The Wreckage of Us
It's always the husband... Isn't it?
Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open, the seat spotted with blood. But there's no sign of Astrid herself. Her husband Brandon is sure that she's alive - after all, this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation.
As the days pass, Brandon starts to look like a suspect in his wife's disappearance, perhaps in her murder. But Brandon isn't telling the police the whole truth. Not about Astrid's stalker, their broken-in back door, or the threatening messages. Then a woman's body is found in the woods. By staying silent, is Brandon protecting Astrid, or protecting himself?
From the bestselling author of The Regret and The Box , this heart-pounding thriller is perfect for readers of Harlan Coben, Mark Billingham and Alex North.

A gripping, atmospheric psychological thriller, with awfully blurred lines between truth and deception; told through multiple-POV, with this dual-timeline narrative. These characters are complex and there are so many unexpected twists in this storyline.
Dan Malakin had me guessing until the very end!

How to review this book….
I don’t want to say anything about the plot or characters really otherwise it would be a danger I could give something away and its important to come to this book with no pre conceptions or ideas about what you are about to become captivated by
I loved the ‘chatty’ style of narrative and how I felt the book was talking just to me and involving me in the characters thoughts and deeds…..good,bad and/or wild….
It was more then readable,one of those where the ‘live version’ was playing in my mind as I read it and I had a very clear running picture in my head of events
The authors ability to create such a lurid,well researched,eventful and more than important enjoyable book are to be applauded and literally every page had some kind of revelation to add to the ongoing stories
For me it was genius and a book I wont forget

4.5 stars
This book was incredible. I can't believe how hooked I was to this story!
My anxiety completely peaked while reading this 😂
The plot and the writing was so clever, every chapter was a jigsaw piece - the puzzle slowing coming together as the story progressed. The pacing was perfect, everything was revealed in excellent timing and at no point did this book fall flat or slow down.
The characters were compelling and I enjoyed all POV's and getting to know them individually while trying to figure out what part they all played in the mystery.
This is probably one of my favourite thrillers of the year so far. It was dark and sinister and completely immersive and I had such a fun time with it!
I hope this book gets all the hype it deserves!

Loved this clever psychological thriller. This had me gripped from start to finish. It was full of secrets, lies, and surprises. Highly recommend this book.

This is one of those books that hooks you from the start and you know you are going to need to push everything to one side until you’ve finished it. The story revolves around Brian and Astrid Webb have been married for just 5 years. He is a retired police sergeant and is 20 odd years older than Astrid. They live in a comfortable cottage. This is a fast paced and twisty story that is so well written and constructed.
Briefly, Brian returns home from a cycle ride to find the police on his doorstep. Astrid’s car has been found in the nearby forest but despite blood in the car there is no sign of her. As the search proceeds we learn more about both of them and clearly Astrid has secrets from Brian. However matters ratchet up when the police find a body in the forest. It is unrecognisable but is it Astrid and if not where is she?
They always say to look at the husband first but whilst Brian is clearly of interest to the police what’s his motive? The author cleverly drip feeds clues and secrets that all gradually come together perfectly. A fantastic thriller, dark and atmospheric, with loads of cul-de-sacs to misdirect you and a shocking conclusion. A definite must read for any thriller lover.

When I say I love reading thrillers, this is what I mean. It grabs you from the get-go and doesn't let go. It's dark, twisted, and full of suspense. This book was impossible to put down. It had me sitting there jaw clenched, anxiety ridden from the anguish the characters go through.
Dan malakin's narrative and character development are exceptional. He creates an atmosphere so thick it's almost tangible. His characters feel real.
I know this is going to be one of my favourite reads this year. I can not give it enough praise.
If you're a sucker for a well written psychological thriller that really takes hold of you, it makes you think and stays in your head. Then I urge you to give this book a read.
Synopsis.
This is a psychological thriller with multi POVs, set over different timelines.
When a crashed car is found along a roadside, abandoned, door open, blood inside. The woman whose car it is, Astrid, is nowhere to been seen. A woman who rarely leaves her house due to being sick is now missing. Her husband, Bryan, is frantic to find her. With the police searching for her, in an investigation like this, the husband is always the prime suspect!
Thank you, Netgalley and Viper, for this DRC copy.

