Description:

Lucy and her husband, Adam, have been best friends with another couple, Cora and Scott, for years. The four are practically family at this point—they vacation together, co-own a beach cottage, and their young children are inseparable. So Lucy is devastated when, while looking at a colleague’s photos of a trip to the Maldives, she spots a picture of Scott, apparently on a luxurious holiday with another woman.

Lucy is determined to protect her best friend from her husband’s seeming infidelity, but when she learns that the woman in the photo has gone missing, she can’t help but fear that Scott was involved. As she searches for answers, she uncovers secrets about her friends and her own husband that could destroy the wonderful lives they have built…and she suspects that everybody around her knows much more about the missing woman than they are letting on. Is Lucy actually the one most in the dark? If so, what are the consequences of discovering the truth?

Adele’s Review:

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Couple In The Photo. Helen Cooper’s book is expertly plotted, extremely well-written, and her characters are well drawn and believable. The twists and turns bring readers to another unexpected plot layer as the story deepens.

Lucy, the protagonist, tells the tale in a clear, reader-friendly voice that evokes empathy on every page. Though it’s hard to imagine the crisis she faces in the real world, this reviewer was able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride. An entertaining novel and highly recommended.
