I liked the way this book told the story, both in the present day and giving glimpses into the past. Although Hannah and Bailey venture into armchair detective status, it never gets unrealistic or unbelievable, the things they do are straightforward and probably things that anyone would do in their situation, not knowing who they can trust. I liked the development of Hannah and Bailey's relationship, that too felt incredibly realistic. The ending put the perfect cap onto the story, this isn't a predictable tale, the conclusion is surprising and yet believable. Filming also took place in Austin, Texas. There, the fictional Town Hotel where Hannah and Bailey stay is actually a "Hollywood Frankenstein," as Brown puts it. "We did pieces in three different locations," Brown says. "There's a hotel room suite, which is a stage build. We shot the atrium and lobby interiors at an Embassy Suites in Los Angeles to give the open volume in the balcony look, where Hannah can fly through in the first chase sequence. We shot practical exteriors at the JW Marriott in Austin to tie things into the street and get the comings and goings and the relationship of where that hotel might be [in relation] to the Congress Avenue bridge or the state capitol or the courthouse—all the different places we wanted to feature when we were in Texas." This one is of my best, exciting, intense thriller reads of the year earned my four heart pounding, saddened, doing everything to protect your child stars! But his possible culpability is the least of their worries, and suddenly Hannah and Bailey must work together, whether Bailey likes it or not, if they hope to find Owen, battling unknown forces in their quest to uncover the truth… I stepped outside. Maybe Mum was right. It made more sense than anything I could come up with. It was only after I'd shut the door behind me and heard the anguished sob from the other side that I wondered if she might not be able to tell me the truth, even if she wanted to.

She thought she knew her husband pretty well, but he was hiding more than a few secrets, and she will need her uncooperative step daughter to help her unravel the clues if she is going to figure out exactly what Owen would want her to do. but I especially loved the slow development between Hannah Hall, (married to Owen Michaels who went missing and left a note saying ‘protect her’), and Owen’s teenage stepdaughter, Bailey. The suspense is palpable, the mystery deep and compelling. The plotting is tight, the pacing so pitch perfect it was impossible to put this book down. Green has created a great family unit in Nicola, James, Ruby and Maisie, one that a reader really cares for. My first thoughts on this book as I was finishing it were that this was a very slowly paced novel. This is definitely not a thriller as I would define it. I never had that taut, scary feeling that something was going to happen that was terrible, horrible, world changing. There was suspense but it was not that chilling feeling I was expecting.
Who was her husband? Who was after him? Was it about the company’s fall out or was it something shadier than that which would force them to run away throughout their entire lives?Actually, when I went into this book based on the plot synopsis, I thought this book was totally going to be about something completely different than it was. I thought this was going to be a psychological thriller/serial killer murder mystery. I was completely convinced that somebody in the family was a serial killer, grandma was complicit, and that’s why there were babies buried in the garden. This book had me completely hoodwinked. I didn’t get what I was expecting, but I got something a whole lot more in return. Otterson, Joe (November 12, 2021).

However, when Nicola's daughter finds a bone while playing in Betty's garden, it's clear that something sinister has taken place. I adored her 2015 novel “Eight Hundred Grapes” 🍇 🍷, which was a 5 ⭐️ love story based in California wine country, so I was eager to read this one, since it involved some suspense!
The floating house was selected not only because it looks large, but because it wasn't painted. "From the start, we talked about what is the through line with Hannah and wood, and the secrets or the pieces and things that are interesting inside wood," Brown says. "That was an important thing to have present in the [visual] flow because that was the point of departure to take you through the rest of the story."While the mystery of Owen’s past is intriguing, the strength of this book lies in the characters. This is not as much about Hannah's relationship with Owen, but more about her relationship with Bailey. I didn’t love the epilogue, but it does offer some closure. Overall, I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to read more by Laura Dave! When Hannah Hall receives a note from her husband stating nothing more than “Protect her,” one random afternoon, her whole world shatters. Her husband Owen has disappeared without a trace, and she soon learns that he was not the man she thought he was. Charged with taking care of her contentious stepdaughter, Bailey, she and Bailey slowly begin to investigate Owen leading them to danger and a startling revelation. Hannah Hall receives a note from her husband Owen, saying only 'protect her' before he disappears, leaving Hannah to take care of his 16 year old daughter Bailey. What is going on? Where is Owen? Who can Hannah trust? And does she really know her husband?
