Sandy has disappeared from her home, without a trace it seems. Her 4-year-old daughter was sleeping down the hall when her father came home from work and found his wife gone. As the police investigate, it soon is clear that this perfect little family has plenty of secrets. The police are faced with too many suspects - is it the husband who seems a little too calm and distant? Is it the neighbor with a history as a sex offender? What about the 13-year-old computer whiz who obviously had a crush on his teacher, Sandy? Or maybe, it's Sandy's father who suddenly appears and wants custody of his granddaughter?
This is the first book that I have read by Lisa Gardner. I liked it very much. The subject matter was kind of tough to take. Each of the main characters have unsavory pasts and deep secrets but the reader finds that they want the family to be okay, no matter what they have done in the past. I believe that this is a stand-alone but with connections to other series, so I will definitely be looking for more of Ms. Gardner's books.
Rating - 5 stars
