Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.
Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared.
A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible — a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.
If all we need is love, why do we always want more? (HAPPILY MARRIED).

I’ve read a few books by the author but this is another title I’ve seen all over TikTok. This is a corker of a thriller. It was a delight to read. Most of the book is set on a remote island in Scotland and I loved the setting and how the author really brings this to life. This is the kind of twisty thriller I love. Every other chapter another twist sent my mind reeling. What’s the deal with this creepy island? Why doesn’t nobody seem to want Grady to leave? What really happened to Grady’s wife? Who’s his wife’s double? I’d highly recommend this.
4/5
