With more questions than answers and a case too knotted to unravel, Jessica suspects he’s protecting someone. Then she comes home one day and her husband utters the words no one ever wants to hear: Sit down...I have something to tell you.

Even the most flawless existence is only one loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient - and the biggest lie of his life.

A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

Summary
Soon to be a major TV series starring Jennifer Garner, produced by Reese Witherspoon's production company Hello Sunshine, makers of Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere.
It was the last thing he told me: protect her.
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his new wife, Hannah: protect her. Hannah knows exactly who Owen needs her to protect - his 16-year-old daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. And who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As her increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, his boss is arrested for fraud and the police start questioning her, Hannah realises that her husband isn't who he said he was. And that Bailey might hold the key to discovering Owen's true identity and why he disappeared. Together they set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen's past, they soon realise that their lives will never be the same again....
A beautiful and thrilling mystery, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng.

Good start but gets lost and then boring
Fabulous beginning and totally gripping, if absolutely zero characterisation. Good plotting. But when the plot falls apart the appalling writing gets seriously exposed. Dave writes every sentence three times as if for emphasis or clarity? God knows. I kept shouting at the stereo; 'Full stop! Stop there!' It was all this kind of thing; 'She wondered if he had a notebook, somewhere to write down what she was saying, to log all her words.' Just stop at notebook. Please. Please. Every single sentence was like this. Nonetheless, it was completely gripping until Mr Big shows up and it becomes ludicrous and boring. It's hard to keep up suspense and keep a plot interesting. Dave fails.

Long winded, drawling, repetitive and tiring
I wish I could be kinder, but really this was a waste of my time. Constantly repeated phrases ‘what are you talking about’ ‘he says’ ‘I said’ pad out this story that hardly has any true excitement or thrills. The ending was ok, as good as it could be I suppose, however the motives of the characters were sketchy and not satisfactory. A complex puzzle certainly, very much US centric of course. Hannah, the wood turner, is a realist challenged by the initially unexplainable disappearances her husband who she thought she knew. A man called Nicholas Ball is introduced as a Bad Man but comes across as caring and loving. A Texas Marshal knows what’s best but does he? So many people to register. Bailey is the best and ultimately likeable… you may like it more than I did.

Basic book about not very much
A good start - and then a weird story not written very well. I was (and still am) confused by the part at the beginning where Ethan is called Owen (or is it the other way round) when the 2 first meet. It didn’t make much sense - but then not a lot does in this book.
The later plot with the bad people is written very naively. I couldn’t buy into this and just wanted it to end.
The whole book just doesn’t come together and the last line is just painful. I would not recommend and can’t understand why this book has been so heavily hyped and promoted.
It honestly is dreadful.

Not as good as expected
I chose to listen to this book because Reese Witherspoon raved on the Instagram that this book is so good. She usually gets it right, but not this time.
Maybe Reese and I have different taste in book. This book left me feeling flat. No thrilling in the story.
The characters are 2 dimensional hence it’s hard for me to like the characters.
Just not for me.