This is one of those books where you should really just dive into it blindly. The less you know, the better. Basically all you need to know is that Astrid is missing. It doesn’t take a detective to realise her husband might not be telling the whole truth about what goes on behind closed doors, but does that necessarily mean he did something to her?
It’s up to you to figure that out as the story unfolds. Various points-of-view and chapters from the past and the present will try to help you on your way. Mostly though, a big can of worms is about to be opened and soon I found myself stuck in a sticky web of lies, secrets and deceit.
I didn’t much like any of these characters. Apart from Detective Ronson who has that delightfully disheveled “don’t-seem-to-know-what-I’m-doing” thing going on, but is actually remarkably smart and perceptive. The unlikeable characters didn’t stop me from desperately wanting to find out what happened to Astrid, though. There were some things I realised early on. However, the bigger picture eluded me for quite some time.
‘The Wreckage of Us‘ is hard to review without giving anything away. I was expecting a bit of a rollercoaster ride, and it was definitely that, although maybe not as thrilling as I would have liked. The fun was in trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together, in trying to get a sense of Bryan, and obviously in trying to solve the mystery surrounding Astrid’s disappearance.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with ‘The Wreckage of Us‘. It is a well-plotted, twisty tale with a bunch of twisted characters that had me hooked from beginning to end. Full of suspense and intrigue, it’s one of those books you are reluctant to put down until you know what’s what, and until you find out the answer to the question : is it always the husband?

⚠️ CW: murder, mental health, suicidal ideations, self harm, drug use, stalking, rape, underage relationships, domestic abuse ⚠️ If you're looking for a read to get you into the spooky season mood that will keep you guessing until the very end then this one is for you! Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open and the seat spotted with blood. But there's no sign of Astrid herself, a chronically ill woman who rarely left her house, and who surely couldn't have left the scene of the accident without help. Her husband Bryan is sure that she's alive because after all, this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation. But as the days pass, Bryan starts to look like a suspect in his wife's disappearance, perhaps in her murder. Yet little do the police know, Bryan isn't telling the whole truth. Not about Astrid's stalker, their broken-in back door or the threatening messages she received. And it seems as if both Astrid and Bryan have something to hide. This book had me absolutely hooked from start to finish! It is so suspenseful and chilling, and so perfectly written in a way that just when you think you've figured everything out another twist drops and demolishes what you thought you knew. It is one of those books that's hard to review without giving spoilers though, but trust me it's just such a perfect way to kick off spooky season. Overall, I highly recommend this book and can't wait to see what Dan Malakin drops next.

Astrid Webb is a 32-year-old woman married to Bryan, an ex-police sergeant, and together they reside in a small village in northern England.
Then, Astrid goes missing, her car is found abandoned with blood inside.
DI Gabriel Ronson is assigned to the case, and in the course of the investigation, he discovers that Astrid had mental health issues and suffered unexplained migraines and back muscle spasms. This meant she had to give up her teaching job, and Bryan became her carer and the main income provider for their household.
Despite being such a caring and devoted husband, Bryan becomes DI Ronson’s main suspect. It’s always the husband, isn’t it?
This book had me hooked from the start to the end. I loved how it was written from different points of view; one of them being Celine. I had no idea how she related to the story, but I was intrigued enough to keep on reading!
I liked how the whole story came together in the end. There were little hints dropped throughout the book, and at the end, I looked back and admired their cleverness.
Overall, it is a tense thriller that will make you wonder until the end.

4.5 stars. Where is Astrid Webb? Her crashed car is found near the woods but there’s no sign of her. Her husband, Bryan, is horrified. It’s out of character for his sickly wife to even leave the house, so what on earth has happened during the time he went out for a cycle ride?
But as time goes on it looks like there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Someone isn’t telling the whole truth. And Bryan finds himself in deeper and deeper water.
After all, it’s always the husband, isn’t it?
This is such a fabulously electrifying and enthralling read. Told from numerous viewpoints it’s fast paced and tightly woven. I knew all the threads were going to join together, but for the life of me couldn’t see how. It kept me guessing ALL the way. Well developed characters and a very clever plot makes this a genuinely unputdownable read. You all need it in your life!

I love the concept of "It's always the husband... Isn't it?" because this gets your brain ticking straight away. Is he really innocent? Is this a double bluff? If not him, then who?
And then, alongside this, we have another narrative that we have to question how this links to the rest of the story. How do they connect? When will these characters collide?
So the first half of the book is very engaging with a lot of mystery. And with a fast pace and short snappy chapters, it's a difficult book to put down.
The second half of the book is much grittier, as the true personalities of these characters start to come out, and I really liked these darker elements.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable thriller with good twists, messed up characters, and a lot of great surprises. I definitely recommend!

