Thiiis book! What a page turner. I really hated putting this book down because it was so good. Thriller, full of twists with a great narrative. Sutton and Ethan are two writers and are happily married...or so everybody thinks. Sutton leaves a note saying she is leaving and to please not look for her, but the whole things seems a little fishy. Everyone thinks she has disappeared and of course the primary suspect is the husband. But did he kill her? Did she just leave because she was unhappy? Or are they being set up by a third party? Things start to get complicated when Sutton's friends accuse Ethan of killing the baby they had together who supposedly died from SIDS. This book is full of twists and turns, lies and betrayal, you would not expect the ending and you just want to keep on reading and reading because you want to find out what is going on. If you are in for a thrill and suspense, this is the book for you!

Sutton and Ethan Montclair may look like they have the perfect life but when financial hardships and personal betrayals start to emerge, tension starts to mount. When Ethan wakes up one morning he finds a note from his wife saying she's left and don't try to find her. Ethan soon finds himself the main suspect and all of Sutton's friend are pointing the finger at him. As the police investigate, Ethan starts to find out who he truly married and how much he has been lied to. This book has lots of twists and turns and just like her other works, J.T. Ellison will leave you guessing until the end. I had no idea what was going to happen and I love books that don't make it easy for the reader to figure out. Another great one!
