What to expect

An unmissable thriller that readers are calling ‘the best book ever’

‘A darkly compelling thriller that’s almost impossible to put down after reading the first page’ Sunday Express

*****

Lost. Missing. Murdered?

And both her husbands are suspects…

The entire nation is obsessed with the scandal of bigamist Kylie Gillingham’s disappearance. Being married to two different men was a huge risk. But did she run away or was she taken? And is she dead or alive?

Both her husbands insist she was their everything, until she vanished. But DC Clements knows love is a shiver away from hate and either can make people do the cruellest things.

Only one person knew her secret. Did they want her to pay the ultimate price?

The sensational thriller from Number One bestseller Adele Parks will keep you gripped from the first page to the last.
