Publisher's summary

Your husband was involved in a fatal accident.

One horrific sentence, delivered in an impersonal phone call, changes Celine Thompson’s life in a second. But when she’s asked to identify his body, what she discovers sends everything she thought she knew about her life crashing down.

This man is not my husband.

But who was the man who died driving Tate’s car? How did he have Tate’s possessions and, more importantly, why do they sport identical tattoos?

We’re going to find him.

When Tate doesn’t answer his phone or arrive home after the accident, Celine fears the worst. Still holding on to hope her husband may be alive, Celine is desperate to track Tate down and figure out what’s going on before it’s too late. The only problem? There are dark truths waiting to come out that are so atrocious she won’t ever be able to look away from them.

As she begins to put together the pieces of the mysterious day her husband went missing, it paints a picture of a man she never really knew. Is it possible Tate is still alive, or is she wasting her time searching for someone who will never be found? And if he is alive, how will they ever survive all that she’s unearthed?

With time running out, Celine must push the limits of the law and her safety to shed light on the secrets that have been hiding in the dark corners of their life together. In doing so, she may just uncover the final missing piece to the puzzle surrounding her husband’s fate.

Someone is lying.

Someone is missing.

Someone is guilty.

In this menacing, dark, and completely twisted domestic thriller, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin deep dives into a marriage riddled with lies, a couple with wicked secrets, and a woman who will stop at nothing to discover the truth about her husband’s disappearance. Forget everything you think you know…

Twists and turns

I was caught up from the beginning and when the story got difficult I had to go on to the end.

Least favorite book I’ve listened to from this author

I had a hard time staying engaged, especially the chapters that were constantly flashing back to the boys childhood. I found most of it unnecessary. I wish it would’ve had less graphic details about their past. The rest of the chapters, about current day, were enjoyable..

A few surprising twists n great writing.

I totally enjoyed this story.
Fastest I ever finished an audio book.
Keeps u enthralled and wanting to know more.

Did not finish

The description of this book was appealing as I enjoy a good mystery/suspense story and I’ve enjoyed other books by the author. However, this one I did not enjoy. It’s too dark and disturbing for my taste. Also, I didn’t like any of the characters. I finally had enough with an hour to go and just stopped listening. My next read will be something significantly lighter as I feel the need to wash this book out of my brain.

Twisty Little Read

Kiersten never disappoints! I did find this book a little slower taking off but just stick with it! The twists will have your jaw on the floor. I defiantly recommend!

This was a great listen!

Another great one from this author. Thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of twists and turns. Highly recommended

Twists and turns.

And just when I wanted to not like Tate he became the bro but with secrets like all of us have…..to some degree.

Great narrator, bad story

I love this author but this book definitely felt like it was one just to put out and make money on. Compared to many of her other books, this fell flat on story subject and cadence. Very disappointing

Soooooo Good!!

I read an average of 15 books a month! This is one of the best!! It’s a twisty one!!

the characters

This is my favorite book so far by km. Great story and great characters.
