Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Child abduction, rich people behaving badly and twists. Can’t Wait!
Description
An abduction in Beverly Hills reveals a dark underbelly of wealth, privilege, and secrets in a propulsive and twisting novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author A. R. Torre.In the mansions of Beverly Hills, perfection is a full-time job. But on one Sunday afternoon, at the most-anticipated birthday party of the year, four children are taken—and for their four families, perfection begins to fall apart.
As the hours tick by and the investigation deepens, polished exteriors start to crack. Marriages fracture under pressure. Secrets buried deep crawl into the light. Each family responds differently to the unthinkable—some with grief, some with rage, and some with a desperation that raises more questions than it answers. Because when your child is missing, there is nowhere left to hide.
Not from the detectives. Not from the cameras. And not from each other.
But the families aren’t the only ones with something to conceal. The nannies—with their pasts, their loyalties, and their quiet desperation—are just as fractured as the families they serve. And as the detectives dig deeper, it becomes clear that understanding what happened means understanding the women everyone else chose to overlook.
