Secrets always lead to trouble. Love triangles are always complex but in Bella’s case things are particularly dangerous as her secret is that she is married to both men in her triangle! Then, inconveniently, her best friend falls for husband number one - estranged Elvis impersonator - and they all head for a showdown in Las Vegas. Like all Adele Parks books this was incredibly well written and intricately thought out. Questions were answered before my brain even contemplated them and the characters and locations were vividly portrayed. I had a few suspicions about the conclusion but it still left me unable to put this dramatic thriller down.

Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered. Eloise Hamilton uproots from London to the country with her family. The excitement soon turns to turmoil as her mother in law Margaret has lost her history, her health and her mind, and struggles to hold on to the secret she has never wanted to reveal. I'm not going to say much about the plot because this story is far too easy to spoil, so here are a few thoughts on the writing style.A sleek tale and a clear example of an upscale read in the domestic mystery field, Both of You is another champion story from Adele Parks. Detective Clements is assigned to the case when Mark turns Leigh in as a missing person. Detective Clements thinks that there may be nothing and the wife has simply taken a break until Detective Clements gets another case assigned to her too. A wealthy businessman has also reported his wife, Kai Janssen, missing and the two cases seem to be very tightly tied together. This audio started a bit slowly, taking me quite a while to engage. I wish I could say it kept me on the edge of my seat, but nope. It just plugged along to an ending, that just didn’t work for me. (perhaps a bit too open-ended for my liking)🤷‍♀️

Both of You consumed me, and I allowed it to swallow me whole. I wasn’t disappointed. It indulges all your nightmares, your fantasies, wraps them up and hand delivers it. Adele Parks is a master of investigating the human condition, in both real and ugly terms and still able to make the reader feel empathy but also pity. The trouble with being human is that we always want more, we want what we can’t have, ignoring the morality of it all.Anna and Zoe are twins. Identical in appearance, utterly different in personality, they share a bond so close that nothing - or no one - can rip them apart. Detective Clements is assigned to the case when Mark turns Leigh in as a missing person. Detective Clements thinks that there may be nothing and the wife has simply taken a break until Detective Clements gets another case assigned to her too.

DC Clements is investigating and is suspicious of two women living completely different lives going missing in the very same week. Are they connected, DC Clements suspects they maybe. The story is told from multiple POVs of Leigh, Kai, DC Clements, the husbands, and Leigh's best friend. The pacing is fast. I finished the book in a day. Why the 2 stars? I can't give too much away without spoiling the book but, the constant monologues from the missing women were exhausting and repetitive. Most of the characters were unlikeable to one extent or another. The book could have been much shorter. The ending.....open-ended, abrupt, and blah.
