“Get ready for a bit of whiplash in mega-bestselling Feeney’s seventh thriller, superbly read by British actors Armitage and Middleton.”—Booklist

The million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists Alice Feeney returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage. . .

. . . and revenge.

Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible: a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.

Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t.

Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do.

Kind of Fun

The story was fun, but so very far fetched. I find books scarier if they could actually happen .

of all the books my last favorite

it feels almost sacrilegious to leave a not glowing review for Alice, but the story was just so all over the place and confusing and not a good way. I knew that no matter how it ended it wasn't going to measure up. I think just the story didn't lend itself to a reader's ear. I didn't hate it but it certainly wasn't my favorite of the bunch

This plot of this book was too far fetched.

This book felt off all the way to the end. I kept waiting for connections for some of the stories that never came, even at the end. Some of the dialogue was very repetitive. It was disappointing.

performance good, story started great ended horrible

i loved the first 80% of the book and then once the conclusion started it just kept getting worse and worse. the very end was terrible and I wished I hadn't read the last chapter.

Woah

This was a great story. Lots of interesting plot points got you thinking. I liked how the author switched between the husbands and wife’s view points without it being annoying or confusing. Good twists, I didn’t want to put it down. I wish there was a chat feature on here like a mini book club as I want to discuss the end but don’t want to ruin it! It’s good, def recommend
