Vanessa's Men
HER FIANCÉ VANISHED.
NOW HER HUSBAND IS GONE.
Nineteen years ago, Vanessa Rizzo’s fiancé vanished without warning—no goodbye, no explanation, no trace.
She built a new life around that mystery: a marriage, two teenage sons, a polished Upper East Side world that finally feels safe.
Then she sees him on a Manhattan street.
Days later, her husband is gone.
Now the life Vanessa fought to protect is under scrutiny—by the police, by her neighbors, by the people who think they know her best. The past she buried won’t stay buried, and every answer leads to a more terrifying question:
How many times can one woman lose the man she loves?
Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and impossible to put down, VANESSA’S MEN is a gripping psychological thriller about marriage, secrets, and the moment a life begins to unravel.
"Meticulous...Very satisfying." - New York Magazine
Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben, Lisa Jewell, and Freida McFadden.
“Jason Starr is hypnotically good. Some of the best new writing there is.” — Lee Child

I found this book to be unputdownable, and yes, it's a new word by me.
Like I said, un-put-downable. I usually am not a fan of the psychological thriller, but this book was amazing.
It's fast paced. Rarely slowed down. You get all the feels for the main character, Vanessa.
