Most of the characters are pretty unlikable, (neglectful parenting anyone?!) but I really liked the local detective investigating the disappearance, Rashbach.
How well does anyone really know another person? There are so many complicated relationships going on, which I love. The reader is always trying to figure out who to trust, just as the characters are trying to figure out who to trust. All of the characters have hidden secrets the neighbors, Anne’s parents, Anne and Marco themselves. I had a pit in my stomach at the simple thought of one of my children going missing. I did find myself sympathizing with Anne as she was living one of my worst nightmares. That changed rather quickly as I began to see that there is much more to this story than meets the eye. It’s like the very definition of bad parenting, so from the start I didn’t care about them at all, what kept me reading initially was my interest in their baby daughter, Cora. I was immediately judging the two of them for even considering doing this, much less actually going through with it. A missing baby? Unreliable characters? Deceit, lies and blackmail? More twists and turns than a rollercoaster? Yes please!Īnne and Marco decide to leave their infant daughter at home while they attend a neighbors dinner party. This blurb is the thing my reading dreams are made of. What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family-a chilling tale of deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they’ve kept for years. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. But the truth is a much more complicated story. Suspicion immediately focuses on the parents. But one night when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. People are capable of almost anything.Īnne and Marco Conti seem to have it all-a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. How well do you know the couple next door? Or your husband? Or even-yourself?
