Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmum to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband Mark says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She simply went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.

Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman, Daan, vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamourous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.     

DC Clements knows that people disappear all the time – far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run towards, others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds, their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the DC believes they might be.

How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be.

My Thoughts:

I have not read many of Adele’s books but I certainly will be from now on, I flew through this book and couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen. The story is about two women who go missing but in strange circumstances, there is nothing to say they would of just upped and left. They are both happily married and Leigh has two step sons and loves them dearly, so why would she leave? I like how the stories run parallel together, Kai vanishes in the same week Leigh does, what has happened to the two women? will they ever be reunited with their families? Lots of questions remain unanswered until for the police, but time is not on their side, can they find the women before it is too late? A very tense and gripping read that you wont want to put down, I certainly didn’t.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review. Thank you to Netgalley and HQ for sending me a copy.
