2 Stars

Once again I’m disappointed by an Adele Parks book, no one is surprised.  And please don’t think that I go into these books expecting not to like them, I really do go in with an open mind and hope that I will enjoy it.

The story follows Leigh who seems to have a perfect life with her husband and her two stepsons.  Until suddenly she goes to work and then never comes home.  

The other main character in the story is Kai who is married to a wealthy Dutch businessman living the high life in her amazing penthouse.  But suddenly a week after Leigh has gone missing, Kai is missing also.

Detectives start to investigate both cases and at first don’t believe that the two cases could be connected as the two women come from very different lifestyles.  But as they dig farther into their lives and their families lives they realize people are capable of keeping great secrets.

The writing style doesn’t keep my attention and while some of the twists were good, I couldn’t get over how much I detested the main character.  Only giving it 2 stars because the main character got what she deserved in the end.
