About The Day She Went Missing

The day we moved into our dream home, I told myself the past was finally behind me. As I look around the sprawling house my husband bought for us, I try to focus on our future. The polished hardwood floors. The huge windows flooding the rooms with light. The quiet, tree-lined neighborhood where families walk their dogs at sunset and children ride bikes down winding streets. My husband Theo smiles as he talks about dinner parties, babies, and growing old together here. I smile back and pretend everything is fine. But this house has a terrible history. Fifteen years ago, a girl named Leila Marsh disappeared after inviting me over. Three months later, her body was discovered in the woods behind our elementary school. The police questioned me because I was the last person to see her alive. I told them I didn’t know anything. But I lied. At first, I think returning to Cartwright Park is only stirring up bad memories. Then I find a note hidden beneath my windshield wiper. I KNOW YOU LIED. Soon, the messages keep coming. An elderly neighbor stares at me like he remembers exactly who I am. A true-crime podcaster begins digging into Leila’s murder. And my husband starts asking dangerous questions about the girl who vanished from our new home all those years ago. I will do anything to protect the life I’ve built. Anything to stop the truth from coming out. Because someone knows what really happened to Leila Marsh. And if my husband discovers the secret I’ve spent fifteen years hiding, it won’t just destroy our marriage. It may get us both killed. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, John Marrs, and Lisa Jewell, The Day She Went Missing is an addictive psychological thriller packed with shocking twists, deadly secrets, and nonstop suspense. “Such an awesome book you won’t want to stop reading this once you start …” –Goodreads Reviewer
