Before We Met by Lucie Whithouse FIC Whi


  
I loved this suspenseful and psychological novel.  It is the story of Hannah an Englishwoman who falls in love with a fellow Brit in New York City.  Hannah is working hard on a career in advertising and has been keeping away from commitments after a bad relationship.  But after meeting Mark, who was in the U.S.on a business trip, she fell head over heels.  After a courtship she gives up her career and moves back to London.  They have a great life going until Hannah goes to the airport to pick him up - and he doesn't get off the plane. Eventually she hears from him and he has a very long explanation of why he wasn't on the plane.  And he didn't call because he left his phone in a cab. The next day she tries to reach him at the hotel where he always stays......except this time. One suspicion leads to another when she finds out his colleagues don't know where he went and her bank account is down to almost nothing. Hannah is torn between her love for Mark and the mounting evidence.
