Resumen del Editor

A return from the past knocks a family dangerously off-balance in a novel of spiraling suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door.

Weak, broken, and emaciated, it’s Luca’s first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should’ve ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they’ve built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet - it’s the least they can do.

But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt’s family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that’s especially unnerving? Why hasn’t she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying.

Because Lydia isn’t the only one with secrets.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Kent sets her hook so deep and springs such a dumbfounding series of surprises that very few readers will want to interrupt their reading for anything less than a house fire.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Quick Read

This book read like a beach read. It was brief with a predictable path. I skipped over several chapters in the middle to get to the end.

Crazy twist truly surprising

I really like this book I’ve read her work before and she never disappoints hands-down I think this might’ve been the best book I’ve read

Just Ok

The story was ok. I wasn’t as shocked as other reviewers were by the twist (although I was a little caught off guard by the first twist). The narration was hard to get through. I wasn’t a fan of either reader.

a little unbelievable, but worth the listen

narration good... found the story a little hard to believe, but if you just go with it, it was entertaining

Great plot!

At first I was frustrated with the main character; however, as the plot unfolded…my jaw hit the floor! I was hit with another whammy when they were at the cabin towards the end. Did not see that coming. I don’t want to give any spoilers away…but it’s worth a credit. Some reviews are negative towards the narration, I loved it. The voices fit each character PERFECTLY!

Loved this book! Lots of twists and turns!

Love this book, I could not stop listening! Lots of unexpected turns! Worth listening to!

Mediocre at Best

Liked the premise of the plot, but it fell short at the end. Very predictable.

Very good!

Started out a bit slow while explaining the backstory and I thought it was going to be predictable. It turned out to have a twist that I didn’t see coming. Narrator voices were excellent.

Excellent plot

This was a great plot. The only issue I had was sometimes it was hard to tell if the characters were thinking or talking.

Good story, confusing narrative

Overall a good story that held our attention throughout. At times it was a little confusing — not sure if the character was speaking or thinking the narrative— but overall still enjoyable.
