Publisher Description
An ordinary snapshot causes a mother’s world to unravel in an instant. After picking up her two young children from school, Grace Lawson looks through a newly developed set of photographs. She finds an odd one in the pack: A mysterious picture from perhaps twenty years ago, showing four strangers she can’t identify. But there is one face she recognizes—that of her husband, from before she knew him.
When her husband sees the photo that night, he leaves their home and drives off without explanation. She doesn’t know where he’s going, or why he’s leaving. Or if he’s ever coming back. Nor does she realize how dangerous the search for him will be. Because there are others interested in both her husband’s past and that photo, including Eric Wu: A fierce, silent killer who will not be stopped from finding his quarry, no matter who or what stands in his way.
Her world turned upside down, filled with doubts about her herself and marriage, Grace must confront the dark corners of her own tragic past as she struggles to learn the truth, find her husband, and save her family.

Just One Look
Guess I wasn’t the only one who had an issue with Angela Dawe’s purposefully odd voice delivery for the narrator. When she was speaking as the main female character Grace, it was ok, but someone decided that the overall narrator’s voice should be ultra unique and chose a sort of sketch comedy like delivery. Someone else called it sing-song, which is a good description. For the first few minutes I had a sick feeling in my stomach that I had made a huge mistake paying for this audiobook. I eventually had no choice but to get used to it, and I finished the audiobook, which was generally entertaining. I’ve listed to samples of the narrator’s voice in other readings, and this isn’t typical of her normal way of speaking. The director of this audiobook is to blame, not the narrator. She did was she was told to do.

I could only make it half way through the book. The female narrator, Angela Dawe, sounds like she is whinning after each sentence ruining an otherwise good book.

The female narrator Angela Dawe simply ruined the audiobook. I'm a huge audiobook fan but just couldn't take the narrator's pacing, pauses between sentences, and sing-song delivery. Couldn't finish the audiobook.
