 Meghan Michaels is a nurse and there are three stories going parallel at the same time in the book that meet at the end.
1st story is about a girl Caitlin who arrives in the hospital in a coma state after jumping off a bridge on the train tracks. Meghan is trying engulfed in figuring out the patient's past.
2nd story is about Meghan meeting her high school classmate and how she's trying to help her be safe from her abusive husband.
3rd story is there is a killer on the loose who is attacking women in their homes and killing them.

There are 2 suspenses at the end. I guessed one (

the ward boy Luke is the killer

) but I did not expect the 2nd one at all (

  Caitlin was impersonating as Meghan's classmate and Meghan was the one who accidentally threw her off the bridge  

  )
The book is okay-ish. I could go through it because i was listening to the audiobook.

*Spoilers* This book had so much potential and I LOVED Local Woman Missing, but this just fell flat for me. The twists just didn't hit like they should've. The storyline was super confusing when Part 2 rolled around. It was like the past and present were happening at the same time? What? That had me hung up thinking how it didn't make sense. The ending was she got away with it? When the dad was a high powered attorney? Where did her $10k go? So many open ended questions that didn't add up.

Honestly the narrator annoyed me endlessly. I was ready to give up on the book. Then THE TWIST. Then it went back to annoying and predictable.

This book had me going right from the very start! 

I wasn't sure what to expect, as I went into this book not knowing ANYTHING about the plot, but omg, the start of this book seriously had me wanting to know what was going on and what was going to happen. I couldn't stop listening to it and seriously just wanted to know how everything was gonna come together. 

The reveal was so good!!! I definitely did not predict it, even with all my guesses, and found it to be SUCH a well-done storyline. I've been recommending it to so many customers and hoping they'll enjoy it as much as I did!

I honestly cannot wait to read more thrillers because of this!
