----
Bryden and Sam have it all - thriving careers, a smart apartment, supportive friends and a cherished daughter. The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Sam receives a call at his office. Bryden – working from home that day - has failed to collect their daughter from nursery.
Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s car in the underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment her laptop is open on the table, her phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. It’s as if she just walked out.
How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave the building at all?
With every minute that passes – and as questions swirl around their community – Bryden and Sam’s past seems a little less perfect, their apartment building less safe, their friends and relatives no longer quite so reliable . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A woman with a seemingly idyllic life in the suburbs of Albany, N.Y., is brutally murdered in Lapena's solid latest (after What Have You Done?). When Bryden Frost fails to pick up her daughter from day care, her friends and family start to panic. After the police find nothing missing from her condo, they send a K9 unit to search the entire complex. Soon, they discover Bryden's dead body encased in a plastic bag and stuffed inside a suitcase in one of the building's storage lockers. Over the next week, the police—led by detective Jayne Salter—question several suspects, each with their own secrets. There's Bryden's neighbor, who's warding off accusations of assault; her sister, who's been jealous of Bryden since birth; her best friend, who's become a little too entangled in Bryden's home life; and her husband, who's prone to violent outbursts and acting visibly nervous. Lapena lays out the puzzle with a sure hand, and ties everything together in a satisfactory conclusion. This gets the job done. Agents: Felicity Blunt and Rose Pierce, Curtis Brown U.K.
Customer Reviews
Good read
Good story, well written. Saw the twist coming but enjoyed this all
The same.
A page turner with a DARK TWIST you didn’t see coming!
Amazing book from one of the best writers of crime in the business. Never fails to hit the right notes from chapter to chapter. I devoured this book in 3 sittings and now my wife is reading. Honestly I’d rate it one of the best books I’ve read this year (85 now)
Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
