Publisher’s Summary
An instant New York Times bestseller!
“Stunning. Fiendishly plotted with whiplash twists and turns — Shari Lapena is at the very top of her game here. [She Didn’t See It Coming] might be my favorite yet!” —Lucy Foley
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 – working from home that day – has failed to collect their daughter from daycare. Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s 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. It’s 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 – and as questions swirl around their community – Bryden and Sam’s past seems a little less perfect, their condominium less safe, their friends, neighbors and relatives no longer quite so reliable . . .

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Amazing!!”
There are some authors, two in particular for me, that when they release a book, I pre-order it before even reading the synopsis. Shari Lapena is one of those authors. Her books never disappoint me, they are always attention grabbing and intriguing.
This book was fast paced, with great character development. Everyone was a suspect at some point during the story. The ending was a cliffhanger of sorts. The main story was finished, but were left wondering about one of the main characters and what will happen in her life next. I’m hoping that perhaps this book will be the first in a series that follows the lead detective. 🤞— Tara M., Audible listener
3/5 stars — “Good narrator. So so story. “
Narrator is great with both male and female voices, as well as reads with emotion appropriately. Story was worth listening until the end, but not a huge shocker.— BStuck, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Keeps you guessing all the time”
With lots of plot twists, and theories about the end, I definitely enjoyed this read.— Audible customer, Audible listener
