Synopsis

What if she never came home . . . ? When Mitchell Brannon' s beloved wife sets off for home after a conference, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. Mitch returns from work early that evening, surprised that Jill' s car isn' t in the garage. But her voice on the answering machine makes him smile. " Hey, babe, I' m just now checking out of the hotel, but I' ll stop and pick up something for dinner. Love you." Hours later, Jill still hasn' t returned, and Mitch' s irritation turns to dread. When the police come up empty, Mitch enlists the help of their next-door neighbor, Jill' s best friend, Shelley, to help search. As hours turn into days and days into weeks, Mitch and Shelley' s friendship grows ever closer-- and decidedly more complicated. Every lead seems to be a dead end, and Mitch wonders how he can honor the vows he made to a woman who has seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth.

Goodreads review by Ruth

When I call this the "perfect" book, I am not joking. This is a book that kept my entire attention from the very beginning until the end, and not many books can do that. This has something in it for everyone: mystery, romance, contemporary concerns, and true faith. This is a book that is clean and w......more

Goodreads review by Ionia

When I first saw this book, this author was new to me, but the description looked interesting, so I gave it a try. I hate the cliched term "If you only read one book this year..." but I honestly think that can describe this book. If I had to only read one book this year it would be this one. I was n......more

Goodreads review by Maggie

This book immediately grabs you. I was reading feverishly right away, trying to find out what happened to Jill. I found myself thinking backwards like Mitchell, wondering what on earth could have happened to Jill. Did she leave because of something he did? Did somebody hurt her? Did she get in an ac......more
