A great quick read !!!📚🔪

⭐️Overall rating: 4/5:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was so good and had so many twists. I never would’ve guessed the ending. After the first few chapters I did not want to put it down. I could've finished in a day if I was not so busy! LOL. I loved the twists and unexpected ending! I highly recommend this book I, especially if you want a quick read!

He's the perfect husband...if you can forget the rumors about his first wife.

Abby is happily married to her dream guy-handsome, hardworking, and completely devoted.

Sure, there are those nagging rumors about the mysterious disappearance of his first wife, but Abby trusts the man she married.

Until an unmarked letter arrives and upends her life in a single sentence.

YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR HUSBAND.

She has to find out what the letter means. After all, if there's one person you truly know, it's the person you've married...right?

But the more Abby finds out, the more terrified she becomes. As dark secrets come to light, she realizes that uncovering the truth might be the last thing she ever does...
