She didn't see it coming [text (large print)] / 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.

âNo one does suburban paranoia like Shari Lapena.â âRuth Ware
The new gripping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
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 Sam have it all: thriving careers, a smart apartment in a luxury condominium, supportive friends and a cherished daughter. The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Sam receives a call at his office. Bryden â working from home that day â has failed to collect their daughter from daycare. Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wifeâs car in the underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment her laptop is open on the table, her cell phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. Itâs as if she just walked out.
How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave the building at all?
With every minute that passes â and as questions swirl around their community â Bryden and Samâs past seems a little less perfect, their condominium less safe, their friends, neighbours and relatives no longer quite so reliable . . .
