Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:A "taut and fraught . . . Paranoia-inducing." (Entertainment Weekly) psychological thriller that will keep readers guessing right up until the last page.

A whirlwind romance. A picture-perfect marriage. Hannah Reilly has seized her chance at happiness.

Until the day her husband doesn't come home ...

Hannah, independent, headstrong and determined not to follow in the footsteps of her bitterly divorced mother, has always avoided commitment. But one hot New York summer she meets Mark Reilly, a fellow Brit, and is swept up in a love affair that changes all her ideas about what marriage might mean.

Now, living in their elegant, expensive London townhouse and adored by her fantastically successful husband, she knows she was right to let down her guard.

But when Mark does not return from a business trip to the States and when the hours of waiting for him stretch into days, the foundations of Hannah's certainty begins to crack. Why do Mark's colleagues believe he has gone to Paris not America? Why is there no record of him at his hotel? And who is the mysterious woman who has been telephoning him over the last few weeks?

Hannah begins to dig into her husband's life uncovering revelations that throw into doubt everything she has ever believed about him. As her investigation leads her away from their fairytale romance into a place of violence and fear she must decide whether the secrets Mark has been keeping are designed to protect him, or protect her ...

Received from NetGalley.

It might be time for me to stop picking up "British thrillers." I've read a few now and they all seem to follow the same pattern. Slow slow slow fast fast over.

Hannah finally meets someone she is ready to settle down with after years of casual relationships and being scared of commitment and as far as she knows he's amazing. But when her husband doesn't come back from a business trip as scheduled, she starts to discover some secrets about the man she married and she doesn't want to believe what she finds out. I guessed the "twist" fairly early on and kept reading to see if I was right instead of giving up like I should have. Meh. Just meh. Not for me. ( )

I'm adoring British psychological thrillers at the moment and Lucie Whitehouse is one of my favourites. This novel was utterly predictable BUT I couldn't put it down and read it in two sittings, brilliantly written (except when she guessed her husband's laptop password in three guesses! C'mon! He is the Head of a Tech agency!) such a fun and cheesy read ❤️ ( )

This was pretty good for a mystery/thriller type book! I don't read many of them, but was definitely interested the whole time, and it kept me guessing. Some of the writing felt a little lazy, just in terms of word choice. ( )

This book is a roller coaster ride of thinking you know what is happening to being completely thrown off track. I really enjoyed it for what it was a summer thriller.

It's my first real venture into this genre of marriage and mystery. The final twist kinda annoyed me, but by that point I could tell what was happening. ( )

I liked this more in the beginning than I did by the time it ended. I put it down numerous times and wasn't really bothered by anything else that came up that prevented me from getting right back to it. This is a book I would have really loved in my twenties but did not find it a satisfying read now. I found this predictable and cliche and expected something more. There's nothing wrong with the story (like when you turn on Lifetime Movie Network, you know what you're going to get) but I do know that for me, it will be mostly forgettable. On the upside, I did get one more book off my TBR list. ( )

The rain was beating down, and out there, where the carriageway was exposed, the wind buffeted Hannah's old VW as if it were trying to push it off the road.
