Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife, Nina, thinks he is blowing off steam at a friend’s house after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found.
Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and coworker, thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake’s disappearance, especially not Nina. But Nina is out there looking for her husband, and she won’t stop until the truth is discovered.

5By kels3245i think the poor reviews are a little harsh. this book is suspenseful and thrilling, anxiety inducing and well written. I would recommend this over some of her other books i’ve read.Just The Nicest Couple
5By backgateThis book is great talk about suspense I totally thought the wrong one guiltyGood but not great
3By Lainie AmethystI really like this author, but this is not my favorite book by her. It felt long and drawn out and ultimately it is forgettable. I would recommend this author, but not this book to my friends.Slow to develop, overall good story.
3By bpinter23I really enjoyed this book. I have seen other reviews mentioned the pace being a bit slow at first and I can agree. But sticking with it, you uncover the twist at the end. The last few pages had me in my feels, although I’m not sure if I should have been. Good read!So predictable
1By LoveMyThrillersTook excruciatingly long to discover who done it when it was apparent in the first third of the novel.Waste of Time
2By tina simsopWhat a terrible book honestly, a bad read. The twist was not that twisted, and the book hasmd so much filler lack of character development. Feels like a book someone wrote in college. The writing was terrible, I should’ve known from the name of the book. TerribleCaptivating
5By Queen of FreeportIt was my first suspenseful book, easy reading. Loved it.Eh
3By Puzzle pantsIt was good, not great. I kind of figured it out myself.Very Well Written
1By nelson195762I’m not one to go into huge detail about a book which I’ve read. I will say this: This book is one of the very best, most well written ones I have read in a long, long time. Even though the author details the characters every thought and action, there was not one boring second in the entire book. Great author…I plan to read many more if not all of her books. Thankful for a great read!!Believable story?
4By Mcb717I’m not sure this story is believable, but I guess that’s what makes it fiction. It certainly keeps you wanting to read the next page so you can find out the outcome, which is a bit of a twist. Characters are all a little odd.Terrible writing
2By TneyI skipped over about 70% of this book due to the mind numbing unnecessary details. The author felt the need to over-explain everything as if she was writing for a bunch of idiots. I can’t understand why this got so many good reviews.Enjoy the Twists
4By Richcola1452Interesting read. Not too many characters. Some books require an index card to keep track of the characters especially if the story keeps switching stories.Superficial and boring
2By YlrebmikKcI didn’t like or care about any of the characters. Nothing about this book made sense—there was no character development, no plot buildup, no depth. It felt like random stories and characters, including ‘who done it’ were written down and pulled from a hat. Deeply unsatisfying.Great!
4By ThrillerMama34I was hooked from the beginning ! The end was jaw dropping!Watch out for your “friends”.
4By viva lafInteresting twist! Good fast read.Great Twist
5By Fellow AppDeveloperVery good book; I didn’t see it coming.Great plot!
5By Jamilah84I read this book in two days. It definitely kept me on my toes page by page. Very well written!
