No matter what you see, no matter what you’ve heard, assume nothing.Adam and Sophie Warner and their three-year-old daughter are vacationing in Washington State’s Hood Canal for Memorial Day weekend. It’s the perfect getaway to unplug—and to calm an uneasy marriage. But on Adam’s first day out on the water, he sees Sophie abducted by a stranger. A hundred yards from shore, Adam can’t save her. … can’t save her. And Sophie disappears.
In a nearby cabin is another couple, Kristen and Connor Moss. Unfortunately, beyond what they’ve heard in the news, they’re in the dark when it comes to Sophie’s disappearance. For Adam, at least there’s comfort in knowing that Mason County detective Lee Husemann is an old friend of his. She’ll do everything she can to help. She must.
But as Adam’s paranoia about his missing wife escalates, Lee puts together the pieces of a puzzle. The lives of the two couples are converging in unpredictable ways, and the picture is unsettling. Lee suspects that not everyone is telling the truth about what they know—or they have yet to reveal all the lies they’ve hidden from the strangers they married.

As usual this author did a great job with making something outlandish seem very real. Great plot twists and turns.
Quite good who done it?!
I love thinking I know, only to find I hadn’t a clue! This one is filled with interesting characters with their own problems to deal with along with a murder to solve.
This is my first book by Gregg Olsen and it certainly will not be my last. This was one heck of a book.
It kept me guessing all through the story. Who could be trusted. Who was telling the most lies. It had two stories going in lots of places but they connected in a way too. Lee’s story and Adam’s. It was a story of life altering events that will keep you turning the pages.
The characters were ones you will love to hate, with the exception of Lee and Montrose. Lee had a lot going on in her life at a very young age. Very traumatic events that shaped her into the great Detective she is. She and Adam where childhood friends but they didn’t know each other as adults. Until that fateful day when his wife went missing.
What could possibly have happened to Adam’s wife. Who could have taken her and why. All of this is answered for you. This book is very well written and keeps you turning pages to find out what comes next.
Told from multiple points of view you won’t know who or what to believe. From an innocent child to a cruel vindictive adult this story will keep you captivated until the very end. I felt bad for Adam in so many ways. I felt bad for a few of the characters. But for one my heart broke.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good who done it. It’s a very good book.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #Thomas and Mercer for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. I truly loved this book.
A 5 star book for sure.
A rather intense book that kept me guessing to the end. I’m still not sure who did it.
