Faith is a mostly respected psychiatrist, excepting a teensy little scandal, with a radio show and two books under her belt. When she crashes her car the night of a book launch, and her husband simultaneously vanishes no one believes he was there at the time of the accident. Faith had been drinking heavily and self medicating, and the toxicology report showed that she had been driving under the influence. Can anyone believe what she says about how the crash happened?
But if Liam wasn’t in the car, where did he go? Faith literally wrote the book on how to leave a toxic relationship, and with all the fallout from the scandal, maybe Liam decided to take some of her advice… Faith slowly falls apart, her drinking increases and her once busy practice dwindles. There is still no sign of what happened to Liam, and the police have stopped looking. Then the notes start to arrive…
Faith Finley is the epitome of the unreliable narrator; she drinks heavily, pops pills and ignores her own advice. Reading this book I never knew what she was going to do next, but that it would most likely be a terrible decision… it was a bit like watching a car crash and being unable to look away.

Someone's Listening by Seraphina Nova Glass is a suspenseful domestic mystery.
Psychologist Faith Finley's life imploded months earlier with a shocking accusation and the unexplained disappearance of her husband, Liam. Unable to move past her grief, Faith relies on alcohol and pills to cushion her from her pain. Ready for a change, she makes a snap decision to move from their house in the suburbs to their apartment in downtown Chicago. After making a shocking discovery, Faith hopes the police will take her assertions that Liam did not abandon her more seriously. And when sinister notes begin appearing in her mailbox and at her apartment, Faith takes matters into her own hands to try to unearth the truth about who is stalking her and what happened to Liam.
Faith and Liam are happily married and she is stunned by the realization that her beloved husband does not instantly discount the accusation leveled against her. But Faith gives him the space he needs in hopes that he will realize she is telling the truth. By the night of her anticipated book release, their marriage is in a much better place. Which is why Faith is so convinced that Liam did not leave her following the accident on their way home from the book release party.
Uncertain whom to trust after returning to Chicago, Faith tries to avoid new neighbor Hilly Lancaster. She has an unexpected tie to Liam but Faith cannot decide whether the woman is just eccentric and harmless or hiding a devious mind. Faith is grateful for neighbor Marty Nash who provides her unexpected assistance as she tries to find out more information about her husband's life. And although a little uncomfortable, Faith turns to old friend Will Holloway for legal advice as she continues to be a suspect in Liam's case.
Detective John Sterling is suspicious of Faith's account about what happened but they do go through the motions of investigating the accident. When evidence points toward Liam leaving of his own accord, the case is soon closed. But an astonishing finding changes the course of the investigation. Faith remains under suspicion but will the increasingly menacing threats she is receiving change Sterling's mind?
Someone's Listening is a perplexing mystery with an intriguing storyline. Faith's history is interesting but considering her profession, she does not always make the wisest choices. A bit slow moving at first, the pace picks up steam and Seraphina Nova Glass brings this clever mystery to a twist-filled conclusion.
