Summary

The USA Today and Kindle best seller.

The perfect couple...or the perfect lie?

A devoted wife....

A year ago, Gemma met the love of her life, Danny. Since then, their relationship has been perfect. But one evening, Danny doesn’t return home.

A missing husband....

Gemma turns to the police. She is horrified by what she discovers – a serial killer is on the loose in Bristol. When she sees photos of the victims she is even more stunned...they all look just like Danny. Who would you believe?

But the police are suspicious. Why has no one apart from Gemma heard from Danny in weeks? Why is there barely a trace of him in their flat? Is she telling them the truth, or is this marriage hiding some very dark secrets?

Good Story, just a couple of bits I didn't get.

Good Story, I just didn't get why the police didn't investigate the gym insident properly, also, why they didn't seem concerned about Gemma's welfare much at her house. Apart from that I enjoyed it. shame all books feel they have to be so politically correct now

No meaningful story

I thought this was going to be clever with interesting twist or twists but really the only reason there is any story is because of totally inept policing that is just not credible. Pleased it was a £1.99 special
offer as it would not be worth a credit.

Light hearted more than edge of seat but a good read.

It wasn’t the gripping thriller I was hoping for and the characters weren’t particularly deep. However I did enjoy it as a light hearted who dunnit.

a little predictable.

I had kind of guessed the ending a third of the way in. it was a good story, it didn't take me long to Finnish although I can't say I was gripped.

it was easy to listen too.

Good story, keeps you guessing

When I started this book I was worried the story might be a little obvious, but as it went on I settled in to the story and felt it wasn't too predictable.
