Synopsis

Kate and Jake agreed when they got married that they would always give each other space. But lately, Jake seems to want a lot more space than Kate’s comfortable with. He’s growing more distant with every day. In an angry attempt to figure out why, she doesn’t take the turn for their road on the way home from work. She keeps on driving and takes a room at a local hotel to conduct a bit of spying—and discovers some worrisome information. But when she returns home to confront him, Jake isn’t just emotionally distant—he’s gone, along with all his things. All that remains is a lone laptop with a map of everywhere she has been over the past days and a timer that is ticking down... Kate turns to the police, who just think she’s been dumped. Then comes an anonymous threat and a demand for money. Nothing seems to make sense. Will she ever get her husband back? And does she even want to?

An interesting concept. Two people rising from the ashes of previous bad relationships meet and decide to set up lives together. Agreeing the rules by which they would live, they have the agreement printed up, framed and hung on the wall. Why would people do this? I would suggest that not succumbing......more

Goodreads review by Sallie on August 15, 2023

If there is ever a book that made me squirm this might be it! The Agreement that Kate & Jake have is not a healthy one and as you learn more about there relationship you don’t know how is in the wrong. Kate has concerns about Jake’s recent behaviour and then he lets her down and doesn’t respond to he......more

Well, this was an interesting book so much in there but easy to follow and they all fit together. I read this in one afternoon as I wanted to find out how it all ended up.
