This was my first thriller/mystery read and it was a really good one. It drew me in right away with questions and curiosities. I really liked how it went back in time to the beginning on the relationship of Owen and Hannah and then to the present moment.
In the book, Hannah Hall’s husband Owen Michaels goes missing after the FBI begins investigating and arresting his boss. He leaves her with his daughter Bailey Michaels. After a US Marshall shows up to their home in Sausalito, Hannah figures out that Owen isn’t who she thought he was. Hannah and Bailey both set out to figure out who Owen really is and why he has done and said the things he has. What they find out and how this brings their relationship closer isn’t something either of them expected.
If you’re trying to get into mystery books this is a great first read. Its engaging and mysterious and i couldn’t have predicted what the end results were.
