This explosive thriller from international bestseller Adele Parks examines what it is to be a family and the dangerous lengths that people will go to for those they love.
Synopsis:
Lost. Missing. Murdered? How do you find a woman who didn’t exist?
It's a case that has gripped a nation: A woman with a shocking secret is missing, presumed dead. And her two husbands are suspects in her murder.
DCI Clements knows the dark side of human nature and that love can make people do treacherous things. You can’t presume anything when it comes to crimes of the heart. Until a body is found, this scandalous and sad case remains wide open.
Stacie Jones lives a quiet life in a small village, nursed by her father as she recovers from illness, and shielded from any news of the outside world. But their reclusive life is about to be shattered.
How are these families linked, and can any of them ever rebuild their lives in the wake of tragedy?
Review: this is actuall a sequel to the authpr's previous book, "Woman Last Seen", which i had nOt read before. it might have been better to have read the other book, as while this one initially held my interest, I soon got bored with it, after figuring out what was going on, and the police procedural part just seemed tedious to me. I is told from different perspectives so it makes it easier to pick up and put down, but it just didn't zing for me. for those who have read the first book, it resolves an open ending that was left hanging there.
