It’s always the husband, isn’t it?
When his wife Brie vanishes from their home one night, never to be seen again, people assume Andy got away with murder. The police can’t build a case against him, but still his friends and neighbours abandon him.
Six years later, Andy’s life is back on track, and he’s settled with a new girlfriend. And when he hears his old house has been bulldozed and rebuilt, he’s not bothered. Things are good.
But then one day, a woman who looks like Brie shows up at their old address, screaming ‘Where’s my house? What happened to my house?’ before vanishing as quickly as she appeared.

I hadn’t read a novel by Linwood Barclay but I will definitely now look out his other books. The storyline flowed and the characters were varied and interesting - it kept me guessing until near the end as to who was the suspect in the earlier missing persons case and what had actually happened.. I couldn’t put the book down and had a few late nights getting through it!

Thanks for NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
