About this listen

 A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until you reach the end.” —Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me

A husband’s disappearance links two couples in this twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing, Mary Kubica

Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife, Nina, thinks he is blowing off steam at a friend’s house after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found.

Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and coworker, thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake’s disappearance, especially not Nina. But Nina is out there looking for her husband, and she won’t stop until the truth is discovered.

"Rich with detail and a mounting, almost suffocating sense of dread, Just the Nicest Couple is a dark and twisted exploration of loyalty, family, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love." —Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here

The narration was awesome and I really appreciated the switch of perspectives. I enjoyed the trail the story took us down and I was happy it kept looping back to hints earlier on in the book as well.

Love love loved this book!

Not the best, not the worst. It was an okay read and will look again for Mary Kubica’s new releases.

Predictable

I enjoyed listening to the female narrator. I found the male narrator's female voice too whiney for my liking so I did consider giving up on the story. it was pretty slow moving and then everything hits towards the end but unfortunately I saw it coming because the hints were a little too big. Worth a credit but not the book price in my opinion.

Varied performance, decent plot

Development of characters and deep story line kept me guessing until the end. Hope there is a sequel as the ending was a bit rushed.

A good read

I didn’t have a guess at what happened until close to the very end…and my guess turned out to be wrong. It was a good read and kept me interested till the very end.

I enjoyed this very much

This wasn’t as good as Local Woman Missing, but it was pretty good! I kind of had a suspicion to what the ending was going to be, but I was still pleasantly surprised and everything came together pretty nicely. I feel like it could have been shorter, but it was still interesting and kept me listening. Overall, I’d recommend!

Overall pretty good!
