When the past refuses to stay buried, three people will discover that the American dream can be a nightmare...

Megan is a suburban soccer mom who once upon a time walked on the wild side. Now she's got two kids, a perfect husband, a house with a picket fence, and a growing sense of dissatisfaction. Ray used to be a talented documentary photographer, but at the age of forty he finds himself in a dead-end job posing as a paparazzo pandering to celebrity-obsessed rich kids. Broome is a detective who can't let go of a cold case – the disappearance of a local husband and father seventeen years ago.

As the terrible consequences of long-ago events collide in the present, three people living lives they never wanted, hiding secrets that not even those closest to them would ever suspect, will come to realise that the past never truly fades away. And as each confronts the dark side of the American dream – the boredom of suburban life, the thrill of temptation, the desperation that can lurk behind even the prettiest facades – they will discover the hard truth that the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper thin as a heartbeat.

so, it was my first Harlan Coben's book and i unfortunately didn't like it that much. I really enjoyed the irony, but couldn't truly connect with the characters and since i listened to the audiobook, some parts seemed confusing because the narrative changes perspectives out of nowhere. I still want to read another books of his and maybe i should also try to read Stay Close again in the future, because i feel like i may have missed some things.
