Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica
4.0
Thriller time!!! Mary Kubica is one of my fave thriller writers because she comes through with the OMG vibes and Just the Nicest Couple doesn’t disappoint!
Lily and Christian Scott are acquaintances with Nina and Jake Hayes. Lily and Nina are both teachers at a local school and that’s how the friendship was formed. One day Christian comes home from work to find Lily acting strange and paranoid. She ends up telling Christian that she ran into Jake at a park and something happened.
Nina is at home wondering where her husband is. He hasn’t returned from the hospital where he works as a surgeon since they had a fight the night before. She’s been spending most of her free time with her mother who is ill and always needs assistance and therefore neglecting Jake and his needs. Did he up and leave her?
Lily can’t remember what happened in the park, but she remembers hitting Jake with a rock after he attacked her and Christian is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his pregnant wife safe and to keep her out of jail. Nina is freaking out not knowing where Jake is, but when the police finds his car, she’s terrified. She starts noticing weird things at home and The Scott’s are acting weird too. Is there foul play in her husband’s disappearance? Did their friends The Scott’s have anything to do with it?
Expect all kinds of twists and turns in this one. While I did figure out a couple of twists early, I was not prepared for this ending!
