Publisher Description

New York Times Bestseller

"Dark and twisty, with white-knuckle tension and jaw-dropping surprises." —Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Home Before Dark


In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense Mary Kubica, author of Just the Nicest Couple, takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

People don't just disappear without a trace…

Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.

Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they'll find…

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“This was wild and I really didn’t see that ending coming at all and was pretty saddened by it. Just goes to show people can be extremely deceiving. I was very hooked and read quickly. I felt emotionally invested in but slightly skeptical of every character which is great writing in my book. Looking forward to reading more from Mary.”

Expressionless Face“Nope didn’t do it for me. If it was realistic Delilah slash carly would have been in the hospital so long when found and the one cop on her case lying about the dna also the condition of the real delilah being found. The math ain’t mathing. Over all the ending was too far fetch with everything happening at once. Idk”
Obstacles overcome too easilyUnengaging charactersUnsatisfying ending
Thinking Face“I liked this book more than I thought I would. I didn’t love that they gave so many different “it could be them” storylines, but I guess it made it a little more shocking when you found out who it was. I’d recommend. I liked that it was fast paced.”
