James Stack/Netflix
Eighth adaptation on Netflix of the novels by the American writer, Missing You is a remarkably performed series in which the author's genius shines.
In 2018, the bestselling American author Harlan Coben signed a contract with Netflix for the adaptation into series or films of fourteen of his novels. I miss you (Missing You) is already the eighth.
Supervised by the writer, faithful to the 2014 work, if not the transposition of the plot from New York to Manchester, it tells the story of Inspector Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar, seen in the excellent Slow Horses ), whose fiancé disappeared eleven years earlier when she had just lost her father, murdered by a hitman.

The crux of the mystery
A strange confession from the murderer violently raises new questions. She misses the man in her life. He misses his father. He misses his carefreeness. However, what she is about to discover could well upset her even more.
In this remarkably performed series, we sense the crux of the mystery from the start. It would be forgetting Coben's genius to blur the lines, to dig as many subplots as there are characters and to lose readers (and viewers) in the convolutions specific to his work, only to find them better at the end.
