About this ebook
The latest unputdownable bestseller from Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR and EVERYONE HERE IS LYING
'The queen of the one-sit read' Linwood Barclay
'Shari Lapena is one of the best thriller writers in the business' Steve Cavanagh
*****
Why would you run scared from a happy home?
You're waiting for your beloved husband to get home from work.
You're making dinner, looking forward to hearing about his day.
That's the last thing you remember.
You wake up in hospital, with no idea how you got there. They tell you that you were in an accident; you lost control of your car whilst driving in a dangerous part of town.
The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it. Your best friend isn't so sure. And even you don't know what to believe . . .
*****

Did enjoy reading this and was left wanting more and keen to finish to find out what had really happened. However, I would say that I did guess it quite early on and felt that some of the storyline was kind of a variation of what has been done several times before and I felt that I didn't fully get to know all the characters that much. But aside all this, an enjoyable page turner murder mystery!

Very basic book. The author generates very limited interest or empathy in the one dimensional characters and plot. Reminiscent of a creative writing project of a secondary school student. I regret wasting my time on this book.

Terrible writing. I'm at a loss trying to understand how this authors books are bestsellers. The storylines are ok but very predictable. It's the actual writing itself. Very simple, non descriptive childish writing.
