Publisher's summary

In this riveting tale of psychological suspense, a divorce lawyer risks her career, her sanity, and her life when she falls into an illicit, all-consuming affair with her client - who becomes the primary suspect in his estranged wife’s sudden disappearance.

Young divorce lawyer Francine Day has methodically built her career doing everything right. She’s one big case away from securing her place among London’s legal elite. But when she meets her new client, Martin Joy, the natural caution that has protected Francine and fueled her rise melts away. Powerless to fight the irresistible magnetism between them, client and counsel tumble into a blistering affair that breaks every rule.

Though Martin insists his marriage is over, Francine doesn’t believe him. Certain details he’s told her don’t quite add up. Consumed with a passion she cannot control and increasingly obsessed with Martin’s relationship with his wife, Donna, Francine follows the woman one night...and discovers her having dinner with her supposedly soon-to-be-ex-husband.

The next morning, Francine awakens in her neighbor’s apartment with blood on her clothes and no recollection of what transpired after she spied Donna and Martin together. Then Francine receives more devastating news: Martin’s wife has vanished. That dinner was the last place anyone has seen Donna Joy alive.

Suddenly, Francine finds herself caught in a dangerous labyrinth of deception, lies, and secrets, in which one false move could lead to her undoing. What happened that night and why can’t Francine remember? Where is Donna and who is responsible for her disappearance? The further Francine goes to find answers, the tighter the net seems to draw - around her lover, herself, and the life she’s meticulously built.

The climactic buildup, fizzled at the end

I really enjoyed the book all the way through. Good character establishment, and what felt like would be useful, and good detail and insight to the ending. However, that wasn’t really the case. Sadly, the big mystery revealed was so anticlimactic, that I actually had to go back over it again, to make sure there wasn’t more somewhere, hidden in the text, that I had missed.
This is just my opinion, of course; but the “big reveal” was a bit more of a “big let down”.

All in all pretty good.

Pretty good, can be slow going at times though. The narrator did a good job.

I'm not the target audience

To be frank, I'm 3 hours in and I'm sure it gets good later, but Im really not into the romantic drama build up and I personally don't care about the main character enough to find out what happens later. This feels more like a romantic drama than a psychological thriller, but again, I'm 3 hours in so I more likely gave up before it gets good. I don't want to give it a bad rating because I'm not the audience this book is looking to please, but I didn't get the "on the edge of your seat" experience I was expecting if that's what you're looking for, or at least if there is it takes a LOOOOONG time.
