Publisher Description
"Yet another stick of literary dynamite from Adele Parks: chilling, gripping and entirely unputdownable." —Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author
HAPPY. MARRIED. MISSING.
Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.
Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman Daan and vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.
Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time—far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward and others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be.
How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be.
#1 Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks returns with her most provocative, compelling book to date.

Customer Reviews
Oh the double standards
The book started of kind of boring and didn’t end the way I would have liked. I became interested when it was clear that one woman was married to 2 men, turnabout is fair play for many of the men who lead this double life without a bit of guilt. I knew who the abductor was from the start and disappointed that another woman had to be the main character’s judge and jury. I did feel for the hurt and pain the main character cause both her husbands and her children.
many . It was like the author just stopped writing.
No stars. Bad ending. Too many things left with explanation. Seems like the author just stopped writing. It’s really too bad as I have enjoyed other books by this same author.

Arthur condones murder?
 Worst, ending to a book, ever! Ever! Ever! Author apparently condone murder, and doesn’t know how to use a resolution. Did I mention this has the worst ending ever?
