Both of You: The stunning psychological domestic crime thriller from the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of Just Between Us

Product Information

But how could they be connected? Both women live in totally different areas. As the police begin to investigate, they start to think perhaps someone may have wanted to hurt the women. Why? Yes, as the saying goes if a wife goes missing, the husband is always the prime suspect, but in this case, they are the ones who called saying they were missing. Both Rose and Lucy would love nothing better than to embody Connie’s life. Connie isn’t just happily married. She also has two thriving kids even while pursuing a successful career. This twisty thriller was engrossing and I was keen to see how the story would conclude. With a range of narrative perspectives, it was interesting to see how the disappearances and their investigations unfold.

And when her boys begin to need her less, it becomes clear to Rose that Lucy’s life is devoid of real purpose or passion. Everyone knows that in missing person cases it is usually the partner involved, so DC Clements' suspicions naturally lie there. She isn't sure that the cases are connected, but they are very close in time, even if the women seemingly have nothing else in common. The characters are in the main irritating, again can’t say why as will give it away, I guessed the ‘baddy’ early on so no surprises there and once they are unearthed the book ends, abruptly Both of You investigates the disappearance of two women in the same week. Leigh Fletcher is a married woman with an average life but a demanding job. She’s step-mum to two teenage boys that she dotes on. She has more than an awkward relationship with her mother, there is a toxicity pulsing off her and you wonder just how Leigh copes with her comments and demands. We see just how her relationship with her husband Mark begins, the instant attraction, the love felt for the boys. It’s how I imagine a lot of marriages are… but what’s that I can see, a creeping shadow that isn’t quite revealing itself.As an Ambassador for The Reading Agency’s Six Book challenge, the author is very passionate about reading. She uses her influence and resources to spread her passion for the written word. DC Clements interviews the husbands that reported their wives missing. She’s suspicious of both husbands’ involvements. Is the narrative that its always the husband true? What clues are left behind? Is there something that they aren’t telling her? Connect the dots and the truth will come home to roost. Kai Janssen loves her life! Married to a very wealthy Dutch businessman named Daan she does not want for anything. He adores her! Although she lives a very pampered life, she still splits her time taking care of her mother who is ill and lives in a care facility out of town. Usually, Kai and Daan talk at least once a day when she is away. But now Daan is unable to locate his wife. She has gone missing, and he is devastated. Well, turns out, it's neither one. It's her best friend Fiona, who goes full psycho after realizing that Kaileigh has managed to snag two wonderful husbands while Fiona routinely finds herself used and dumped by unavailable and/or married men. One of the married men just happened to be Daan.

Both women disappear around the same time. Could the disappearance of these two women, who are so different, be related? But I will say again the use of words, her ability to weave them together and talk to you and entice you with her writing prowess make all the minuses of this book acceptable and it it still for me Alison has nothing to complain about. Her life is charmed. Her home is a happy place, made so by her husband Jeff and their brilliant daughter Katherine. Alison’s life revolves around Katherine.I have to be a little vague now to avoid giving spoilers . . . It’s the fallout from information discovered during the police investigation that I found most interesting. I felt Parks did a terrific job with the family dynamics in this book. What behaviours do people take on to play their designated role (wife, husband, parent, child) in their family? Who is keeping secrets? Who is keeping confidences? How does this impact individuals and the family unit when a member of the family disappears? And how do you adjust to the knowledge that you might not know those closest to you as much as you thought? Parks’ astute observations certainly provided food for thought.

Set as the Pandemic is starting I did like how it was just referenced and had no bearing on the story but was there, just as part of the life the characters are living, like we all have been doing With her university days behind her, she eventually went into advertising and then management consultation. But writing was never far from her thoughts. And she eventually achieved her dreams of becoming a published author in 2000 when her first novel, Playing Away, hit the bookshelves.

Same week, different world … Kai Janssen leaves her sexy, wealthy husband and their luxurious penthouse, and vanishes into thin air.

First off this is impossible to say anything much about without giving it away ( I think ) so I wont be doing or even hinting at it what the book is about 😎 And that, my friends are all the clues I am going to give you! You will just have to read the book for all the jaw-dropping, astounding turns the story takes! Same week, different world ... Kai Janssen leaves her sexy, wealthy husband and their luxurious penthouse, and vanishes into thin air. There were some eye-roll inducing moments like grouping video games and fascism together as the same... ???? Also homegirl was in the wrong and it felt like the author was tryna do some extreme mental gymnastics to make this the patriarchy's fault even though it wasn't. And ya'll know I'm not out here rallying for men in books, but this wasn't the time to go for the jugular 😂I listened to the book and was thrilled with the narrator! She managed so many speech patterns and accents I often though there was more than one performer. As for the mystery, I guessed most of it incorrectly but at least the culprit was someone I suspected. That ending…well, it left me speechless. Get ready for a journey you won’t want to interrupt and some clever twists. I couldn’t put the book down because I just had to know whodunit. Adele Parks’ new book Woman Last Seen is fast paced with an intriguingly different plot and incredible twists. As always with Adele Parks this is an absolutely gripping read' Richard Osman, No. 1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club
