Publisher's summary

This is not the happy family you think.

The fire crackles, my son smiles, the man jokes whilst I pour drinks.

But my husband has disappeared. The man is a stranger. My skin crawls every time he brushes my hand.

He says if I don’t play along, he has photos that will destroy my family.

What happened the night before my husband disappeared - the night I don’t remember?

There’s nothing I can do to save my family...is there?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with an ending you will never see coming! Perfect for anyone who adored The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us, or The Woman in the Window.

LOVE. But missing details I need!

I really love Samantha Hayes, and I love when Susie Riddell narrates. The story was great, and had a lot of turns I wasn’t expecting. There were just a few parts of the story that I want to know more of what happened. Specifically with Rhonda and her daughter, but that may just be the social worker in me. Either way, the story leaves you needing more, and unable to put it down.

Great Ending

I loved the twist at the end. Enjoyed the story, but was a bit underwhelmed throughout. Samantha Hayes does a great job of keeping you intrigued to continue!

Great book!

I loved reading from the beginning to the end. I was shocked by the ending. I thought I knew exactly what wa coming and was happily shocked by the twist. Just found this author and will keep reading for sure.

This book made me angry

The female in this story made me so angry with how she allowed a male to control her. The story had potential but missed the mark in my opinion

Pitiful main female character. Maddening!

So many “seriously?” moments in this book. The Jen character is weak, though she’s a medical doctor. She’s a total pushover and the book had many “why in the world would anyone react like this?” Keep your credits away from this one.
