A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until you reach the end.” —Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me

A husband’s disappearance links two couples in this twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing, Mary Kubica 

Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife, Nina, thinks he is blowing off steam at a friend’s house after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found.

Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and coworker, thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake’s disappearance, especially not Nina. But Nina is out there looking for her husband, and she won’t stop until the truth is discovered.

"Rich with detail and a mounting, almost suffocating sense of dread, Just the Nicest Couple is a dark and twisted exploration of loyalty, family, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love." —Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here

    This was an old fashioned style mystery that had all the components of a suspenseful read. Start reading and you’ll be engrossed in a plot that will not leave you disappointed

    Story line should have been really good. So many ridiculous decisions, and so dragged out, specifically- when C goes into house ‘looking for something’, should have been a paragraph, not a chapter. Ratings are really good for this book, so I know I am minority. I wanted to love this book, one of very few I did not finish.

    The story starts without character building and I had the feeling of entering later in the book. Twists, turns and changing admissions made me wonder if anyone was telling the truth or even a partial truth. They have secrets that become heavier as the pages turn. I stayed up much too late.
  • Unrealistic

    If I had had the time, I would not have been able to put this down. The review title I had in mind might give the end of away, so I will just say …
