Publisher's summary

From a master of suspense comes a chilling novel that explores the dangers lurking closer than you think. Because even in the perfect family, you never know what is going on behind closed doors….

This is what happened… It was a case guaranteed to spark a media feeding frenzy—a young mother, blond and pretty, disappears without a trace from her South Boston home, leaving behind her four-year-old daughter as the only witness and her handsome, secretive husband as the prime suspect. In the last six hours…

But from the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, she senses something off about the picture of wholesome normality the couple worked so hard to create. On the surface, Jason and Sandra Jones are like any other hardworking young couple raising a four-year-old child. But it is just under the surface that things grew murky. Of the world as I knew it….

With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and the media firestorm building, Jason Jones seems more intent on destroying evidence and isolating his daughter than on searching for his “beloved” wife. Is the perfect husband trying to hide his guilt—or just trying to hide? And will the only witness to the crime be the killer’s next victim?

Loved that there were different narrators for each character so you could easily tell which character you were listening to.

Very suspenseful and there were so many twists and turns up until the very end.

#1 This was extremely good to listen to at work. Just like listening to radio. Voices were very easy to listen to, could have done without some of the language.

Exceptional!

I have read almost all of Lisa Gardner's books. this is by far one of my favorites. before reading this one, read say goodbye first. these two bucks are amazing and I read both of them within a week. if you like Mysteries and thrillers this is a book for you! it will not disappoint!

Excellent! Suspenseful! Loved it!

This book kept me guessing the entire time. The narration was perfect. The story line intriguing. I definitely read more books by this author.

Excellent!!

A beautifully written page turner with character’s layers revealed as story unfolds. Enjoyed every minute. Strongly recommend.

Interesting

It took awhile to get into this story.
I find it strange that the author used a portion of the story to repeat in Catch Me ( tho it went the same character in both books)
Catch me was a much better book than this one.

I loved this one!

this was a great story! that keep me guessing. if you like crime books it's a must.
