“Intricate and nuanced—on par with the best top-flight psychological suspense.” —L.A. Times

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

From master of suspense Lisa Unger comes a riveting thriller about a chance encounter that unravels a stunning web of lies.

Selena Murphy is commuting home on the train when she strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat. The woman introduces herself as Martha and soon confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again.

Then the nanny disappears.

As Selena is pulled into the mystery of what happened, and as the fractures in her marriage grow deeper, she begins to wonder, who was Martha really? But she is hardly prepared for what she’ll discover…

Looking for more gripping suspense? Don't miss Lisa Unger's chilling locked-room thriller, Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six, coming November 2022!

    It seems that the masterful writing gives glimmers and hints right up to the very end. It was fun, saying ‘told ya!’ to my reading self. The story is a puzzle with pieces doled out carefully to the reader, and as the pieces fall into place it all makes sense - a complete and full picture. I like jigsaw puzzles that come in a box, with a picture on the cover. This book is a jigsaw puzzle alright, but there’s no cover and hardly any edge pieces. Eventually they all fall into place and at the last a very satisfying yes!

    This is a well crafted, multiple point-of-view novel with some clever interwoven storylines. The novel also touches on the complexity of human relationships, especially as pertains to trying to figure out when or if to leave someone when kids are involved. Entertaining. Worth the time and money.

    Overall, this was a really good book. The plot was engaging and always interesting although there were some areas of needless filler. In my opinion, there was also something missing. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Perhaps I still had too many unanswered questions in the end.
  • A top rate mystery

    Intriguing and twisty, this was a good book. The characters were well fleshed out and you felt like neighbors to the Murphy household. Especially like the many facets of Pearl. Many strong women and flawed men, but you cheered on this ladies. Highly recommend as a fan of Lisa Unger, will buy more of her titles. A cautionary tale for rich, cheating husbands.
