Synopsis (Amazon)
You think you know the truth. The truth is you know nothing.
If your husband was murdered.
And you were a witness.
How do you explain it when he appears on your nanny cam, back from the dead?
You thought you trusted him.
Now you can't even trust yourself.
Dark secrets and a terrifying hunt for the truth lie at the heart of this gripping thriller by the 'master of the double twist' Harlan Coben ...
My Take
Maya Stern is a soldier with PTSD. Her sister was murdered 4 months before when Captain Maya Stern was on operations in Iran. And now her husband Joe has been murdered.
The story opens at Joe's funeral where Maya and their 2 year old daughter Lily are with the Burkett family at the graveside.
After the funeral Maya's friend Eileen installs a "nanny cam" in the lounge room so that Maya can keep a check on how the nanny Isabella interacts with 2 year old Lily. At this point Maya is visited by an NYPD homicide detective who wants to go over the details of what happened the day Joe was murdered. Maya was there when some thugs approached them and then she ran. So she didn't actually see the final shot and she hasn't seen Joe's body.
Maya has left the Army and is now working as a flight instructor and she returns to work the day after the funeral.
And then Joe appears on the nanny cam.
This story is full of twists and turns as we try to work out whether Joe is really dead, and, if he is, who killed him. I enjoyed it much more than my last outing with this author, but even so I didn't see the final twist coming.
My rating: 4.5
