Review by: Dee Atkinson
Genre: Suspense

Kylie Gilligham is a bigamist, but she's also missing presumed dead.

Left behind is husband one, Mark and two step children. Husband two, Daan, lives in the Netherlands and has everything money can buy.

DC Clements in investigating the disappearance and all the evidence points to Daan, but also in the mix is Kylie's best friend Fiona - who somehow has also been involved with Daan, and now finds herself replacing Kylie in Mark's home.

In the other side of the story is Stacie, supposed cancer survivor who lives with her protective Father. Despite the end of COVID restrictions, he still doesn't want Stacie out and about. Initially we can't work out why she is in the story, but it all becomes increasingly obvious as the story progresses.

Takes a while to get you enthralled but works at a good pace in the last third.
