My review: 4.5ā
I know I shouldn’t, but I love Lucas. He is quite a conniving, clever con, thief, crook, liar and murderer. I loved every minute of watching his devious plan unfold.
Lucas’s wife, Michelle, has been missing for a month. He is acting like the perfect son-in-law by staying by his dying MIL’s side while she lives out the rest of her days. He makes her promises he has no intention of keeping. On the outside Lucas is the very concerned husband ~ on the inside he knows exactly what happened to her.
He grew up poor and has never known what it’s like to be able to just throw money around, to never have to clip a coupon, to buy a new couch just because the 2 month old one doesn’t look right.
He’s been working up the perfect plan for a while to get Michelle’s fortune ~ every detail is planned to the T.
Told solely by Lucas really showed what a meticulous job he did in planning everything out perfectly. He really made Michelle look like a terrible person, well maybe she really was.
I š Roger ~ I hope he got a happily ever after.
This was some page turning, heart pounding, domestically/psychologically thrilling goodness, with a near perfect wrap up. I enjoyed the dark humor and the non-swear words. There were a couple tidbits I figured out, but overall I was impressed with the writing style.
This is my first time with this author and she is for sure on my radar now.

Marriage makes an honest man out of you.
At least, itās supposed to.
Lucas Forester didn’tĀ hateĀ his wife. Michelle was brilliant, sophisticated and beautiful. Sure, she had extravagant spending habits and that petty attitude, a total disregard for anyone below her status. But she also had a lot to offer. Most notably, wealth that only the one percent could comprehend.
For years, Lucas had been honing a flawless plan to inherit Michelleās fortune. Unfortunately, it involved taking a hit out on her.
Every track was covered, no trace left behind, and now Lucas plays the grieving husband so well he deserves an award. But when a shocking photo and cryptic note show up on his doorstep, Lucas goes from hunter to prey.
Someone is onto him. And theyāre closing in.
Told with dark wit and a sharply feminist sensibility,Ā Never Coming HomeĀ is a terrifying tale of duplicity that will have you side-eyeing your spouse as you dash to the breathtaking end.
