Kate and Michael Shaw have been happily married for several years. Michael works as a property manager and Kate is a teacher's aide at a local elementary school. They have a six-year-old daughter named Tansy. A young mother and her son move into a home on one of the properties that Michael manages. One day the mother disappears without a trace. The police question everyone who knows this woman and saw her shortly before going missing. Suddenly everyone is looking at Michael, questioning if he had something to do with the missing woman. When Kate catches him in a lie, she begins to wonder how well she knows her husband.

This story started out slow. I had a hard time getting through the first couple of hours, waiting for something to happen. Finally, the pace picked up and the story got interesting. There were a couple good twists in this one that I didn't see coming. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Lucy Price-Lewis. She does a fantastic job with the voices. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
