Just the Nicest Couple

Jake Hayes has vanished. His wife, Nina, assumes at first that he is cooling off at a friend's house after a heated argument the night before. A day passes, then two, then five, and there is still no sign of him.

Lily Scott, Nina's friend and coworker, believes she may have been the last person to see Jake before he disappeared. She tells her husband, Christian, everything. Together they agree that no one can learn what led up to that moment, and above all not Nina.

Nina, meanwhile, is looking for her husband and does not plan to quit until she knows what happened to him. That sets two couples on a collision course, with one side searching and the other hiding.

This is a domestic suspense thriller built around a missing person and the lies that grow up around the disappearance. It centres on two close friendships and the secrets inside each marriage.

Expect a twisty, tense read in which deception comes from people the characters trust, and where a lie told to protect someone threatens to run out of control.
