About this product
In this heart-pounding thriller and sequel to the Reese Witherspoon book club pick Conviction, Anna and Fin find themselves on another breathtaking chase across Europe—and another race to save their own lives. Deception. Theft. Murder. All you need is confidence. Anna McDonald has made a terrible mistake. She has forced her blended family to vacation together. The weather is bad, her daughters are bored, and her ex-husband still insufferable. Oh, and Fin Cohen brought his latest girlfriend, too. So when news of a shocking kidnapping breaks, Anna and Fin do the responsible thing. They take off to solve the case. Lisa Lee, a young YouTube star, has vanished after answering the door to what she thought was a pizza delivery. Police suspect her dad or the delivery guy, but in Lisa’s last known video she ventured into an abandoned chateau in France, where she uncovered a priceless artifact. Anna knows they must find this young woman before it’s too late. To do so, they need to track down that treasure, a casket that could hold answers to the greatest questions ever asked. But Anna and Fin might have misunderstood the stakes of the game. Soon, they find themselves mixed up with some very dark characters, on another thrilling chase across Europe—and another race to save their own lives. Praise for the national bestseller Conviction : "One of the most talented, most daring, most humane writers of the past twenty years ...

Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

Editor's Take
Confidence by Denise Mina draws strong praise from Goodreads readers and book reviewers for its sharp prose, twisting plot, and dark wit. Goodreads readers describe it as well written, full of the author’s trademark humor, and engaging enough to keep them turning pages.
Amazon-style retailer and Apple Books reviewer comments suggest the book divides readers a bit more than Mina’s strongest work, with some calling it fast-paced and riveting while others found the plot less convincing or overly busy. Crime Fiction Lover praised it as a gripping read, and YouTube reviewers who discussed the novel highlighted its premise, momentum, and genre appeal, while noting that parts of the story felt drawn out to them.
For shoppers who want a smart, twisty crime thriller with Mina’s signature style, Confidence offers clever writing, a darkly comic edge, and a story that builds on the Anna and Fin series. Readers who prefer a leaner, more straightforward mystery may be less persuaded by its more elaborate plotting.
