One of it's kind. 5 ⭐.
Shari Lapena, the queen of domestic suspense, returns with She Didn’t See It Coming—a gripping, high-stakes thriller that turns a picture-perfect life into a chilling mystery. With her signature style of rapid pacing and psychological tension, Lapena crafts a twisty tale that keeps readers glued to the pages. Bryden and Sam appear to have it all—prestigious careers, a happy marriage, a sweet daughter, and a sleek condo in a luxury building. But their perfect life is shattered when Bryden suddenly vanishes without a trace. Bryden’s car is still in the underground garage. Her phone, laptop, and keys are all in place. There’s no sign of forced entry or struggle. It’s like she simply vanished from their secure apartment in the middle of the day. As the investigation unfolds, secrets begin to leak. Can Sam really account for every minute of his day? Is the condo building as secure as it seems? And what are the neighbors hiding behind their polished façades? As detectives dig deeper and the media frenzy grows, the truth about Bryden, Sam, and those around them begins to unravel—and it’s darker than anyone imagined.
Overall, She Didn’t See It Coming is a masterclass in domestic noir—eerie, twisty, and impossible to put down. Shari Lapena once again proves why she's one of the most compelling voices in psychological thrillers today. Fans of The Couple Next Door and Gone Girl will devour this.
