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

    What a terrible book honestly, a bad read. The twist was not that twisted, and the book hasmd so much filler lack of character development. Feels like a book someone wrote in college. The writing was terrible, I should’ve known from the name of the book. Terrible

    It was good, not great. I kind of figured it out myself.

    I’m not one to go into huge detail about a book which I’ve read. I will say this: This book is one of the very best, most well written ones I have read in a long, long time. Even though the author details the characters every thought and action, there was not one boring second in the entire book. Great author…I plan to read many more if not all of her books. Thankful for a great read!!
  • Believable story?

    I’m not sure this story is believable, but I guess that’s what makes it fiction. It certainly keeps you wanting to read the next page so you can find out the outcome, which is a bit of a twist. Characters are all a little odd.
  • Terrible writing

    I skipped over about 70% of this book due to the mind numbing unnecessary details. The author felt the need to over-explain everything as if she was writing for a bunch of idiots. I can’t understand why this got so many good reviews.
  • Enjoy the Twists

    Interesting read. Not too many characters. Some books require an index card to keep track of the characters especially if the story keeps switching stories.
  • Superficial and boring

    I didn’t like or care about any of the characters. Nothing about this book made sense—there was no character development, no plot buildup, no depth. It felt like random stories and characters, including ‘who done it’ were written down and pulled from a hat. Deeply unsatisfying.
  • Great!
