When Kathryn Landry's domineering husband Neil disappears, it brings back a lot of memories of her father's disappearance years before. And in an odd twist of fate, the detective who comes to investigate Neil's disappearance was newly on the force when her father disappeared. Kathryn, while seemingly a very smart woman with her own successful design business, does suffer a bit from doing too many things without worry for the consequences. There were a lot of threads to the story, not all of them make it to the end, but is was a solid book when keeping to the story at hand. ( )

There is a new author in town that can send shivers down your spine with intrigue , secrets and characters that explode off the pages. I am very impressed with the crisp details that the author uses to give readers a glimpse into betrayal that is unexpected. As I started the book I was immediately drawn into a game that bordered on the edges of good vs evil. The book is so good I can't believe the author is introducing herself to the book world only now. The caliber of intrigue pushes the envelope with characters that bring you to conclusions only to find out you were wrong all along.

Kathryn is a very determined woman who I felt an instant connection to. Her past is not filled with all happy memories and the hurt and pain is still there. It is a pain so deep that she still remembers the details like they were yesterday. Is it possible for history to repeat itself? For Kathryn it seems the nightmare has started again when her husband disappears. I could feel her wavering as the past was catching up to the present. Is it possible to have your father disappear and now relive the same thing with your husband?

Kathryn's world is about to explode as she calls in the police to investigate her husband's whereabouts. This is where readers will follow a trail of secrets and betrayal that can lead to suspicion from several characters. I loved how the author was able to put doubt in readers minds as two men step up to help Kathryn out. Can they be trusted? I can't give anything away because readers need to read for themselves how dark a person can go to hide the truth. I will say that the ending was shocking and and left me wanting more books from the author. Ms. Davis you have knocked this out of the park. Welcome to the world of mystery writing with high octane suspense that leaves readers guessing till the end. I look forward to more books from you.

I received a copy of this book from Great Escape Booktours. The review is my own opinion. ( )
