Summary

For seven years I believed my husband was dead–until the note arrived this morning....

The day her husband, Tom, disappeared, Rachel’s life fell apart. Childhood sweethearts with two young children, they’d done everything together. And then, suddenly, Tom was gone. Without a word, without a note, without a single sign of where he might be, leaving Rachel to survive alone.

Now, nearly seven years later, Rachel has come to terms with life as a single mother, caring for their children who still secretly long for their father’s miraculous return.

But in his absence, Tom’s hidden life started to emerge, and Rachel has discovered things a wife should never have to. A secret life that betrayed everything Rachel thought she knew. Not knowing where he’d gone was no longer the main worry keeping her awake at night–it seemed much more likely he’d been silenced. Forever.

Until today, when–with just one month until Tom is to be declared legally dead–Rachel receives a note in handwriting she recognizes with dread: My darling, I’ve missed you so much. Give me a chance to explain. I’m coming home.

The husband she’d lost is alive.

And so are all his secrets....

A totally addictive and suspenseful thriller, perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, T.M. Logan, and Lisa Jewell.

Not for me, sorry.

A weak storyline with an unbelievable plot. Guessed the ending early on. The plot repeats itself over and over again. Boring and predictable.

Gripping

I enjoyed listening to this, The second half wasn't as gripping as the first. But still a very good listen.
