        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

        Four able narrators keep the pace and the plot on track through most of this implausible thriller, but the denouement will disappoint listeners still hoping for a satisfying resolution. Though the story begins with a girl being held captive by a monstrous couple, the focus is on her family and neighbors. It's soon revealed that two women in the neighborhood are gone--one missing and the other dead. Are they connected to each other--and to the girl? Sadly, the author has chosen to tell the story from four different characters' perspectives while toggling between the girl's disappearance 11 years earlier and the present day. Much of the time, it's difficult to figure out what's going on and why we should care. L.W.S. 2022 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
