'A MASTERFULLY WRITTEN SERIES' Ashley Audrain

'GRABS YOU ON THE FIRST PAGE' Laura Dave

Two couples, two close friends, one missing husband...

Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife Nina thinks he is blowing off steam somewhere after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found.

Nina's friend Lily thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake's disappearance, especially not Nina. But Nina is out there looking for Jake, and she won't stop until the truth is discovered.

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Nita Prose and Freida McFadden
