Did she kill him? Why can't she remember?

Louisa Mantalos doesn’t feel capable of murder. But her husband, indie rock star Dave Ash, has been missing for six months. Everyone in New York assumes she killed him. A popular true crime podcast is covering the case, and asking intrusive questions about Louisa's criminal past. And Louisa has a medical condition affecting her memory, she can’t recall what happened the night Dave vanished.

Running out of options, she turns to Constantin McGarry, an unlicensed private eye from across the river in Queens. Con has his own demons, serving time for armed robbery. But he’s out now and trying to put things straight. He helps people for 50 dollars an hour, and searching for a missing celebrity is the biggest job he’s ever taken on. It doesn't take him long to realise Louisa's story doesn't add up.

But is she lying, or does she really not remember?

Gillian Flynn meets Dennis Lehane in this dark, funny, and sexy mystery thriller from Jay Stringer, award-nominated author of Ways to Die in Glasgow.

Great narrative

The story was captivating, lots of twists and turns. The ending was surprising. I enjoyed the narration.

The narrator was clear and engaging

I enjoyed the twists in the story and the character development. The narrator knocked it out of the park with so many voices. I loved the touch of musical jingle to signify the past begin and end. 5 stars!
