A husband’s disappearance links two couples in this twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing, Mary Kubica

Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife, Nina, thinks he is blowing off steam at a friend’s house after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found.

Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and coworker, thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake’s disappearance, especially not Nina. But Nina is out there looking for her husband, and she won’t stop until the truth is discovered.

"Rich with detail and a mounting, almost suffocating sense of dread, Just the Nicest Couple is a dark and twisted exploration of loyalty, family, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love." —Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here

Ratings and reviews

This is the type of book you would read if you are a bored housewife who day dreams about drama to fill the void of your aimless existence. This book could have ended by chapter one by just calling the police, but no let's drag something out unnecessarily because manufactured drama. There is no character build up and who even knows the last name of the main character who day dreams about murdering people?? Want to know what else helps these thoughts? Therapy... I really hope people in this world are unable to relate to these soulless characters. rip 13 dollars..

Just the Nicest Couple, by Mary Kubica, shows us that you never really know what someone else is capable of doing regardless of how well you know them. It demonstrates the level of depravity humans are capable of, given the right circumstances. It's scary to realize that someone so close to you could be harbouring secrets beyond your wildest imagination. Ms Kubica does a good job bringing these secrets to light. The audiobook is excellent, and it's easy to become absorbed in the story. Overall,

entertaining but predictable
