There's a knock on the door - the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.
The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes. Still, she’s mostly okay - except that she can’t remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient and they suspect she was up to no good.
Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something’s been moved. Something’s not quite right. Someone’s been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions.
Because in this house, everyone’s a stranger. Everyone has something they’d rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.
Tom comes home from work late one night and discovers the door is unlocked, Karen, his wife, is gone, her car is gone but her phone and purse are in the house. Then he gets a call that Karen has been in a car accident and is in the hospital. He rushes to the hospital ... Karen is battered but okay but has amnesia. It's a good thing she has the support of Tom and Brigid, her best friend from across the street, to help her through this. Then a dead body is found near where Karen had her accident and the police are looking at Karen for murdering the man ... the problem is, though, that Karen can't remember that night, why she was even in that 'hood and if she did indeed murder the man (and why).
I liked this book and as with this author's other books, there's always a weird twist at the end, which I liked in this one. I liked the writing style ... it's written in third person perspective with a focus on wherever the action is. As a head's up, there is swearing.
