Description

For fans of Gone Girl and of Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay’s domestic suspense—a gripping novel by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kevin O'Brien, in which “the other woman” becomes the prime suspect when the wife goes missing.

Some nightmares you can’t forget

From the depths of sleep, Seattle TV reporter Anna Malone awakens to her phone ringing. She rarely drinks, and this hangover is brutal. Why can’t she shake the feeling that something terrible happened last night? And why can’t she recall any of it?
 
But even worse
What Anna does remember: an awkward restaurant meal with her married lover, Russ Knoll, and his unsuspecting wife, Courtney. Russ’s phone call reveals that Courtney is missing, and as days go by with no trace, he comes under police scrutiny. Anna’s in the spotlight too, thanks to a TV rival with a grudge. Anna’s not proud of her affair, but she and Russ aren’t bad people. They’re certainly not the killing kind.
 
Is the one you can’t remember . . .
Anna already suspected that Courtney—a successful, charming author—might have a darker side. Is she truly missing? Perhaps the sudden disturbances in Anna’s life aren’t accidental after all. But no scenario that Anna imagines can compare to the twisted game unfolding around her, one chilling piece at a time . . .

    I’ve read many of his books. I scanned through most of this one. Unrealistic drama.
  • Good but not great.

    This book was not horrible. At the same time I didn’t think it’s up to par with the majority of his other books. Didn’t have enough action or suspense. I also didn’t really like Ann that much. The motive behind all of this was a bit ridiculous and stupid. I do love his writing and I’m hoping he keeps the books coming. Kevin, just please go back to suspenseful and action packed like before.
