Beth Murphy is on the run…

For nearly a year, Beth has been planning for her escape. She's thought through everything -- a new look, new name and new city -- because one small slip and her husband will find her.

Sabine Hardison is missing…

A couple hundred miles away, Jeffrey returns home from a work trip to find his wife, Sabine, is missing. Wherever she is, she’s taken almost nothing with her. Her abandoned car is the only evidence the police have, and all signs point to foul play.

As the police search for leads, the case becomes more and more convoluted. Sabine’s carefully laid plans for her future indicate trouble at home, and a husband who would be better off with her gone. But are things really as clear cut as they seem? Where is Sabine? And who is Beth? The only thing that’s certain is that someone is lying and the truth won’t stay buried for long.

Ratings and reviews

Definitely a good book and worth the read. I wasn't a big fan of the writer's style, personally- but the story is good and keeps you thinking.

I figured the end early on, I was hoping for a more shocking twist as to all reviews here stated. it was a good read, but very predictable in my opinion.

A story of how a woman tried to break free from the cycle of violence in her marriage. The plot is smoothly laid, and even I-a life long muder mystery buff was fooled.
