5.0
One of the best thrillers I've read since "Gone Girl."
When Lila's husband goes missing, she is shocked because she is the last person to have seen him alive. She was the one who planted his dead body in his car, and now his car and body are missing. Is someone watching her closely and covering up her mistake, or is her husband, out there somewhere, alive and plotting his revenge.
Kane writes Lila to be a bad ass main character, who has her own trauma and background that makes her the survivor she is.
There are lots of twists and turns I never saw coming. Short and action packed chapters kept the pages turning at a good pace and left me needing to know what happened next. Overall, 5 stars for this debut and I'll be adding more books from Darby to my "to-be-read" list ~ automatically ~ in the future
