This is really a fine read, twists and turns galore. The reader is told the story of the disappearance of an abused woman. The narrator, Beth, tells us her story, her fear and her plans to escape. We also hear the husbands story, denying guilt in her disappearance. Finally, the detective, determined to find the missing wife and connect this to the cruelty of her husband.

The escape plan is ingenious, name changes, new identity struggles. Each part of this makes us more sympathetic to the woman on the run, but this story is anything but the obvious. The author brilliantly foreshadows what the reader will learn, but with incredible subtlety.

I moved quickly through this book and finally figured out what had been laid out in front of me. I was hooked. I totally enjoyed this ride and will recommend this book without giving away any part of this mystery ride.

Great read, timely topic, spousal abuse. Reading groups will find plenty to discuss.

Wow! I sped through this book like a late-night train!

Kimberly Belle is at her best with her latest. A psychological thriller, mystery, who-dunnit all wrapped up into a delicious and thrilling ride with a killer twist you won't see coming.

Kimberly Belle is an auto buy author for me and one I recommend to all my reader friends. This is her very best book yet. It was like a roller coaster, the anticipation of having it in your hands so excited to read. Then the twists and turns keep you reading far into the night. I tried, I truly tried to savor it and read slow but honestly I just couldn't. If I wasn't reading, I was thinking about the characters and the story line and couldn't wait to get back to it. I thoroughly recommend this book if you love psychological thrillers that keep you reading way past your bedtime. I received an advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Harlequin Park Row. All opinions are my own.

Are you ready for a book that is riddled with secrets, mystery characters with questionable motives? If so, you’ve found your next read. Two women, Beth and Sabine are at the center of this story – Beth has run away from an abusive husband, eager to start a new life where she will be safe at last. Hundreds of miles away, Jeffrey has reported his wife Sabine missing. Most of her things have been left at home and her car has been found abandoned. Has she been kidnapped, or worse? You may think you know the answers just from this brief review, but think again. A twisted little masterpiece that will keep you on your toes

AMAZING! This is Belle’s best book! I found myself flying through it, trying to figure out the twists I knew were coming, and couldn’t wait to know. It was so chilling, it made me shiver with goosebumps. And so intriguing I was up way past bedtime. This is a must read for any Belle fan, and a must for any psychological thriller lover. It was done with respect to the subject manner; but still in a way that will give you goosebumps and chills!
I will be highly recommending in chapter chatter pub and making sure that I use in a challenge!