Wow!
This is the second book that I’ve read by Dan Malakin (The Box was superb) I went into The Wreckage of Us with very little knowledge of what it was about and enjoyed it all the more for it.
Excellent character development, who can we trust?
I thought I knew how this story was heading. I was so wrong!
Full of red herrings and more layers than a stick of Brighton rock!
Highly, Highly recommended.

Oh my giddy aunt! (this is me being polite) blimey, where do I start! Basically it's brilliant, kept me reading into the night until early doors. 100% 5* credit to Dan Malakin for creating a immensely intense, nail biting and very twisty addictive read. The characters...well it's kinda weird, they just get to you. You try and understand them, empathise, like them...possibly! Oh boy! I was in for a shock.
There is a crash. Call in the detectives (or a particular one that reminded me of Columbo)
It's such a mind bender read, very very cleverly plotted with chapters revealing events before and after the crash. It let's the reader try and put the pieces together..how silly I was to try! Whoa what an ending! I felt there was a little tenderness at the end...yeah ok, maybe not!
Dan Malakin has not written many books so read this one and you will want to catch up with his others. Go for it!

Bryan Webb returns from a bike ride to find his wife Astrid is not at home - something unusual given that she rarely leaves the house due to her chronic conditions. His anxiety turns to shock when the police arrive to tell him that Astrid's car has been involved in an accident on a country lane, and they have been unable to find any trace of her beyond the splatters of blood left behind. The plot thickens when Bryan discovers there has been a break-in at their home. He admits to the police that Astrid was traumatised by her past experiences with a stalker, and he is concerned that this person might have resurfaced to extract revenge.
Ex-policeman Bryan is sure Astrid is alive, but he has little faith that the police team investigating her disappearance will find her before she comes to harm. When he takes matters into his own hands, he realises she was keeping secrets from him. But Bryan has his secrets too, and when the police find a body in nearby woodland, his inability to tell the truth puts him in the spotlight as their number one suspect... after all, it's always the husband... Isn't it?
The story unfurls through the narratives of Bryan, Astrid and a mysterious character called Celine, moving back and forth in time between before and after the accident. Malakin plays beautifully on the premise that there are always two sides to every story, and in a masterclass of misdirection keeps you guessing about not only what has really been going on in this marriage, but exactly how Celine fits into the bigger picture too.
Straight out of the gate, Malakin puts a question into your mind, casting suspicion on Bryan as a guilty husband - something the police also seem to suspect, despite his apparent reputation as a pillar of the community. It becomes obvious that this has not been a marriage made in heaven, but does that mean Bryan has been up to no good... or has Astrid? Well, that you are going to have to find out yourself. However, I can tell you that there are some truly delicious twists and turns to negotiate before you find out the truth.
I swallowed this book whole, and loved how Malakin manipulates your perception throughout, in the way only a brilliant story-teller can do. He plays subtly with the crime tropes we all know and love, and explores some meaty themes around unresolved trauma, whopping secrets, what goes on behind closed doors, redemption, and justice, to give you lots to ponder upon when the ride is over.
What a page-turner! Dan Malakin certainly has style, and I like it. I cannot wait to read more of his books!

Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open, the seat spotted with blood but there's no sign of Astrid herself. As a sick woman who rarely left her house, it is doubtful that she could’ve left the scene of the accident without help. Her husband Bryan is adamant that she's alive as this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation. As the days pass, Bryan begins to look like a suspect in his wife's disappearance and potentially in her murder. Bryan isn’t telling the police the whole truth and it seems as if both him and Astrid have things to hide, especially when a body is found in the woods. After all, it’s always the husband... Isn't it?
Wow! That is literally the first word that comes to mind when asked to describe this book! This is a tense, fast-paced thriller, taking you on a rollercoaster journey, twists and turns sneakily inserted, perfectly executed, maintaining the suspense the whole way through.
The characters are intense, from Brian who is the respectable, loyal husband who just wants to look after his wife, to Astrid his wife who is suffering with agonising pain and wants to escape her life, to Celine, a troubled girl who has fallen on hard times and is too blinded by love to see the truth. Mixed in with the detective’s approach, the writing keeps you guessing, right until the very last line.
It’s hard to review without giving away any spoilers and that is not happening as this book needs to be read afresh and enjoyed! This is a book you will be thinking about long after you have finished reading, honestly it has left a massive impact with me, it’s just so clever! A joy to read, this is a thriller that you can’t put down - and nor should you! Cannot recommend enough, is without a doubt one of my books of the year.

