About this listen

New York City Fashion Executive Peter Delmonico has had a rough life. Physically abused by his father as a child, and mentally abused by his wife as an adult, he sees no choice but to let his inner demons guide him through life. Obsessed with photography for as long as he can remember, he takes a detour one afternoon into NYC’s Bryant Park, where he snaps a photo of a beautiful woman who bumps into him, and then kisses him, only to vanish into the crowd as mysteriously as she appeared. Determined to bring true love into his life, Peter sets out on a journey throughout Manhattan to find her, his only real lead the photo he took of her in his camera.

Missed Connection is an intense erotic thriller filled with twists and turns, a raunchy, funny, sexy, satirical, and somewhat diabolical look at life in Manhattan through the eyes of a damaged man who only wants to love, and be loved.

Critic reviews

“This taut page-turner has a harrowing premise, breakneck first-person narrative, and one hell of a final twist. Thriller Fans: don’t miss MISSED CONNECTION!” —New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub

“Sleek as a bullet and just as deadly, Michael Laimo is in top form. MISSED CONNECTION is not to be missed!”—Ronald Malfi, author of Come With Me and Black Mouth

If you want a book with a likeable main character, this is not the book for you. There wasn't a single character in this book that I liked, except maybe the dog. That being said, I was so unbelievably invested in the plot that I didn't want to stop reading. I couldn't give a sh*t which characters got a happy ending, but I NEEDED to know what happened to them. In Missed Connection, Laimo presents a domestic thriller - complete with murder plots, multiple bodies, and a little romance - told from the perspective of Peter, a frustrated 30-something in a loveless marriage. He's one of those 'good guys' who just can't catch a break, you know the type. He's not a good dude, and it was kind of satisfying to watch his world fall apart, I won't lie to you.

Laimo's writing is quick and witty, and the plot is fast-paced. I didn't know what was going to happen from one moment to the next. This was my first book by this author. It won't be my last.

I listened to this on Audible and thought the narrators did a cracking job at bringing the story to life.
