Thriller
“I downloaded this book to read while I waited for a doctor’s appointment—and I was so sucked in by the story that—for once!—the time flew by,” says Patty Bontekoe, FIRST deputy editor. Jack and Grace seem like the perfect couple: He’s a lawyer who helps victims of domestic violence; she’s a stay-at-home wife who is extremely close with her disabled sister. But friends start to wonder why Grace never answers the phone or leaves the house without Jack, and why the bedroom windows have bars on them. “This book was a page-turner in every sense,” says Patty. “From page one, it’s clear that something is terribly wrong, and I didn’t stop reading until I figured it out. Even after I finished, my heart was pounding for what seemed like days!” (St. Martin’s, 2016; Kindle $10, Nook $10)
