I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I wanted to like this books a the premise definitely caught my eye, same as the cover, but unfortunately I couldn’t get into it.

Twisty thriller - a missing person or a murder mystery? This book kept me guessing throughout. 

As the book is written from multiple viewpoints and time lines we get to see the characters relationships develop, motives arise and, subsequently, lead to many twists and turns. From page to page you are led to think of different reasons why each character could be hiding something - means, motive, opportunity. 

The jumping around between characters and times can get a bit confusing, and I found I sometimes had to check back to who I was reading, but, despite this, the story carries well across this device and it didn't detract from a good read.

wow! what a page turning psychological thriller! this one sucked me in right from the start and had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book.

I don't know why, but I really didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I literally couldn't put it down and devoured it all in one sitting. This was indeed a page-turner from the very beginning.
I love a good mystery and I am always fascinated by them when they are to do with someone's friend. The prospect of not really knowing someone as well as you think both terrifies and intrigues me.

So what did I like?
- I liked the multiple perspectives we got as I felt this really worked to enhance the story. I feel like if it was just from Annabella's point of view, we wouldn't have got the level of mystery as we did from reading from the others.
- I didn't expect the ending. Although I could see the clever clues Joy had placed throughout the book, the ending went into a direction I didn't imagine so that, I commend.
- This was equal parts fast-paced and slow-burning. I felt like Joy gave us enough to keep flicking to the next page but didn't dump a load of answers at us.

Overall, I would highly recommend this mystery/thriller to anyone who wants a fun, quick read that grips you with suspense.
4 stars.

On the 21st August Tabitha Rice disappeared without a trace. All the signs point to murder, but no signs point to a murderer. The easiest answer is her husband, Rick. But he protests his innocence and there is little proof he is the murderer.Annabella knows there is more to the story than what the police are telling. Tabitha was her best friend and she vows to uncover the truth. 
Thanks to NetGalley and Aria for giving me an advance copy.

Devoured this book in just one sitting. I really have been completely engaged in this book. I have loved the different POV in this one.
