The man you love is the perfect boyfriend. A loving father to your daughter. But now he' s a murder suspect. . When Janie and Max welcomed their newborn daughter, they hoped life would be complete. But six weeks in, Janie is sleep-deprived and struggling to adjust - she relies on Max more than ever. Until the night he doesn' t come home. Alone with her baby and desperate for answers, Janie searches for Max. But when a woman' s body is found, his disappearance raises serious alarms - for Janie, and for the police. The harder she looks for him, the more Janie realises how much Max has been hiding. And when it becomes clear he' s the prime suspect in the murder, Janie faces an awful question- how much does she really know about the man she loves?
This gut-wrenching and breathlessly tense thriller perfectly captures the vulnerability, desperation and helplessness of a new mother trapped in a nightmare scenario. Raw, unflinchingly honest and emotionally compelling, with themes of family and trust -- Allie Reynolds Readers are going to love You Should Have Told Me. There' s so much to unpack in this taut, compelling thriller: New motherhood, a missing husband, a ton of secrets, all brilliantly written and plotted. Leah Konen' s books are always at the top of my list -- Samantha Downing Unique, cleverly plotted, and emotionally resonant, You Should Have Told Me is the rare thriller that manages to be both a dazzling page-turner and a moving meditation on what it means to be a mother today. It thoughtfully explores society' s sky-high standards for women, the secrets we hide even from ourselves, and how hard it can be to trust others-especially those we love the most. I absolutely loved it, and trust me: This book is going to be huge -- Andrea Bartz You Should Have Told Me is an urgent, read-in-one-sitting story that asks when we should believe the worst about someone we love. A tightly constructed thriller that is also a frank, moving examination of the relentless labor and unspoken terrors of new motherhood, the struggle to let ourselves be known, and the pain of trying, and failing, to be good to the people we love. I adored this book, and Leah Konen should be at the top of any thriller lover' s must-read list -- Katie Gutierrez Raw, brave and gripping, You Should Have Told Me is a brilliant portrayal of a new mother whose struggles will cut you to the core. The flawless writing is both emotionally resonant and tantalizingly suspenseful as we try to figure out the secrets and lies behind a missing person and a murder. Every chapter is more addictive than the last, leading to a stunning ending that you won' t see coming. Leah Konen is an astonishing talent -- Samantha Bailey With breathless suspense and cliffhangers in nearly every chapter, Leah Konen has written a pitch-perfect thriller with a plot so propulsive the pages practically turn themselves. Not only is You Should Have Told Me packed with stunning surprises and brow-raising reveals; it is also an unflinching exploration of the dark side of new motherhood - one that, too often, women are discouraged from sharing -- Megan Collins Atmospheric and deeply thought-provoking, You Should Have Told Me is both a page-turning mystery and a deft exploration of the thorny intersection of marriage and parenthood and the complex, often fraught reality of new motherhood -- Kimberly McCreight