Thank you @viperbooks for sending me this one for an honest review.
This is a highly addictive read. I was hooked from the get-go.
A very compelling page-turner that I smashed through in a couple of sittings and felt gutted when it came to an end. It's bloody brilliant!
It's a dark and chilling read, that's intense and highly satisfying. It will definitely give you the psychological thrill you're seeking.
The tale is narrated from different POVs and dual timelines, but the skillful writing doesn't allow you to get lost; you're just immersed in the story. Everything ties up together; it's methodical and well-calculated.
The characters were intricately crafted, with interesting tales that almost seem to be real. I had mixed emotions towards each one, finding most to be untrustworthy, but I was most empathetic towards Astrid and Celine's story. The police procedural theme was very well executed; it added depth and anticipation.
There's awesome tension-building. You're dribbled information that sucks you in and then spits you out with a gasping twist, pure shock after shock.
There were both mental and physical illnesses included in this one, and they were very delicately handled. It is quite a dark book with some possible triggering themes.
This is the first Malakin book I've read, and I really enjoyed his writing style. It was captivating, with an easy flow and simplistic language that held my attention throughout. I thoroughly appreciated the descriptive technique used in setting the scene; it was atmospheric and created superb isolative feels. Intricate details left nothing amiss.
I'd highly recommend getting your hands on this! Available tomorrow! Pre-order today and you'll have it devoured before the week's out. 😍

Bryan Webb comes home from a bike ride to find the police on his doorstep. His wife's car has been found crashed in the woods and she has vanished. Has she had another blackout or has someone taken her...?
The Wreckage of Us is a mix of crime, mystery and psychological thriller.
Bryan used to be a police officer and is devoted to his sick wife who has been traumatised by a stalker. Her medication leaves her weak and recently she went missing briefly, with no memory of what happened when she stumbled home. But this time she doesn't come home and the police are searching the woods when they find a body.
The book is written from multiple perspectives. These show Bryan's frustration with the officer in charge of the case and the lack of progress being made, Astrid in the lead up to the crash, and the experience of Celine which is fuelled by drugs. The connection between Celine and the Webbs is not revealed until the end, adding to the mystery and clues about the plot development.
Tension builds as Bryan Webb clashes horns with DI Ronson over the case, and Astrid and Celine's stories unfold. I found it difficult to like any of the main characters as their own personal agendas gain prominence. Celine and Astrid did inspire some sympathy but I wanted them to have more spark and not be passive in their own lives, letting men dictate their choices.
I thought the pacing was well aligned with the nature of the plot and characters. There are clues to link the strands of the plot together and I was able to guess some of the connections but there were secrets revealed right up until the end.

𝑻.𝑾: drug use
⚠️This is one of those books where you should really just dive into it blindly. The less you know, the better.
💭Dan Malakin's "The Wreckage Of Us" presents a story brimming with potential, but ultimately struggles to deliver on its promise. I expected an intricate, rather fast-paced thriller with depths that are hidden at first glance, and I was proven wrong on all counts.
Bryan used to be a police officer and is devoted to his sick wife who has been traumatised by a stalker. Her medication leaves her weak, and recently, she went missing briefly, with no memory of what happened when she stumbled home. But this time she doesn’t come home and the police are searching the woods when they find a body.
The pacing of the book was well-handled. There are a few points of view, and between them, there are quite a few things to figure out. I struggled to connect with the characters, who seemed unappealing, apart from Detective Ronson, who has that delightfully dishevelled “don’t-seem-to-know-what-I’m-doing” thing going on but is actually remarkably smart and perceptive. I found almost parts of the plot predictable, including a major twist that was so obvious from early on that it made continuing the book feel like a chore.
Overall, ‘The Wreckage of Us‘ is hard to review without giving anything away. I was expecting a bit of a rollercoaster ride, and it was definitely not that!
𝐏.𝐒 This was my first book by this author, and I was disappointed. However, I’m willing to give his work another chance and will read one more book to see if his writing resonates with me.

This book wasn’t quite to my taste, but reading preferences are highly subjective. You might find it more engaging than I did. If you’re curious, it could be worth giving it a try to see if it works for you.

