About this listen

Bestselling authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke make their suspense debut in this twisty, emotional thriller.

Elementary school teacher Jacqueline "Jacks" Morales's marriage was far from perfect, but even in its ups and downs it was predictable, familiar. Or at least she thought it was...until two police officers showed up at her door with devastating news. Her husband of eight years, the one who should have been on a business trip to Kansas, had suffered a fatal car accident in Hawaii. And he wasn't alone.

For Jacks, laying her husband to rest was hard. But it was even harder to think that his final moments belonged to another woman - one who had left behind her own grieving and bewildered fiancé. Nick, just as blindsided by the affair, wants answers. So he suggests that he and Jacks search for the truth together, retracing the doomed lovers' last days in paradise.

Now, following the twisting path of that fateful road, Jacks is learning that nothing is ever as it seems. Not her marriage. Not her husband. And most certainly not his death...

Great story!

Some predictability but kept you interested wondering what happened. And just when you think it's over and wrapped up in a bow, it's not!

amazing

It's been a very long time since I have read a book that kept me on the edge until the very end. The author weaves a tale that leaves very few clues to how the story will end. There was very little predictability here, and that makes for a phenomenal experience.

Don"t read this book if...

...if you're not ready to be thoroughly engaged with each and every chapter. The main character is richly textured, developing as you turn the pages from the wife in a marriage that has faltered over an eight year marriage to a widow who discovers at her husband's death that he had a mistress. And so much more. Love, loss, solace, murder - SO much more. Chapters scattered throughout the book that are told by the three secondary characters, add so much to the weave of the plot rather than subtract. I listened to the audio version and found myself taking the long way home and then carrying my Kindle from room to room as I did the chores - even with headphones on while vacuuming.

Heartwrenching

Such a poignant story of 2 people trying to come to terms with not only the loss of loved ones but the affair they may have caused the loss. But watch out, this story takes a crazy turn with a plot twist that you don't expect. Fantastic story.

Yes but...

Good book but the narrative isn’t good. She has a fine voice but not good with changing characters voices
