I loved this audiobook. Fantastic domestic suspense thriller. I was hoping for a bit more oomph on the ending but I wasn’t disappointed!

Nice and twisty thriller. Couldn’t put it down. I guessed parts of it but not all, which is always fun. Solid read!

I loved “Local Woman Missing” and was excited to read this new release by the same author. Unfortunately, it didn’t hit the mark. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and the plot was bland. On a side note, the physical pages of the book were very thin and had a strange chemical smell.

The beginning and the meat n potatoes had me going. This author’s multiple pov always takes me a sec to get a handle on because we get 2 POV’s but we’re talking about a group 4 people, so just getting clarity on who’s who always takes me a sec.
I do enjoy her books as a suspense author, they’re fun and keep you on your toes. This ending was not particularly my favorite but I would still recommend it!
