Was enjoyable, wish some things were explored more rather than quickly wrapped up at the end.

This book was hard to put down. Just when you thought you knew how things were going to turn out, they turned, and then they turned again. I appreciated the different voices, and they worked quite well for an audiobook.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Half way through the book I was suspecting everyone, that’s when you know it’s good. You have absolutely no clue how it’s going to end and you can’t put it down. I loved the different perspectives across different time lines. This book is incredibly well written and the plot is revealed in the perfect order and timing.

4.0

Two women and a child go missing only days apart in the same neighborhood. Were they murdered, abducted, or did they simply just leave?

Two of their neighbors, Bea and Kate, turn into amateur sleuths to help figure out what happened. 

There are a lot of characters, and the story is told from multiple perspectives that time-hop. It can be a little difficult to keep up with. There are several twists and almost everything was *just* plausible to be believable.  

I'd recommend Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger if you like this book.

This book was an awesome read! It details how, unbeknownst to an upper-middle class woman, her home is being shared by another woman who is experiencing homelessness. 
Juno, the woman experiencing homelessness, is living in a park across the street from Winnie and her small family. Juno is accidentally trapped in Winnie’s house and before she can escape, she overhears a conversation between Winnie and her husband that exposes Winnie’s deepest secret. Juno is terminally ill and has made it her final mission to expose Winnie’s sin before she succumbs to Lupus.
