APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Powerhouse mystery author J.T. Ellison nails this Gone Girl–style domestic noir. The story follows debonair author Ethan Montclair, who’s rocked by the sudden disappearance of his wife, Sutton—which follows closely on the heels of the world-shattering death of the couple’s infant son. Worried sick, Ethan turns to the police, but he soon becomes the prime suspect in what looks like a classic domestic homicide. This brooding psychological thriller oozes high-stakes suspense. Twists? It’s chock full of those, too, but to say anything more would spoil the fun. Ellison uses multiple perspectives and time shifts to create an intriguing, nonlinear whodunit that consistently brings the chills as it races toward a dramatic ending.
Customer Reviews
Good Ending
This book was organized in such a weird way. This was my second “thrill” book. The story of Ethan was great but when Sutton came into the story, it seemed like it didn’t belong there. The ending was great and I appreciated how it all came together.
Very good plot twists
This book starts off kind of blah but seriously picks up pace similar to that of a train
Disappointing
I found the plot and dialogue to be pretty elementary and predictable. Kind of like a bad soap opera.
