The author is new to me it’s at great suspense book that you just have to keep reading
Started out slow then got interesting.
Certainly kept me guessing!
This is a thriller…..once the author sets this book up, you are off and running.
Told by Jane, the wife, you meet her kids and husband and know she’s a nurse. Busy, she hasn’t any close friends. John seems to be a writer and is home a lot. Melody is a young teen and Russ is just 7. Their marriage has issues like everyone’s and things seem fine.
This author really knows how to create tension. When Bruce and Rainy appear, the awkward scenes are so real and almost painful
Then John disappears and rumors start and the neighbor Karen tries to help as Jane doesn’t want to call the cops. John is a recovered alcoholic and Jane fears he is drinking. And then, there is the weird relationship John has with Bruce. And a car is following the family.
It is scary how the police take her ideas and analyze her and even suspect domestic violence after Jane appears scratched and injured. Ridley is a cop with good instincts.
Great police procedural and tons of action.
Moves at a fast pace.
For once, these are not perfect people and have issues with each other, their relatives, and some money issues…like most real people. Scenes are smart, just enough dialog to move you on. Jane is a strong woman as is the cop Ridley and friend Karen.
You’ll read this in one sitting! 3.8 stars
I liked it. I especially liked the format of Janes character. Different and interesting.
Some tedious “dialogue” with first person writer and self, but a very interesting book altogether.
Enjoyed this book
First time to read this author. Will read more!
Excellent read , my type of book
Loved this book.
Kept me wondering what was going on. Then when I thought I knew what had happened things changed.
I really enjoyed this book. Not knowing what what the ending would be is a real treat!
It definitely kept me guessing!
I couldn’t put it down! I love to try to figure out the ending before I get to the end but this book took me on so many twists and turns, I never saw it coming!
I was struggling through a novel and gave up. This story came to my rescue and I finished it in two days, despite working full time. I will be looking for more by this author.
Didn’t grab me, so I quit reading it.
Could not put it down and recommended to my friends.
Entertaining. Good read.
Loved this book. It looked like a perfect family from the outside but!!!!
Suspenseful and unpredictable, this mystery is well-written. A quick read that keeps you interested and guessing.
