About this ebook

The gripping new psychological thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Everyone Here Is Lying. *NOW AN INSTANT GLOBAL BESTSELLER!*

'Stunning: fiendishly plotted with whiplash twists and turns' LUCY FOLEY, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Guest List.


She didn’t see it coming . . . And neither will you.
----

Bryden and Sam have it all - thriving careers, a smart apartment, 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 nursery.

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 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.

How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave the building at all?

With every minute that passes – and as questions swirl around their community – Bryden and Sam’s past seems a little less perfect, their apartment building less safe, their friends and relatives no longer quite so reliable . . .
