Synopsis

"Yet another stick of literary dynamite from Adele Parks: chilling, gripping and entirely unputdownable." —Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author

HAPPY. MARRIED. MISSING.

Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.

Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman Daan and vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.

Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time—far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward and others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be.

How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be.

Solid read, I liked it but didn't love it. The beginning was kind of a slow build up, but at 37% there was a "wow" twist. Then it kind of went around in circles for a long time, finally ending in a very ambiguous open ended way that wasn't entirely believable, yet was predictable at the same time. T......more

Let's just take a moment and process the fact the book really ended like that. There is a lot to unpack at that moment when you reach the end, then frantically keep swiping thinking there has to be more. I swiped so hard, it flew out of my library. I was guessing right up to the end. A great sign fo......more

This is a very slow-burning thriller. The suspense doesn’t drive the plot, the characters and their psychology do. Sometimes this annoys me, I want to get to the action, feel my heart beat. But Adele Parks created some compelling characters, that I wanted to know more about. There was an underlying......more
