“James Walsh drives home drunk once again, only this time he smashes through the back of their garage and dies instantly in the crash. James was a partner in an incredibly famous PR firm that represented lots of athletes and celebrities and was loved and admired by his clients. But at home James was anything but a loving husband and father. His death came on the very day that Emma had finally gotten up the nerve to tell him she was divorcing him. A conversation that never happened because he stood her up at the restaurant they agreed to meet at before a company party...While Emma is glad James is gone, she feels like something about that night just isn’t right. As she starts digging to find out where James was when he stood her up and if someone might have been with him right before the accident all the secrets start coming out. Kieran Scott has woven together a story full of surprises – just when you think you have figured out what really happened you will be surprised, repeatedly.”
— Nancy • Fiction Addiction
A “captivating thriller full of twists and surprises” (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author) about what happens when the death of a husband and father isn’t the tragedy everyone believes—perfect for fans of the Netflix original series Dead to Me.
Emma Walsh has finally worked up the courage to confront her husband James about his drinking. But James never shows up to meet her as planned, and all her righteous words go unsaid. And unsaid they remain, because the next time Emma sees James, his body lies crumpled amidst the wreckage of his flashy car.
In the aftermath of the fatal crash, Emma and her teenage children begin to embrace life without James’s looming, volcanic presence. Buoyed by the support of her two closest friends, she struggles to deal with her grief, complicated by the knowledge that her husband’s legacy as an upstanding business owner and family man shines only because so many people, for so long, were so willing to keep his secrets—secrets that twist into new and unexpected shapes as the mysterious details of his last day of life begin to come to light.
A “stylish” (Publishers Weekly) and “delicious” (Booklist) domestic thriller, Wish You Were Gone will keep you guessing “until not just the last page, but the last paragraph” (Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author).
