Publisher's summary

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Murder Rule comes an emotional novel of suspense about two families at war.

Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NINA?

Nobody knows. Simon’s explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn’t add up. Nina’s parents push the police for answers, and Simon’s parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm that quickly ramps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign.

HOW FAR WILL HIS FAMILY GO TO KEEP HIM SAFE?

Soon, facts are lost in a swirl of accusation and counter-accusation. Everyone chooses a side, and the story goes viral, fueled by armchair investigators and wild conspiracy theories and illustrated with pretty pictures taken from Nina’s social media accounts. Journalists descend on their small Vermont town, followed by a few obsessive "fans."

HOW FAR WILL HER FAMILY GO TO GET TO THE TRUTH?

Nina’s family is under siege, but they never lose sight of the only thing that really matters—finding their daughter. Out-gunned by Simon’s wealthy, powerful family, Nina’s parents recognize that if playing by the rules won’t get them anywhere, it’s time to break them.

Heart wrenching

A story about missing children a story about murder and parental love. Spell binding I listened nearly non - stop. The separate narrators made it all more comfortable no getting caught thinking the narrator did the wrong voice or that accent is wrong whatever. I highly recommend all the Dervla McTiernan stories I have read and this one is a real thriller.

Gabby Petito-esque

I really enjoyed this book and finished in just a couple of days. I loved all of the different characters point of views, and how the story unfolded and would definitely recommend to my friends.

While there’s no big twist or anything like that, it does keep you entertained wanting to know how everything plays out.

A most important and disturbing story that needed to be told

This was a most engaging yet disturbing story that happens every day. While the discussion and exposure of domestic violence was hard to hear, it needs to be be both heard and stopped. As a former domestic violence prosecutor I was glad to hear the raw emotion this heinous crime evicts. But as bad if not worse is the pack mentality American society has descended to over the past 10 years. Scandal sells! People make up stories for their 10 minutes of fame regardless of the lives they destroy, lives of innocent people they know nothing about. This book deserves to be heard/read but don’t expect a warm fuzzy feeling afterwards. Think about it and look for ways to make a difference

Brilliant story

Best crime novel in a long time. Dervla McTiernan is a master of her genre, and What Happened to Nina is her best work yet.

Fictional version of the Petito case

It was entertaining and intrigued about how it was going to end. Unrealistic but its fiction so its supposed to be
