Synopsis
People don't just disappear without a trace…
Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey
and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where
Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community.
Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more
questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.
Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to
know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they'll
find…
In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense and New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new
level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth
buried.
Review:
Thank you to
Netgalley & Harlequin
Publishing for gifting me this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a twisty turny book that left you guessing along the way. Some
of the chapters are set now and others 11 years ago when 2 local woman went
missing weeks apart in a small community.
Shelby Tebow is in a broken marriage, her husband cheats on her but she
doesn't have much to say on it since she is doing the same thing. She goes out
for a run and disappears. Meredith Dickey is a Doula who goes missing
weeks later, only Meredith wasn't alone, she was with her 6 year old daughter
Delilah who is also missing.
11 years later Delilah is found and now everyone wants to know what happened.
Malnourished, scared and broken Delilah is not the girl they once
knew.
There are many layers to this mystery, as it twists and turns and slowly
unravels. Not only the past unravels, the present unravels as well as Delilah
tries to remember what happened to her. Her brother, Leo tries to help her but
even he has a hard time connecting to her.
The beginning and middle of the book move along at a good pace but the ending
picks up and speeds you headlong into the surprising conclusion. This is the
first book I've read by this author and I will be picking another of her books
soon. I really loved how she unpeeled each layer of this story allowing
us to follow along and learn what happened as the characters learn it.
