She didn't see it coming / Shari Lapena.
"When a beloved wife and mother disappears, a luxurious condo building transforms into a potential crime scene, and the investigation begins: can the detectives find her before it's too late? Bryden and Ryan Frost truly have it all: they are sickeningly in love, and are parents to a beautiful three-year-old daughter, Clara, whom they dote on. They're each respected and well-liked at work, and have no secrets to hide from one another. Or so it seems. Until Ryan receives a call at his office: Bryden didn't pick up Clara from daycare as she always does. Panicking, Ryan rushes home, daughter in tow, to discover everything is as it should be: Bryden's computer, cell phone and purse appear untouched--except Bryden is nowhere to be seen, and nobody has heard from her since that morning. The police arrive the next day, and soon a missing-persons case is opened. Search warrants will take time, especially with hundreds living in their fancy condo building. With every hour that passes, Ryan becomes more anxious and Clara more desperate for her mother. Soon the K-9 team is called in, and the family's hope turns into fear. What if Bryden never left the building after all?"-- Provided by publisher.
