A mother goes missing, vanishing out of thin air in the latest thriller book by @sharilapena
🏢
Bryden and Sam are the perfect couple: they both have great jobs, a beautiful three-year-old daughter, a luxury apartment, but when Bryden goes missing without a trace one day, it becomes apparent that something sinister lies beneath the surface. Who could have been responsible for her disappearance? The husband, the attractive man she rear-ended a few weeks before, her sister, her best friend, her parents? Bryden is missing and many have a motive.
🏢
This one kept me guessing! Honestly at several different times suspicion shifted so much, I had various suspects in each chapter! I love Lapena’s writing. It’s so detached and clinical, reading more like a police report and for this genre it works so well! Happy release week!
CW: murder, death, domestic abuse, infidelity, sexual assault, kidnapping, sexual harassment, sexual assault
What happened with the murdering couple? What happened with the wife of the rapist? Extra characters not always needed here.

This is the first the first of Lapena’s books I have read. It kept me engaged and I did not figure out the mystery until close to the end. BUT -- there were just too many characters to keep straight. I couldn't figure out who some of the characters were by the end of the book. I actually Googled "who is Tracy"! I was also a bit disappointed at the somewhat abrupt ending but overall, it was very enjoyable.
