Synopsis

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until you reach the end.” —Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me

A husband’s disappearance links two couples in this twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing, Mary Kubica 

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.

"Rich with detail and a mounting, almost suffocating sense of dread, Just the Nicest Couple is a dark and twisted exploration of loyalty, family, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love." —Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here

Goodreads review by Meredith (Trying to catch up!) on November 22, 2022

Dud Alert! 1.5 stars Just the Nicest Couple is a bland thriller about two couples, a missing husband, and the plot to cover up his disappearance. I had vowed to stop reading Kubica, but the premise sounded so good that I had to give this one a go. This book has all of the makings of a juicy thriller,......more

Can you hear the choo-choo sounds? The disappointment train is pulling into Nilyland! This is what happens when your expectations are sky-high.

Goodreads review by Darla on January 04, 2023

What a bunch of selfish, unlikable, unwise people in this book! I was frustrated enough at one point to yell at one of the characters. "Don't do it!" I insisted. Fortunately, he/she was just imagining a course of action rather than carrying it out. So, as noted in the blurb there are two couples. Ou......more
