An engaging read but only if you agree that you are willing to suspend reality checks… A man driving up in his own car and essentially breaking in to a friend’s house without any concern over gloves, cameras, alarms? A woman agreeing to go further into the woods when supposedly breaking up with her best friend’s husband? A little more plausibility would’ve gone a long way

Oh my, this has all the makings of a good thriller, but it falls short. Two couples, a missing husband and a plot to cover up what really happened. Told in alternating perspectives from Nina and Christian. Nina is married to Jake, a neurosurgeon who has gone missing. Nina is a high school English teacher trying to hold her marriage together. Christian is married to Lily, co-worker/friend of Nina's. Christian is a moron and Lily is pretty boring too.
