 Hannah is happily married to Owen and adjusting to being a stepmom to Bailey. Things are going better than she could have expected, until Owen disappears. Turns out there was a scandal at his job and the FBI is looking for him. As Hannah tries to figure out where he could have gone she starts to realize she may not have known Owen at all.

The book was a good mystery, but I wouldn't say it was very thrilling.

Overall, just an okay book. It was fun to see how the clues all lead to the next clue, but it was very predictable. Less than half way through, I was already certain with how it would end and I was completely right. The main character was also perfect and had no flaws. She made seemingly stupid decisions but they all worked out perfectly. And even with her step daughter, who was openly defiant, she always handled it perfectly, which was just completely unrealistic. It was really just a mediocre, predictable, modern, mystery book. 3 stars
