Synopsis

Some secrets keep a couple together.

If you ask Jill Tingley, she'll tell you she and her husband Jack are college sweethearts living the dream in Southern California. Wealthy, popular and genetically blessed, theirs is an enviable life, though they've grown distant in recent years. Newly empty nesting with their daughter Maggie away at college, Jill suggests a road trip to reconnect.

Jack would rather do anything else than drive to Utah with his wife. He's only stayed in this marriage because of a shared secret, a tragedy in the past he wanted to keep buried. And for his daughter's sake. But Jack is finished with the charade of his marriage. He's filing for divorce as soon as they return, no matter what.

But he doesn't realize what else Jill is hiding.

So begins a cat-and-mouse road trip as a cunning wife—think Ripley in yoga pants—and a reluctant husband match wits and drive each other to the edge. But everything will be fine. Jill still loves Jack and believes he's the only one for her. She’ll do anything to keep him. Anything. She always has.

Kaira Rouda writes the best psychopaths! Jill is just so awful, think Paul from Best Day Ever, one of my all time favourite thriller books.

Whoa! Kaira Rouda is back at it again with another pulse pounding domestic thriller! Best Day Ever fans are sure to love it! I don’t read popcorn thrillers that often….

Goodreads review by Tonya on June 12, 2025

I will never think of the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme the same. Neither Jack nor Jill can be trusted. They both carry damaging secrets that if revealed may alter their destiny in catastrophic ways for one and glorious ways for the other. Beware of Jill when she is not happy. Strange and sometimes de......more
