Reviews-
May 15, 2021 Another chilly thriller (following The Other Mrs., 2020) from New York Times best-selling author Kubica. People disappear without a trace, more often than we would like to believe. A profusion of domestic secrets lurks behind the disappearance of three people in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in the Midwest. First, Shelby Tebow, the mother of a newborn baby, goes missing. Her abusive husband is immediately suspected. Soon after, just blocks away, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish. The police come up empty-handed, and the cases go cold. Shockingly, Delilah staggers home after being locked in a basement for 11 years. Just how far will some people go to hide the nasty business in their pasts? That question is finally answered here in an impossible-to-see-it-coming manner, devastating for everyone, including the reader. Kubica is known for her unpredictable stories, and this time out she takes readers to a whole new level of deceit and irony. Recommended for fans of Lisa Unger's Confessions on the 7:45 (2020).

A new mother named Shelby Tebow goes missing one night in a generally safe, pleasant neighborhood. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter Delilah disappear as well. Soon, Meredith's body is discovered along with a suicide note indicating that Delilah will never be found, but 11 years later Delilah escapes from the basement where she's been kept with a young boy. Kubica's (The Good Girl) latest starts strong, with multiple points of view, plenty of red herrings, and connections between the characters that are not immediately apparent. Unfortunately, a series of ludicrous plot twists keep it from sticking the landing. Brittany Pressley, Jennifer Jill Araya, Gary Tiedemann, and Jesse Vilinsky capably voice the various characters. VERDICT Best for loyal fans of the author or readers of over-the-top domestic suspense.--Stephanie Klose, Library Journal
