When her husband James, prone to alcoholic rages and blackouts, dies in a tragic accident, Emma Walsh finds her and her childrenâs grief complicated by the mysterious details of his last day of life, which slowly come to light. 75,000 first printing. - Simon and Schuster
Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell, this âcaptivating thriller full of twists and surprisesâ (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author)âabout what happens when the death of a husband and father isnât the tragedy everyone believesâis perfect for fans of the Netflix original series Dead to Me.
Emma Walsh has finally worked up the courage to confront her husband James about his drinkingâhis alcoholic rages, his blackouts, and the fear his behavior has created for her and their two kids. But James never shows up to meet her as planned, and all her righteous words go unsaid. And unsaid they remain, because the next time Emma sees James, his body lies crumpled amidst the wreckage of his flashy car, which has been smashed to its final resting place halfway through the back wall of their suburban houseâs roomy garage.
In the aftermath of the fatal crash, Emma and her teenage children begin to embrace life without Jamesâs looming, volcanic presence. Buoyed by the support of her two closest friends, she struggles to deal with her grief, complicated by the knowledge that her husbandâs legacy as an upstanding business owner and family man shines only because so many people, for so long, were so willing to keep his secretsâsecrets that twist into new and unexpected shapes as the mysterious details of his last day of life begin to come to light.
A sinister and suspenseful domestic thriller, lauded as âstylishâ by Publishers Weekly and âdeliciousâ by Booklist, Wish You Were Gone will keep you guessing âuntil not just the last page, but the last paragraphâ (Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author).
