Darby Kane thrills with this twisty domestic suspense novel that asks one central question: Shouldn’t a dead husband stay dead?

Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn’t what she seems.

A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila’s husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it’s discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the connection, if there even is one. Little do they know they might be stumbling over only part of the truth.... With the small town in an uproar, everyone is worried about the whereabouts of their beloved high school teacher. Everyone except Lila, his wife.

She’s definitely confused about her missing husband but only because she was the last person to see his body, and now it’s gone.

Buy the book or the kindle version. The narrator is AWFUL. She uses the completely wrong tone and inflection for a murder mystery. It was so hard to listen to. The story line itself was enough to keep me listening but I will never listen to another narration by Xe Sands. She completely ruined the book for me.

Good story, horrible narration

This book just wasn't for me. I've stopped and started probably 15 times as it just couldn't hold my attention. I am coming off two knockouts that may of swayed my desicion a bit. I don't feel like it warrants a return, but it was just a little meh for me.

While I love the author and narrator..

This one wasn't bad, as far as domestic suspense goes. The big reveal was pretty predictable, but that's probably just me because I read too much. I was absolutely engaged for the first 90% of the book, though. The author created some interesting threads for us to work out, but I wish the real killer would have come from a different one, as that reveal was anticlimactic, and there were no real surprises. Overall, I feel like it was a fun ride that just kind of flopped at the end. One thing that did not work at all was the very last scene. We got a lesson in feminism that didn't have to be spelled out for us, and it came off pretty didactic, but the author probably thought some people wouldn't get it, so ok. Overall, it was entertaining, but not very memorable.

Decent Little Mystery

This book definitely pulls you in and has you wondering what the heck is going on the entire book. There is no guessing the ending, when it happens it is going to slap you in the face and make you say what just happened. I really enjoyed this book and felt the author did a great job introducing you to characters and helping you be in the head of certain ones. This was my first book from this author and it has me interested in reading more.

What the heck just happened?
