"Driving home one rainy night, Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road. After calling 911, the veterinarian makes a split-second decision that will throw her sedate suburban life into chaos. Against all reason and advice, she gets out of her minivan and chases after the violent man, trying to help his victim. When Cassie physically tries to stop him, he suddenly turns on her and spits out an ominous threat: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live.”"
As if this wasn't scary enough, the next day, her husband disappears while trick-or-treating with their six year-old daughter. Is it possible Cassie's husband is having an affair? Did someone kidnap him? Is the confrontation with the roadside attacker connected to this? As Cassie searches for clues to find her husband, it becomes clear that nothing is as random as it seems.
This is a gripping story with a relentless pace, which I really really liked. There are a lot of twists, as well, so it's difficult to anticipate where the story is going and there is a sense of danger and unease that threads through the book. You don't know if you can trust Cassie's husband, you're not sure if Cassie is paranoid, and you can't shake the feeling that something really bad is going to happen. Great psychological thriller of a read!