The Wreckage of us is a smart, tightly wound police procedural where nothing is as clear cut as it first appears.
The story centres around 32-year-old Astrid Webb who has gone missing from her remote village cottage. She’s very reclusive yet her car has been found abandoned after an accident, with no sign of where Astrid has gone.
Her ex-policeman husband Bryan absolutely distraught to return from a cycle ride to find the police at his front door asking questions about Astrid’s whereabouts. He knows that she stays at home most of the time due to her mental and physical health; she doesn’t have any friends or much social life so why has she left?
Police investigate Astrid’s disappearance, scouring forests and fields for any clues. In the meantime Bryan is trying to subtly use his police connections and knowledge to find out about the search to see if he can help find Astrid. He knows from his policing background that the husband is always the number one suspect, but its obviously not him.
The story jumps back and forth from the day of the incident, with chapters from both Astrid and Bryan’s viewpoints building a complex picture of their relationship.
Alongside Astrid's disappearance, there’s a powerful side story of vulnerable 17-year-old Celine who is having an intense unbalanced relationship with an older man Seth who is using her . She thinks that he loves her, but we can see she’s spiralling further into trouble. These chapters were heartbreaking to read, Celine was crying out for help and support but looking in all the wrong places.

I’ll say up front that I have to choose my reads carefully. I have limited reading time and I need to be absorbed. The Wreckage of Us (recommended by a reviewer) gripped me from the prologue to the epilogue totally. So much so, I couldn’t bear to pause to make notes – something I do when I see a beautiful or particularly powerful piece of writing. The whole book was powerful. The characters totally relatable. When an author allows you right inside the characters’ heads for me that’s genius. The plot! I refuse to give anything away but the twists keep coming and every character, good or bad, is absolutely believable. There was one character I was sure was another (if that makes sense). I was wrong. As for DI Ronson and DS Maxwell, what a fabulous team. I hesitate to mention a Columbo type DI, but there are elements of that, a quiet determination, a little bit jaded with a subtly introduced backstory, and oh, so cleverly written – a modern day Columbo, if you like, and with a strong female number two who’s got his back. I love this team. I loved the climax. I did not see it. Maybe I did, but didn’t want to. Now that’s a skill that only the best writers have. Can I have these two working together in a future police procedural please? Loved this book and highly recommend it to crime thriller and all thriller readers. There are some great psychological elements.

This book is a psychological thriller absolutely packed with twists, secrets, and shocking revelations. When Astrid Webb’s car is found crashed near some woods with bloodstains inside the car but no sign of her, all eyes turn to her husband and former police officer, Bryan. As the investigation unfolds, the truth becomes even murkier—Bryan has been hiding details about a stalker, a break-in, and sinister threats, making him the prime suspect. But with the discovery of another body in the same woods, the plot takes a darker swerve and the mystery deepens even further.
The narrative is delivered through multiple perspectives and timelines, sometimes linking characters in unexpected ways which really added depth to this multilayered mystery. There’s some deeply distasteful characters in this book but I do love a thriller with character that I can hate, it all adds to the tension and drama! The tension really never lets up, and just when you think you know where the story is going, another twist upends everything. I absolutely loved how the plot unfolded, I had my suspicions but they didn’t play out as fully or anywhere near as brilliantly as the final reveal actually turned out. The writing is sharp, the pacing is steady, and the characters feel pretty authentic in their struggles and secrets. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

When Astrid Webb's car is found crashed on the side of the road, her husband Bryan automatically becomes the primary suspect in her disappearance. However, Bryan Webb is not forthcoming; he is reluctant to share information with the police, including details about Astrid's stalker, the obvious break-in at their home, and the suspicious emails on her computer... What is Bryan hiding, and where on earth is Astrid?
I think 'flat' is the word that comes to mind when summarising The Wreckage of Us, a novel that promises an intense police investigation intertwined with the slow unravelling of a marriage. However, the actual book feels bland and one-dimensional. The twist I saw coming from a mile away, and I really didn't like the way the female characters were portrayed- all written as dependent and weaker than their male counterparts, and overall with less drive and will.
I also found there to be too many characters, with storylines weaving in a complicated manner that felt unnecessary. The premise of this novel was intriguing, but once the story started to unfold, I found myself losing interest. The plot twist was no surprise at all, which was quite disappointing and maybe influenced my overall impression of the book. I also noticed a few plot lines that vanished into nothing. There were some decent elements, but I can't shake the feeling this is a novel I will very quickly forget.

