Gripping, hard to put down and full of twists!

Janine wakes up to a crying baby and wonders where Max, her musician boyfriend is. She tends to their daughter and goes back to sleep. In the morning, Max is still not home and is not answering his phone. Anxious and sleep deprived she begins making calls. No one seems too worried about Max being gone, but Janine knows that something isn’t right. This is out of character for him. He is a devoted father and loving partner. He has been supportive to her as she struggles with being a new mother. She knows Max wouldn’t just leave; something must be wrong!

When the police show up asking for Max, Janine is shocked. She was going to file a missing person’s report, but what the police tell her is beyond shocking. Max was seen at a bar where a woman was found murdered! Why did he leave without telling her? Who was this woman?

Reeling, Janine slowly learns that Max had secrets, things she never knew. But can she judge him when she has a secret herself?

Who much do you know the person you love? What impact do secrets have?

I found this book to be a fast read which kept me on my toes. I enjoyed the mystery and thought I had things figured out, but the reveal took me by surprise. Secrets always have a way of coming out in the end.

Another solid book by Konen. I look forward to what she writes next.
