Mark Burcham and his wife Amy live the perfect life: they have a happy marriage, a comfortable home in Los Angeles and a beautiful daughter, Tatum. But one night Amy fails to come home from a business trip to Boston, and her office has no record of a client on the east coast.

Then Mark gets the worst news of all; Amy has been found dead. But nothing makes sense. Why was Amy still in town, when he’d waved her off at the airport a few days before? Who was the mysterious client she’d been meeting with for months? There’s only one thing Mark knows for certain: his wife was keeping secrets.

Ratings and reviews

This book had me hooked from the first page. It was definitely an easy read with a linear storyline which I appreciate. There were many twists throughout and he kept you guessing until the very end. It's written in first person through Mark's POV and you can tell from the beginning how much he loves his family.... but how well did he really know his wife? And Why isn't everything she has told him lining up? I guarantee you that you will read this book in one sitting! The only thing I would point out is that there are some spelling errors that the editors should've caught. But otherwise... highly recommend!!!

It was definitely a page turner from the moment I picked it up, I haven't read a book in like two years from front to back, and I finished this book in like two days. A fun on the edge, suspenseful, and shocking thriller with twist and turns to surprise you, so you want to keep reading more. I absolutely loved this one!!!

I could not put this book down. I loved the entire book, plot, twists and turns!!
