About this audiobook

Darby Kane thrills with this twisty domestic suspense novel that asks one central question: shouldn't a dead husband stay dead?

Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn’t what she seems.

A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila’s husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it’s discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the connection, if there even is one. Little do they know they might be stumbling over only part of the truth....

With the small town in an uproar, everyone is worried about the whereabouts of their beloved high school teacher. Everyone except Lila, his wife. She’s definitely confused about her missing husband but only because she was the last person to see his body, and now it’s gone.

Ratings and reviews

I agree with the previous review...the narrator is so awful I can't even continue with this book. I'm very interested in the book, but I'll either have to read it myself or just look up spoilers to find out what happens.

The narrator is just awful. I didn’t enjoy the book as much as I would have had it been read by someone else. Her voice, tone, delivery are just horrendous!

Another damn good book!! This is a good "edge of your seat" thriller. Worth it!
