HE PROMISED HER A LIFETIME. HE GAVE HER FOUR HOURS.
Twelve years ago, Carrie said "I do" on a sun-drenched beach in Thailand. Four hours later, her world shattered when her husband, Johan, was snatched away in a violent abduction. He was never seen again.
Today, Carrie is a working mum, navigating the beautiful chaos of raising premature twins and rebuilding her life with a man who truly loves her. She has finally found peace. The past is a closed book.
Until she sees his face on a computer screen.
Johan is alive. He has a new life. And he never tried to find her.
Driven by a desperate need for answers, Carrie risks the stability of her marriage and the safety of her family to uncover the truth of what happened that day in Thailand. But as she peels back the layers of Johan’s double life, she is forced to face a devastating question:
Is the truth worth the destruction of her second chance at happiness?

Well simply put this is Rosie Walsh's best book yet.
This book grips you right from the start with an opening that already has so many questions and theories running through your mind and yet we have barely even met the characters!
Carrie is only married for a matter of hours when her new husband Johan is detained on the beach of Thailand.
The book jumps back and forth in time to when Carrie and Johan met to Carrie years later in her new relationship and then back again to the events that surrounded Carrie and Johan's marriage to what unfolded after he was detained. By the book being told in this back and forth motion it really keeps us on our toes, collecting all the information and building a picture in our mind as to what really happened and one minute being sure Johan was innocent to then having doubts and believing he is a criminal to only then being thrown back to our original thoughts once again, I am surprised I didn't get whiplash with the constant back and forth of opinion!
One thing I should have known was though that Rosie Walsh was going to pull the wool right over my eyes and unleash a twist out of nowhere that was in no way predictable at all as she has done this to me before in her books and yet she still gets me every time.
This is certainly a book I will be recommending because I was gripped from start to end of this book.