When Astrid Webb's car is found crashed and apparently abandoned, with blood spots in the interior, everyone fears the worst. Astrid's husband, a former police officer, seems to have been devoted to his wife and was also her caretaker.
But although she was unwell, and rarely ventured out, Astrid has been known to disappear of her own accord before this. So is this just one more incident of that nature? Or is something more serious going on here?
Because the truth is, despite his law-enforcement background Astrid's husband Bryan has been less than forthcoming with the authorities. He hasn't provided them with critical information - including the threats that his wife had been receiving prior to her disappearance.
But since the husband is very frequently the key suspect in such cases, why would Bryan withhold information that might definitively clear him and point to someone else having taken Astrid?
This is a gripping story, well conceived and delivered. The writer has come up with an intriguing and unusual take on a familiar trope: the missing wife. This one will be appreciated by seasoned thriller addicts. It gets 3.5 stars.

I’d had a fantastic time with Dan Malakin’s The Box so obviously, I was dying to read The Wreckage of Us. I expected an intricate, rather fast-paced thriller with depths that are hidden at first glance, and I was proven right on all counts.
The Wreckage of Us is a book that you need to dive into knowing as little as possible, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. There are a few points of view, and between them, there are quite a few things to figure out. I had a couple of theories, a few of which actually panned out, and seeing it all unfold was fun, if a little frustrating at times because patience is a quality I sorely lack and I needed to know what was what.
I wasn’t overly fond of most of the characters but I loved DI Ronson! He has a bit of a Columbo vibe going on, hiding his quick wits and smarts behind a nonchalant appearance.
Overall, I had a really good time with The Wreckage of Us. It’s a twisty thriller with a few twisted characters that really put my little grey cells to work as I was trying to work out how everything was connected and what had happened before, during and after the crash. Recommended.
Massive thanks to Viper Books and NetGalley for the DRC. All opinions are my own.

Average.
It's always the husband... Isn't it? Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open, the seat spotted with blood. But there's no sign of Astrid herself, a sick woman who rarely left her house, who surely couldn't have left the scene of the accident without help. Her husband Bryan is sure that she's alive - after all, this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation. But as the days pass, Bryan starts to look like a suspect in his wife's disappearance, perhaps in her murder. Because Bryan isn't telling the police the whole truth. Not about Astrid's stalker, their broken-in back door, or the threatening messages she received. And it seems as if both Astrid and Bryan have something to hide. Then a woman's body is found in the woods, her face terribly disfigured. By staying silent, is Bryan protecting Astrid, or protecting himself?
Characters were not good. Narration was average.
Thanks to NetGalley and Serpent's Tail / Viper / Profile for giving me an advance copy.

Dan Malakin's The Wreckage of Us is a psychological thriller that keeps you on edge from start to finish. I received a copy to review from Serpent's Tail/Viper/Profile Books via Netgalley.
The novel begins with the mysterious disappearance of Astrid Webb, a woman whose car is found wrecked and abandoned in the woods, with blood at the scene but no sign of her. This unsettling opening propels you into a complex web of secrets, lies, and dark truths surrounding Astrid and her husband, Bryan. Bryan insists that Astrid is alive and that she has simply disappeared before, only to return with little explanation. But as the investigation progresses, cracks begin to appear in his story.
The author expertly navigates the psychological terrain of a couple whose trust in each other has begun to unravel. The reader is left questioning whether Bryan is protecting his wife, or if his silence is an attempt to cover up something far more sinister.
The pacing of the novel is spot on, keeping you hooked with each new twist and revelation. The writing is great, and the atmosphere tense, with the woods serving as a fitting backdrop for a story this chilling.
4/5 ⭐️

Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open, the seat spotted with blood. But there's no sign of Astrid herself. Her husband Brandon is sure that she's alive - after all, this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation.
This sets the scene for a very good book but I really think it is best if you go into this book blind. There are so many layers that continue to build as the book progresses, not only in regard to the plot but also the way the characters develop. This is a very captivating read and just when you think you know where it is going something else happens that changes your thought processes. You really have no idea who to trust or who is completely innocent, great twists that keep your mind reeling.
I had not read Dan Malakin's first book but I will definitely do so now, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and read it in an afternoon. The ending is satisfying after such a great story. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, all opinions expressed are my own. Five stars.

Told from multiple points of view and different timelines this is a complex read that plays with your mind right from the start and just never gives up till the sensation ending and I loved it. What I liked about the read was that it just crept up on me wheedling its way into my thoughts slowly till I realised even when not reading I was thinking about what was happening in the story and who was the perpetrator.
The characters were very well written and mainly so damn dislikable and for me that’s also a big plus there nothing so good as characters that you love to hate !
The plot was so dark and intense and superbly done it kept me guessing throughout, I loved The Box by this author but I loved this one more it just had that little bit of something special making it a wonderful 5 star read and one not to be missed, many thanks to Dan Malakin and roll on the next!
