My sister is dead. Did I marry her killer?
The moment I first gazed into Alex’s soulful gray eyes, I knew I’d met the man I wanted to spend my life with. And I was right. When my beloved sister vanished, Alex put up posters and wiped away my tears after bad dreams—he put me back together. But when police pull a crumpled photo from my dead sister’s pocket, and I see my husband’s familiar face smiling back at me, my perfect world shatters…
Smoothing out the faded picture, I get shivers down my spine. I pray it’s a mistake, because I thought they’d never met. Was I wrong to trust the man I married?
The color drains from Alex’s face when I hand the photograph to him, and his explanation just doesn’t add up. I wonder if my sister called him out on his lies. Did she push Alex too far? Or did he push her?
As I look at the man I promised to love forever, I realize he must not know that I don’t trust him. If he killed my sister, am I next?
But I won’t let him hurt me. My husband has no idea what I’m capable of, and how far I’ll go to keep myself alive…
My Thoughts
Lauren and Alex run into each other in a grief counseling group that meets at a church since they both suffer the loss of their siblings under mysterious circumstances. For over ten years now, Lauren has been praying to get any tiny bit of information about her sister Ellie, bearing her location. However, the waiting ended when the police called her to inform that they had located Ellie’s body. In the depth of the case, she discovers what she has never expected – Alex is the one who will guide her to the truth about Ellie’s disappearance. The information that Lauren herself possesses is the last clue that might reveal the truth about her sister’s fate. As she buries the evidence, she discovers that the reality of Ellie’s vanishing is even more shocking than she could have imagined. I highly recommend it!
