a company working on seemingly impossible DNA experiments. Anyone who crosses their path is silenced. This company has a massive reach across organisations and law enforcement, and soon Maggie becomes the one being hunted. Everyone in her life becomes a target, and some are even killed. They have her DNA How can this be? It’s definitely not a bedtime story.
