"Yet another stick of literary dynamite from Adele Parks: chilling, gripping and entirely unputdownable." —Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author
HAPPY. MARRIED. MISSING.
Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.
Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman Daan and vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.
Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time—far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward and others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be.
How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be.
#1 Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks returns with her most provocative, compelling book to date.
In bestselling author Adele Park's new thriller, FIRST WIFE'S SHADOW, a woman meets and marries a handsome widower...but things begin to take dark, dangerous turns and she's left wondering who she can trust: her friends, her husband, or even herself...?

        British author Parks (Just My Luck) doesn't disappoint with her latest, which centers on two women from very different backgrounds who are reported missing by their husbands around the same time. Detective Clements takes on both cases and feels that they are somehow related. However, it's hard to make a case when there aren't any bodies to examine or evidence of a crime. Each woman could have simply walked away from her life, so it's up to Clements to find out more. Unbeknown to her, there is also a woman who has been abducted and is being held against her will in an isolated, locked room. The characters, storyline, and family dynamics are all believable and ultimately lead to a climactic and realistic ending. VERDICT Although the novel has a slow-burn start, listeners get to hear the investigation unfold through multiple voices and perspectives as the story flashes back to the time before the women went missing, which adds to the suspense of this unique missing-person mystery.--Lacey Webster

        This uneven domestic thriller from British author Parks (Just My Luck) opens with a woman bound to a radiator in a darkened room, uncertain of where she is or how she got there. The scene shifts to the London home of management consultant Leigh Fletcher; her husband, Mark; and Leigh’s two school-age stepsons. She has failed to return from a business trip, and Mark, at the urging of his sons, calls the police. After learning that Mark and Leigh argued on the eve of her trip, Detective Constable Clements believes that the disappearance may simply be a family dispute—that is, until she’s assigned the case of another missing woman, Kai Janssen. Kai is childless and married to a young, handsome, and wealthy Dutch businessman. Though the two women seem to have led very different lives, Clements believes the two cases are connected. Those who enjoy reading about obtuse husbands, irritating children, and put-upon wives will be entertained, but the overly melodramatic machinations of the villain, whose identity becomes clear early on, and a vague ending will disappoint most. This is not Parks at her best.
