Now my husband's vanished, too.I wish I could say that the tragedy of little Jack disappearing brought me and Nate closer together. But my husband is more distant from me now than he's ever been. Perhaps that's why I don't ask him exactly where he's going when he sets off on another business trip.  Or perhaps I was too distracted by the woman moving in across the street with bouncing blonde hair and a cherubic toddler boy. He reminds me so much of the child I lost. But his mother doesn't seem to properly watch him. And I can't be sure, but I think Nate and this woman share a look of recognition before he leaves.  The first day Nate's away, things feel okay, even though I know when he returns we're going to have to discuss what I found in his coat pocket. But one day turns into two, and then three. I don't want to seem like the crazy wife, but I have to call his work and ask what's going on. And that's when they tell me the shocking truth.  Nate hasn't worked for the company in six months.  Once I've found this lie, it's hard not to pick at the scab of our marriage, see what other secrets lie beneath his apparent love for me. By the end of the week, I hope I might finally learn the truth about my husband, about the woman across the street, and about what really happened to my little boy.  The Perfect Family Man is a jaw-droppingly good rollercoaster ride of a novel with twists that will leave readers going 'OMG'. Perfect for fans of The Woman in the Window, Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell.

Neglected and unloved as a child, she had to do whatever it took to keep herself and her little sister, Birdie, safe. But the worst thing she's ever done is let her sister walk out of a diner when they were teenagers. She would never see her sister again.  Years later, and Anna is a new person. After a whirlwind romance, she's married handsome, successful, and generous Guy. She has a steady job and a new life of comfort. Things seem perfect.   But she hasn't told her husband about her dark past or about Birdie, that she's still looking for her. It's not about his too-perfect veneer, or her suspicion that he flirts with other women. It's that he has a complicated past and family secrets, too. Secrets that might be more entwined with hers than he knows.  After all this time, one thing about Anna remains the same. There's nothing she wouldn't do for her sister. And when she finds out who's kept them apart for all these years, there will be hell to pay.  A completely addictive, dark and eye-opening novel about what people hide behind closed doors, perfect for your next book club pick.
