Book Synopsis
"Grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go until you reach the end. A riveting tale about marriage, trust, and secrets." --Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told MeA husband's disappearance links two couples in this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author 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

You get hooked from the very beginning. It’s written from two different people’s perspectives. Chapters alternate between Christian’s point of view and Nina’s point of view. I thought I knew the ending but around the last 30 or pages she added a curveball. My only complaint is that the book cover was ripped but that’s not the authors fault. It’s targets fault.
I couldn't put it down!

100 pages in…It just seems ridiculous that the characters are acting so paranoid when going to the police would have been so much easier. There is proof of the attack from her bruising and scratches. Have they never heard the expression “self defense”? Doesn’t make any sense to me as of yet.
