When a beloved wife and mother disappears, a luxurious condo building transforms into a potential crime scene, and the investigation begins: can the detectives find her before it's too late?
Bryden and Sam have it all: thriving careers, a smart apartment in a luxury condominium, supportive friends and a cherished daughter. The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Sam receives a call at his office. Bryden—working from home that day—has failed to collect their daughter from daycare. Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s car in the underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment her laptop is open on the table, her cell phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. It’s as if she just walked out.
A gripping suspense novel!
When the book begins, Bryce is running late to pick up her daughter from daycare when she is involved in a fender bender. Derek, the owner of the Tesla, is a handsome guy—and luckily, he doesn’t seem mad about the accident.
Six weeks later, Bryce’s husband, Sam, gets a call from daycare: Bryce has failed to pick up Clara from school. Sam is upset, but when he arrives home, he finds Bryce’s car in the garage, her laptop open, and her phone on the table as well. Sam immediately calls the police to report his wife missing.
Detective Jayne Salter is assigned to the case. She immediately suspects Sam—after all, isn’t the husband always the first suspect?
Several characters emerge as possible suspects in Bryce’s disappearance, but what really happened to her? Is she alive? Why would someone want her gone?
She Didn’t See It Coming had me flipping between two suspects. Almost until the very end, I kept changing my mind about who was involved.
I feel it would be a waste if Shari Lapena doesn’t write a second book in this universe. Several characters still have more story to tell.
Cliffhanger: No
4/5 Fangs
