This was such a great read. Just the Nicest Couple had a great plot, but I found that the Characters POV were what really drove the story for me. I absolutely love the way Mary writes her characters. I always get so invested in each characters perspective it’s almost disappointing when it changes!

This book was a really good read, however, I wasn't crazy about the ending. I might look into reading more of this authors work though, liked the writing.

4.0

Nina's husband Jake is missing. That's about the only thing we know is true. Nina's friend and coworker Lily told her husband Christian that Jake attacked her and she fought back. But is that really the truth? 

I enjoyed the audio version of this book. I did figure out most of the mysteries early on

I figured out that Ryan was into Nina and that Jake and Lily were having an affair. It was pretty obv ous that Lily was lying. Why would you be so scared to go to the police if he actually attacked you?

However, I didn't think that

Nina's mom was the one who killed Jake! I should have guessed it though because there were a lot of clues pointing to her.

I found it to be a bit repetitive and found that Lily and Christian made some decisions that made no sense at all. I get Christian wanting to protect his wife, but I was really annoyed with so many decisions he made.

Why would you put the bloody clothes in a neighbours garbage?
