Publisher Description
From a master of suspense comes a chilling novel that explores the dangers lurking closer than you think. Because even in the perfect family, you never know what is going on behind closed doors…. This is what happened… It was a case guaranteed to spark a media feeding frenzy—a young mother, blond and pretty, disappears without a trace from her South Boston home, leaving behind her four-year-old daughter as the only witness and her handsome, secretive husband as the prime suspect. In the last six hours… But from the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, she senses something off about the picture of wholesome normality the couple worked so hard to create. On the surface, Jason and Sandra Jones are like any other hardworking young couple raising a four-year-old child. But it is just under the surface that things grew murky. Of the world as I knew it…. With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and the media firestorm building, Jason Jones seems more intent on destroying evidence and isolating his daughter than on searching for his “beloved” wife. Is the perfect husband trying to hide his guilt—or just trying to hide? And will the only witness to the crime be the killer’s next victim?

"A young woman mysteriously disappears. Her husband is the 'person of interest', as is the registered sex offender from down the street. The Police are in a conundrum... and that is the start of an interesting tale of mysteries both old and new. The climax is well worth staying up late to read."
— Joyce (4 out of 5 stars)

" Well written book that will have you trying to guess the entire time....Who did it, How did they do it. Why did they do it. Not just one person, but more than one. What are the secrets not being shared? "

" Not bad. Certainly kept my interest. A few unanswered questions at the end. Overall a nice thriller. "
— Kitty, 2/16/2014 -
" A gripping hook. I was in from the first page. The climax stopped me though. I found it a bit of a stretch. Perhaps it just needed more setup. Overall, I enjoyed this novel and love Lisa's writing style. "
— Nancy, 1/19/2014 -
" This book was pretty good. It's definitely better than the earlier books in the series. Unfortunately, the ending seemed not well thought out. A lot happens at the end that doesn't connect very well to the rest of the book. Still, I liked it. It's worth the $8 for the Kindle edition. "
— Marcia, 1/15/2014 -
" I enjoyed this book because it kept me guessing. It starts out similar to Gone Girl (although this book was first I believe) in that a wife goes missing and the husband seems uncoorperative in finding her. Lots of secrets and hints and red herrings. "
— Susie, 1/2/2014 -
" This absolutely held my attention but there were so many holes in the plot that I ultimately found it disappointing. I am surprised no editor pointed out these flaws. "
— CLM, 12/7/2013 -
" A really good mystery/suspense book. The audio version was great, I think 3 different narrators. This is the 3rd in this series and they've all kept me guessing till the end. "
— Jenny, 12/4/2013 -

— Kathy, 9/21/2013 -
" Intense suspense filled page turner! This was the first of the authors books I've read and I'll definitely be reading more. "
— Rebecca, 9/4/2013 -
" Oh wow! What an entertaining book; I couldn't wait to read this book as much as possible every day. I love a good 'who-done-it' story that twists and turns just as you think you have it figured out. Lisa Gardener is an enthralling writer and I can't wait to read her other novels. "
— Natalie, 8/22/2013 -
" I love the way Lisa Gardner tells a story. She knows how to keep you hooked on the mystery and telling you enough clues to the outcome.........but not enough to give away the ending. Great writer for sure "
— Linda, 7/6/2013 -
" You can read my thoughts here. (4.25/5) "

— Dawn, 5/7/2013 -
" it was pretty good, the Detective lady was kind of annoying, background noise if you ask me. "
— Libby, 4/27/2013 -
" Fairly well written with a very suspenseful build-up. Was going for a 5 (or at least a 4) until the end. The author just couldn't get out of all of the suspense that had build up with out some disappointing contrivance. "
— Diane, 4/2/2013 -
" Way too much foul language "
— Reida, 3/18/2013 -

" I know I've read this before... "
— Cetta, 8/19/2012 -
" I liked how this book created several unusual story lines and tied them together. It was one of those books that I was thinking about while not reading it and wanting to get back to it to see what would happen. "
— Cecelia/Ceil, 7/7/2012 -

" Kept me in suspense. And I did rather like the ending. "
— Erin, 5/12/2011 -
" A seemingly normal family has Mom disappear one day and of course the first one suspected of foul play is her husband. The story is suspensful and keeps you guessing to the result until the end. The end was what I didn't like. Seemed to be thrown together to tidy up the loose ends. "
— Marge, 5/8/2011 -
" Lisa Gardner is quickly becoming on of my favorite authors. I really enjoyed this book. I didn't guess the ending, which is always nice with a crime novel. <br/> <br/> "
— Samantha, 5/2/2011 -
" It was a good book but not like the others I've read so far in the series. It was slower in the beginning than others I've read by her but did not disappoint at the end. It kept me guessing throughout the whole story! I had no idea what was to come and had a great ending! "
— Julia, 5/1/2011 -
" Lisa Gardner is a fantastic author, although this wasn't my favorite so far in this series it was still a very great book, full of suspense and twists. I am excited to read the next in this series "Live to Tell". "
