After losing her first husband to cancer, newlywed Abby has found love again with dashing widower Declan Cafferty. On honeymoon in Ireland where Declan grew up, the idyllic start to their marriage is everything Abby hoped it would be. Until the morning Declan vanishes without a trace.
Plunged into a nightmarish investigation, Abby becomes the prime suspect in his disappearance. But with no evidence to convict her, and no body to prove a crime has been committed, the Irish authorities have little choice but to let her return to the United States, while their missing person’s case goes cold.
Just when Abby has begun to put the pieces of her shattered life back together, she spots a woman she recognizes boarding a plane to San Francisco—a woman she was led to believe had drowned. It’s Declan’s first wife.
As Abby begins to dig for answers, a treacherous web of lies quickly unravels. The truth has been hiding in plain sight.
Someone will stop at nothing to take everything.
My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
I’ve read or listened to several of this author’s books, and this is my favorite so far. It’s full of suspense and twists. It’s a little slow getting started, but after the first 17% of the book, it’s difficult to put down.
The story is told from Abby’s POV, and I often questioned her decisions. No spoilers, so I won’t go any further with that statement, but there were times I wanted to yell at her or shake sense into her! I had several questions along the way, but every one of them was answered by the end.
If you like suspense and twists with a little heartbreak thrown in, this is the book for you! I’m looking forward to reading more of N.L. Hinkens’ novels.
