My work book club picked this one for the end of 2021 and I'm glad I picked up the audiobook! I absolutely loved the narrator's voice, so maybe that influenced my review in a positive direction. This was slower-paced than most thrillers and I would recommend it to mystery fans over thriller-devotees. I enjoyed the focus on Hannah and Bailey's relationship and the complicated dynamics of a step-family.
Like some other reviewers have mentioned, I think more description of Hannah and Owen's life before his disappearance would have increased my investment at the beginning of the story. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to read a thriller where the relationships and emotional tension were as important as the more superficial drama!

Great engaging story.
From the first moment you’re on this journey with Hannah to figure out what is going on with her husband.
I truly enjoyed the way Hannah and Bailey were written & how you can feel both their despair and hope during this adventure.
I do think the third act of the book felt rushed and not as developed as the start but overall enjoyable.

This book started off so well! The fast paced beginning gripped me and I like that the story doesn't go where you might expect but by the end I was struggling with quite how far-fetched the plot had become.
