Description

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until you reach the end.” —Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me

A husband’s disappearance links two couples in this twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing, Mary Kubica 

Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife, Nina, thinks he is blowing off steam at a friend’s house after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found.

Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and coworker, thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake’s disappearance, especially not Nina. But Nina is out there looking for her husband, and she won’t stop until the truth is discovered.

"Rich with detail and a mounting, almost suffocating sense of dread, Just the Nicest Couple is a dark and twisted exploration of loyalty, family, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love." —Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here

Don't miss Mary Kubica's newest novel, She's Not Sorry, where an ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient's frightening past...

    This book definitely kept me hooked till the end, and the ending was not what I expected. However, it seemed to end kind of abruptly….there were some missing pieces as to what happened with the characters. Overall tho, an entertaining read.

    Awful writing, worse editing. What a waste of time. Couldn’t finish. Characters so unlikable,stupid, and unbelievable. I’ve read other books by Kubica and something tells me she did not write this. Sry for bad review.

    I read through this one faster than any book in a long time. It was a very easy and entertaining read. I’m sure it wasn’t the first I’ve read by the author but I won’t hesitate to read anything from her after this one!

    Great suspense and fun to read although some sections begged me to skim over them. Nice twisty ending but some details there would have helped. It’s slmost like she got tired of writing. But still all in all a very satisfying read.
  • Loved it!

    i think the poor reviews are a little harsh. this book is suspenseful and thrilling, anxiety inducing and well written. I would recommend this over some of her other books i’ve read.
