Same week, different world … Kai Janssen leaves her sexy, wealthy husband and their luxurious penthouse, and vanishes into thin air.
Well, what can I say about this book? Actually, not very much! It’s the kind of book you are best to know not very much about before you start reading. You can read the official summary of the book below but basically it’s about two women who go missing around the same time. While the police investigate, they discover a connection between the disappearances. Much of the plot takes place in March 2020 and we all know what happened then! The pandemic isn’t a main feature of the plot though, but is alluded to and to a certain extent affects how the police investigation goes.

I listened to this as an audiobook and I raced through it in less than a week, which is quick for me. I was absolutely gripped by the book and couldn’t imagine where the story would go. With the narrative being told from the points of view of the wives, the husbands, friends and the police, it was really fast paced as the focus moved from one character to another.
Both husbands seem distraught, claiming they have no idea where their wives have gone.
This is a book which kept me guessing right up to the end. I didn’t know who could be believed, who could be trusted and I just had to keep listening to find out. This is a clever book with many unexpected twists and a plot which will keep you hooked from start to finish. And oh that ending!
If you like the sound of this book, it’s one you’ll find on many supermarket shelves as well as in bookshops. Or, of course, it’s available for e-readers too. Be warned though, make sure you have plenty time for reading because once you start, I think you’ll find it hard to put this one down!
