An engrossing story brimming with realistic characters... [Adelman] is an author to watch." —South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Abby and Nate seem like an amazing couple, married for 20 years, parents to teenaged Sarah - easy, breezy and comfortable. Nate worships the ground his wife walks on and as he always says, he loves Abby enough for both of them. When Abby met Nate, she had nothing left to live for: her brother had just died in a car accident for which she was responsible and she had been disowned by her mother because of it. He actually saved her the depths of despair and they’ve been together ever since. He knows nothing of her past and that’s how she’d like to keep it. My internationally bestselling thrillers include: THE NEIGHBORS (2018), HER SECRET SON (2019), SISTER DEAR (2020), YOU WILL REMEMBER ME (2021), NEVER COMING HOME (2022) and THE REVENGE LIST (2023). The reason Liam and Abby broke things off years ago still hangs between them, something which has neither been forgiven or forgotten.Gladys is an elderly next-door neighbour and somewhat of a neighbourhood watch. She hasn’t seen the children go to school today, nor John go to work, and the blinds are still drawn. Unfortunately, she has a history of exaggerating neighbourhood issues to the police, so she is hesitant to report more concerns without being completely sure. Nevertheless, Gladys instinctively knows something is wrong with the West family. Dealing with her anxiety and compulsion to investigate, Gladys will explore every possibility to find out more.

My second time reading this book and my feelings are the same! I love me some Ania and having read ALL her work, am never disappointed. While I tend to love some more than others (which is going to happen with any author), I still am fully entertained and fascinated with her mind. This is my second book by this author, and I am hooked. So why not 5 stars? Nate has only ever kept one secret from Abby and he has always sworn that he wouldn't add to the list. He does, and we know what the second secret is, but we never find out what the first was. And I want to know! The book describes the perpetration of the massacre by Polish civilians (a fact first noted by Szymon Datner in 1966), refuting a common notion that the perpetrators were the German occupation forces. The debate that ensued in the media prompted the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) to open a forensic investigation, which confirmed parts of Gross's findings. [5] [6] The IPN's report stated that "[depositions] made by witnesses confirm complicity of both Germans and Polish inhabitants of the town," [7] and that "residents of Jedwabne and its environs, of Polish nationality, committed these acts." However, it concluded that Gross's estimate of 1,600 victims "seems highly unlikely," [8] giving a plausible range of 250 [9] to 340 victims. [10] Other historians have suggested anything from 600 [11] to close to 1,000 victims. [12] One thing for sure, the first time I read this, I hoped for a happy ending even knowing stats show the worst is usually what happens in the case of a missing wife. This time I knew generally what happened, but I couldn't remember a lot of the particulars or even the culprit. I didn't want to put the book down, eager to find out how it all unfolded, even as a re-read! Gross, Jan T. (2002). "A Response". Slavic Review. 61 (3): 483–489. doi: 10.2307/3090298. ISSN 0037-6779.

A] warm and welcoming new contemporary…the book breathes easily and pulls you right into its world. Especially recommended for anyone who ships Janine and Gregory from Abbott Elementary.”— The New York Times Book Review This is the 3rd book in the series and you really could easily read this one as a standalone… I have jumped all over this series and pretty much the only ones that need to be read together are the books featuring Flora (IYKYK) 😖.
