When I read something so gripping, stressing and unputdownable like this book I normally start biting my nails, arm and end my painful journey ends with bite marks on my triceps. But this time, I couldn’t stop and left bite marks on our couches and fantasized five million ways of killing a sister-in-law Ella who seems one of the most irritating characters I’ve ever seen for long time! Sarah was hard to like; she appeared to be flighty, irresponsible, and over-the-top. All of these characteristics were likely increased by her use of ketamine, which is also not something you can just quit. She came through in the end for her sister, but still was not a likable character. When Sarah goes missing, Kate turns to James, Sarah's husband, to find some answers....but the more they delve, the more becomes apparent. Clare and the family go on holidays. The beauty of Italian coast is supposed to help them heal and feel better, after all - family is the most important thing.Wow!

The ending was most unexpected. Sheesh I should have guessed it. But what can I say, Sue Watson had hidden it in plain sight...

From the bestselling author of The Secret Mother and The Child Next Door, this absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller will keep you guessing with every heart-stopping twist. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and The Sister, this book is for you. Clare is ready for a break. In fact, she needs one. She and her husband, Dan are going to use their Family Holiday at an Italian Villa to work on their marriage. It seems that Dan can't quite keep his hands and eyes to himself. After his last affair, they really need this time for them. It is one those books that hold no great mystery, and written rather lightly, simply, but they get you swept away like a big wave, and before you know you are sailing through the book. A wife who vanishes while making dinner leaves no traces at all. This had me from the off! I was hooked. I was intrigued to know where Sarah was and what had happened. This is a total 'one more chapter' book. Yes, one more chapter until I had finished it that is!

The book felt very choppy, and was hard to get invested in. I thought the premise of the story was interesting, but it just didn’t connect with me. Overall, I was disappointed. The story may have went repetitive at times especially the two members of this family who can't seem to stand each other but thankfully it wasn't boring. The twists were also good. Nothing too insane nor crazy but will still leave you dumbfounded just like me. For finally all of these made sense. I figured like two of them to give myself some credit.
