Summary

A return from the past knocks a family dangerously off-balance in a novel of spiraling suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door.

Weak, broken, and emaciated, it’s Luca’s first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should’ve ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they’ve built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet - it’s the least they can do.

But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt’s family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that’s especially unnerving? Why hasn’t she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying.

Because Lydia isn’t the only one with secrets.

Critic reviews

“Kent sets her hook so deep and springs such a dumbfounding series of surprises that very few readers will want to interrupt their reading for anything less than a house fire.”Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Easy listen, quite far fetched

If you’re looking for something to pass the time whilst you drive or do the housework this is the one for you!
It’s very far fetched and unrealistic! The story unfolds
at a quick pace.
Light fun if you can look past the glaring ridiculousness of it all !

Good Story

I really enjoyed the story itself, if a little far fetched, and the twist was unexpected. I struggled with the narration of 'Lydia'. The intonation seemed wrong and was all read on the same 'sickly sweet' level, even when she was talking about her experiences at the cabin. It was difficult to listen to but I persevered because of the storyline.
