“Stunning. Fiendishly plotted with whiplash twists and turns — Shari Lapena is at the very top of her game here. [She Didn't See It Coming] might be my favorite yet!” —Lucy Foley
The new gripping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
When a beloved wife and mother disappears, a luxurious condo building transforms into a potential crime scene, and the investigation begins: can the detectives find her before it's too late?
Bryden and Sam have it all: thriving careers, a smart apartment in a luxury condominium, supportive friends and a cherished daughter. The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Sam receives a call at his office. Bryden – working from home that day – has failed to collect their daughter from daycare. Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s car in the underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment her laptop is open on the table, her cell phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. It’s as if she just walked out.
How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave the building at all?
With every minute that passes – and as questions swirl around their community – Bryden and Sam’s past seems a little less perfect, their condominium less safe, their friends, neighbors and relatives no longer quite so reliable . . .

This was the Author's Shari Lapena's best book in my opinion! It had me at go! I had my suspension regarding certain characters, but never truly guessed who was truly guilty! I look forward to more books by this author!
3 1/2 ⭐️
This one started off really strong and Ms. Lapena’s writing is addictive. The initial set up was extremely intriguing (although I was afraid it was going to mirror a Canadian case.) The story, though was a little bit repetitive in the middle and numbing, and it was her writing rather than the plot that kept me engrossed and reading. It ended with a good twist though and overall I enjoyed it and I intend to read more of her work.
Another Shari Lapena that didn't disappoint! Would love a sequel as well with Detective Salter-side character. Bryden, a wife and mother of a 3 year old girl goes missing. Sam, her husband, is overwhelmed and distraught. Her sister tries to hold the family together, keep her parents attended as well. Bryden isn't the kind of person to just leave..or is she?
