"From the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time! An addictive thriller about a new mother's world upended when her husband commits a terrifying crime-and then disappears. How well does she truly know the man she loves? And what danger does she face if her entire life has been built on a lie? It is June 21st, the longest day of the year, and new mother Camilla's life is about to change forever. After months of maternity leave, she will drop her infant daughter off at daycare for the first time and return to her job as a literary agent. Finally. But after she arrives at the office, police officers storm the foyer: in the city, just near her work, a man has taken three hostages and is now in a tense standoff with law enforcement. And Luke, the person she's loved for more than a decade, the father of her child, is involved. But he is not a hostage. He is the kidnapper. All she has is a half-written cryptic note that Luke left for her. Seven years after the crime that shocked the nation, and her husband's subsequent disappearance, Camilla has slowly accepted that she will never have answers about what really happened that day. But just as she prepares to let Luke go for good, an anonymous location, sent to her by text message, reignites her suspicions about the kidnapping and sends her on a dangerous search for the truth. What follows is a propulsive, twisty story of motherhood, marriage, and the secrets at the heart of our closest relationships. Famous Last Words cements Gillian McAllister's reputation as "the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations" (Emily Henry)"--

I‘m very excited for my #Auldlangspine list from @LiteraryinPA !!! ♥️🎊 The Dutch House is one of my fave books ever! I also adored red white royal blue and lady tan‘s circle of women! I‘ve read a psalm for the well built and first lie wins also. I‘m excited about the tagged book! I read another by this author and loved it! Also excited for Run by Anne Patchett and Winterhouse by Ben Guterson. Great match @monalyisha We have such similar tastes!♥️

I am officially hooked on Gillian McAllister‘s writing. As my second book by her, this kept me glued to the pages and trying (and failing) to guess all of the twists and figure out exactly what the truth was. I think the synopsis gives just enough to whet your appetite, but it is just a nibble of what the story fleshes out to be.

MallenNC I‘ve loved the two I‘ve read by her. 4w

My app hasn't been working for the last week and I'm not sure why, but I don't want to wait longer to review this ARC. It was SO good! Anyone who liked Wrong Place, Wrong Time should DEFINITELY stack this for when it releases in February. It's a very clever thriller with an unusual premise, about a nice husband/father who, out of the blue, holds people hostage and then disappears. Why?? You'll see!

HOTPock3tt I loved wrong place wrong time! 🎊Can‘t wait to read this one too!! 😃 3w
