DESCRIPTION:

Your husband was involved in a fatal accident.

One horrific sentence, delivered in an impersonal phone call, changes Celine Thompson’s life in a second. But when she’s asked to identify his body, what she discovers sends everything she thought she knew about her life crashing down.

This man is not my husband.

But who was the man who died driving Tate’s car? How did he have Tate’s possessions and, more importantly, why do they sport identical tattoos?

We’re going to find him.

When Tate doesn’t answer his phone or arrive home after the accident, Celine fears the worst. Still holding on to hope her husband may be alive, Celine is desperate to track Tate down and figure out what’s going on before it’s too late. The only problem? There are dark truths waiting to come out that are so atrocious she won’t ever be able to look away from them.

As she begins to put together the pieces of the mysterious day her husband went missing, it paints a picture of a man she never really knew. Is it possible Tate is still alive, or is she wasting her time searching for someone who will never be found? And if he is alive, how will they ever survive all that she’s unearthed?

With time running out, Celine must push the limits of the law and her safety to shed light on the secrets that have been hiding in the dark corners of their life together. In doing so, she may just uncover the final missing piece to the puzzle surrounding her husband’s fate.

Someone is lying.

Someone is missing.

Someone is guilty.

In this menacing, dark, and completely twisted domestic thriller, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin deep dives into a marriage riddled with lies, a couple with wicked secrets, and a woman who will stop at nothing to discover the truth about her husband’s disappearance.

Forget everything you think you know…



MY THOUGHTS:

Celine receives the worst kind of news. Her husband has been killed and she needs to identify his body. When she looks at the photos of the body, she realizes that it is not him, although the tattoos are very familiar. Why is that and where is her husband Tate?

Someone is lying.

Someone is missing.

Someone is guilty.

These three sentences that I took directly from the blurb sets the tone for this thrilling read by Kiersten Modglin. Celine’s husband Tate is definitely missing, but that death notice opened a whole new batch of questions. Can Celine be the one to discover what is really going on? With secrets and twists in this compelling read by Modglin, I was utterly intrigued from beginning to end.

Many thanks to Kiersten Modglin and NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
