Darby Kane thrills with this twisty domestic suspense novel that asks one central question: shouldn't a dead husband stay dead? Lila Ridgefield lives in an idyllic college town, but not everything is what it seems. Lila isn’t what she seems. A student vanished months ago. Now, Lila’s husband, Aaron, is also missing. At first these cases are treated as horrible coincidences until it’s discovered the student is really the third of three unexplained disappearances over the last few years. The police are desperate to find the connection, if there even is one. Little do they know they might be stumbling over only part of the truth…. With the small town in an uproar, everyone is worried about the whereabouts of their beloved high school teacher. Everyone except Lila, his wife. She’s definitely confused about her missing husband but only because she was the last person to see his body, and now it’s gone.

This was such an unexpectedly enjoyable book. I kept thinking I knew what was going to happen but it the twists kept me guessing. I also love morally grey characters.
one part Pretty Girls, one part Behind Closed Doors, overarching feminist themes + a not-so-ambiguous ending? yep. this is a perfect thriller.
Yuck.
Didn't like it at all.
Lots of plot holes. Weird writing. Too many perspectives. Random podcast episodes that pop up throughout the writing.
Ick.
All the characters were unlikable and the author portrayed all men to be misogynistic monsters. Very annoying.
