Title: The Thinnest Air Pdf

A woman’s disappearance exposes a life of secrets in a twisting novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Memory Watcher.

Meredith Price is the luckiest woman alive. Her husband, Andrew, is a charming and successful financial broker. She has two lovely stepchildren and is living in affluence in a mountain resort town. After three years of marriage, Meredith’s life has become predictable. Until the day she disappears.

Her car has been discovered in a grocery store parking lot—purse and phone undisturbed on the passenger seat, keys in the ignition, no sign of struggle, and no evidence of foul play. It’s as if she vanished into thin air.

It’s not like Meredith to simply abandon her loved ones. And no one in this town would have reason to harm her. When her desperate sister, Greer, arrives, she must face a disturbing question: What if no one really knows Meredith at all? For Greer, finding her sister isn’t going to be easy…because where she’s looking is going to get very, very dark.

Entertaining story, but a bit generic and predictable This tale revolves around a young wealthy housewife who suddenly disappears from a supermarket parking lot and the frantic search that ensues. The story is told in alternating POV's between two characters, the missing woman Meredith and her older sister Greer. Clues to Meredith’s disappearance are dropped like breadcrumbs as each individual shares their story of the events surrounding the mysterious disappearance. The POV narratives time jump, alternating between Meredith’s pre-missing POV and Greer’s post-missing POV. In this story, everyone’s a suspect as numerous secrets are revealed indicating that some of the people who knew Meredith may not be as guilt-free as they appear. The revelations also prove that even those closest to her may not have known as much about Meredith as they believed.The story was solid and entertaining but not groundbreaking enough to really wow me. Many of the twists were too predictable and I correctly figured out what would eventually become the biggest reveal shortly into the story. However, I was most disappointed with the ending. I don’t know if a certain aspect of the ending was left purposely vague but it left me feeling a bit cheated and makes me wonder if a sequel is in the works. Also, there were several plot devices inserted to help boost the sense of mystery but some were orphaned, leaving behind unresolved plot holes. Others were just a bit too unbelievable. Overall, it was an entertaining read but a bit generic. With the sheer number of stories out there about a woman who mysteriously goes missing prompting a close friend or relative to play gumshoe detective, it takes a very special story to set it apart from the pack. This was fun and entertaining but not special. I likely would have rated it four stars if not for the disappointing ending.Are you not enteratined? You should at least get that out of this one. One thing that IS "in thin air" in this review is spoilers, so don't worry about finding any here.This book was pretty good. No Dark Knight (Or the book version of that, whatever that is) and it took a bit to get to the suspense, but at least it existed. Plus, the author tried to add at least SOMETHING in most of the early chapters to keep things interesting and so you'll remember, "Oh yeah, this is suspense, and there's a baddie, and I'm going to figure out what happened with THE INCIDENT." And you probably will; just remember, the journey IS the destination. Especially on road trips.When it comes to adult content, I'd say this is a PG-13. Do NOT judge it by the opening scene, because it opens up with a light sex scene that made it seem like it would be frequent, but even here it was offscreen, as were the other mentions, which were infrequent. Sort of like I-Robot, if that dated reference makes any sense anymore. There are a couple of F-tomic bombs, but considering THE INCIDENT and the situation they were dealing with, a lot of them seem justified, though I know there are readers out there that don't want to be anywhere near that blast radius.POV WARNING! While there isn't much adult content, I can't, in good conscience, continue this review without the following POV Warning: This is written in first person present tense and alternates between two characters. I still don't care much for this style--especially with more than one protagonist getting the I's--but sadly, it seems to be getting more popular and I don't see it going away anytime soon. Unfortunately. However, It only ever goes between the two main characters, and I think it switches every chapter. That makes it predictable, but for me that's in a good way, and better than trying something experimental like switching to THE BIG BAD'S point of view and talking on eggshells not to give them away.The first character, Meredith, is the younger of the two sisters and is your typical naive, pretty girl, but coming from an unusual background made her stand out a little bit. I definitely preferred her chapters over her sister's, as she gave me reason to be empathetic, though she made plenty of stupid choices along the way. But hey, that's life, and we all do dumb things from those old Geico commercials every now and then.Greer, the older sister, took some getting used to. She reminded me of Marcy Long from Fallout 4, so yeah... Not the most likable of people. The author made sure to frequently show that she was intelligent, but that was counteracted by her doing some really stupid things. I've known people like her and they've always rubbed me more like a deep tissue massage than a relaxation massage, and her perspective irritated me at times but it seemed to get better as the story went on. At least the POV changes mean it doesn't follow her the entire time, which made it so I could deal with her at the first until that "Acquired Taste" phenomenon kicked in.As for the plot, there was nothing especially unusual or groundbreaking here, although I did like the way the timeline worked. Meredith's story started a few years in the past and built up to the present, touching up on a few major events that happened over the years. Greer's started at the present and went over each day after the incident, and eventually, Meredith's overlapped so that you could find out what she was up to while Greer's was still a few days in the future. If this sounds kind of confusing like the Flashpoint, it's really not, but I don't want to do the math....Fine. I'll do the math. But NOT in Common Core. Say the present is Day 0. Greer starts at Day 0 and eventually moves to Day 1 and then Day 2 and so on. Meanwhile, Meredith starts at negative 3 years. Then she goes to negative 2 years and 11 months or something, and eventually gets to Day 0 when Greer is on a later day. So Meredith could be on Day 2 while Greer is on like Day 8, and you can see how THE INCIDENT plays out better this way.Besides that, there wasn't anything that really stood out as either especially bad or good. The story was well-told for the most part, and the reveal doesn't completely come out of the secret sewage monster hole in left field. Instead, it's something you can figure out if you're paying attention without missing that single clue about the off-color red of a woman's shoes in Chapter 2 or whatever nonsense a lot of modern-day authors like to try these days to make themselves look clever and trick you.Overall, I'd say this is an entertaining book, and for me, it was a quick read. Still, if you're looking for something safe yet enjoyable, I don't think you'll go wrong by choosing this one.Great escape... This book is fantastic and one of my favourite Kindle Firsts in a long time. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Minka Kent is a talented suspense writer that masterfully weaves a plot full of twists and turns, I binge read it in a morning as I just needed to know what had happened to Meredith...The story is about a young, beautiful woman, Meredith who was raised by her older sister Greer and a bond developed between them that was unbreakable. The two shared everything until Meredith married Andrew, a wealthy, older man, who literally swept her to a glamorous life. Unfortunately, that life was very lonely and led Meredith on a path of lying, secrecy and distrust... until she vanished into thin air...This story moves between the past and present as the mystery of what happened to Meredith builds into a very suspenseful and complicated tale. Nothing and no one is what they seem....I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to escape for a couple hours, a thrilling, intense read which highlights the love of sisters... it kept me swiping and second-guessing every character in ‘The Thinnest Air’.I am a verified purchaser in AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
