The rain hammers the glass outside. My husband has stoked the wood burner with a fresh supply of logs, and I’ve just put a joint of beef in the oven. It’s the most clichéd Sunday afternoon ever, and it’s the most heavenly one, too. Little do I know that days later, the ash in the fire will be all that remains of us…
My perfect life…
I thought I had it all – a dream job as a doctor in small town, a stunning home and a family I adore – but that illusion shattered the moment my husband Jeremy left on a work trip and vanished without a trace. Now my son and I are all alone in the world.
My missing husband…
My best friend thinks Jeremy had an accident up in the mountains, that I’ll never see him again and need to move on. I know he loves us too much to ever abandon us, but my head is still spinning with the texts I found on his phone before he left. Did I ever really know the man I married?
The night I can’t remember…
Everything changed the night of the medical conference weeks before Jeremy disappeared. I wrack my brains for answers, but my memory goes blank after my first drink. Ever since, I’ve felt like I’m being followed and can’t explain why panic thunders in my chest every time I see my newest patient. If he’s not local to the village, then why does he seem so familiar? And so dangerous?
As I piece together the shards of what really happened that fateful evening, only one thing can possibly be true: everyone is lying, even me…

Review
I don’t know who is responsible for inventing new words in a language, but I think in this case I will have to do it myself. There are a lot of words describing how great something is, but in my opinion there aren’t enough by far where this book is concerned. So here I go, inventing a new one. It was amzitastic.
This time I really, really thought I knew it all. I was so convinced that I had figured it out, but I wanted to see if I was spot on. I wanted it black on white. I wanted it confirmed so I could boast about how clever I was.
Whether I was receiving the gold medal or had to admit defeat, I won’t give away. I don’t want to spoil your fun, because you absolutely have to read this book.
I loved Dr Miller. She is so emotional one minute and can keep her cool like a real ice queen the next.
The world can be one very cruel place. One moment of distraction can change your whole life in the worst possible way…
The author created a story that will make the world around you disappear. Please make sure you have time when you start reading. I assure you are not going to appreciate it when someone or something is trying to drag you away. 5 stars
Thank you, Samantha Hayes and Bookouture
