Summary

Edgar Award Winner for Best Paperback Original.

A secret love becomes a fatal affair in a twisting novel of suspense by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Joe Hart.

When novelist Andy Drake returns to his hometown to care for his ailing father, a reconnection with his childhood friend Rachel escalates into a secret love affair. For Rachel, struggling to maintain the facade of a picture-perfect life, it’s an escape from an emotionally abusive marriage. Then Andy receives an anonymous note warning him to end the affair. Or else.

Whoever’s been watching is going to make Andy pay. Weeks later, Rachel’s husband, David, is shot to death. Rachel and her two young sons vanish without a trace. One misstep, one careless reveal, and Andy could look as guilty as sin. Clue by clue, as his investigation into the mystery unfolds, Andy discovers that he and Rachel weren’t the only ones keeping secrets.

Nothing in this quiet neighborhood is as it seems. No one peeking from behind the curtains of their homes can be trusted. And the worst is yet to come. Because David isn’t the only one who will die.

Critic reviews

“Hart remains a suspense writer to watch.”Publishers Weekly

Or Else is a thriller/suspense tour de force. Joe Hart has knocked it out of the park with a start-to-finish roller coaster ride of perfectly executed twists and expertly timed chills. Deep character development and rich narrative seals Or Else’s place as the not-to-be-missed domestic thriller/suspense of the year.”—Steven Konkoly, author of the Ryan Decker series and Deep Sleep

“The perfect thriller for a rainy afternoon, Or Else draws you into a web of small town secrets, lies, and intrigue and doesn’t let you go. Hart’s well-rendered setting and characters resonate like people and places you’ve known. Loved every minute of this absolute page-turner!”—D.M. Pulley, bestselling author of The Dead Key

- first person book.Slow paced for me.
Novelist Andy came back to his hometown to take care of his dad, they reunite with an old friend Rachel. The one that I like about the story is when they had a chance to get back together , Andy accepts Rachel with a baggage . (2 children )
Anyway, that was the time Andy recieved a lot of letter to not be with Rachel or else. But then he ignored it until an incident was happening to the hometown and they pin point it to him, until Rachel and the kids were missing .
Easy to read book with a well light mystery to it. If you are a fan of deep thriller with a lot of murder going on this book is not for you. Recommended for first time reader of thrillers/mystery.
