Blurb: Everything was perfect. And then her fiance disappeared…

Two weeks before her wedding, a stranger stops Amy in the street and warns her she’s in danger. Then that night, Matt, her fiancé, doesn’t come home. Desperate, Amy calls the police – but when Matt fails to emerge, she’s forced to call off her wedding day.

Then another man is reported missing, by a woman called Fiona – a man meeting Matt’s description, who was about to leave his fiancée for her. He was supposed to be moving in with her – but instead, he’s vanished.

Amy refuses to believe Fiona’s lover can be her Matt – but photos prove otherwise, and it soon becomes clear that Matt has been leading a double life. As the police dig deeper, two conflicting, yet equally plausible stories emerge from two women who allegedly have never met.

The wedding day never happened. But the funeral might.

Betanda Shanam’s Review

Amy found her perfect man, Matt, whom she would be marrying in two weeks. Her business was doing well. Everything was perfect.

A mysterious encounter with an old lady who warns Amy that everything is not as it seems, marks the start of events that turns Amy’s world upside down.  When her fiancé fails to return home after a work meeting Amy is convinced something sinister has happened to him. However, after reporting his disappearance to the police, Amy finds out that another woman has also reported her boyfriend’s disappearance.

The police are convinced that both disappearances are the same person, Matt. But how could it be? Matt and Amy had the perfect relationship, or did they?

The events that follow takes the reader on a cryptic journey which keeps you guessing throughout the book.  Debbie Howell, a bestselling author, keeps the reader engaged in the storyline with use of characters with variegated personalities, enabling the reader to picture the characters and events, and virtually live in the pages of the story.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
