Hannah hall’s adoring husband, Owen Michaels, disappears on the same day his company is raided by the FBI for large-scale security fraud. He leaves behind a large duffel bag filled with money for his daughter Bailey. And for his wife, Bailey’s stepmother, he leaves a note: Protect her.
 
Hannah wants to do so, but she also wants answers. And as she searches for the truth about her missing husband, she realizes Owen isn’t who he said he was.
 
First of all, this book is more a mystery than a thriller. It would fit in the domestic thriller category, if I we would label it a thriller though. The most interesting part is the search for the truth, where Hannah and Bailey are trying to figure out what is happening. And the connection (or lack thereof) between them. The book has some reveals. Not new to me tropes, but they did it well. It’s a solid story, I enjoyed it, but it’s nothing groundbreaking and it's not a book that stands out to me.
 
If you are new to the mystery/ thriller genre, I would recommend this to you. It’s a good book to start with and get familiar with the genre.
