Before She Said I Do

She came home to celebrate. She never made it to the front door.

Zoey Monroe planned to surprise her mother, PI Martina Monroe, with one final Friday movie night before her wedding—a cherished tradition since childhood. But after landing in the Bay Area, Zoey vanishes without a trace. Her phone goes dark. And Zoey is gone.

Desperate for answers, her panicked fiancé turns to Zoey’s stepsister, Selena. When the search yields nothing, Martina springs into action, rallying her team, the local police, and her former cold case partner, now-retired Detective August Hirsch.

It quickly becomes clear—this was no random abduction. It was sophisticated. Calculated. Personal.

As Martina and Hirsch dig into old case files, hunting for anyone with a score to settle, a shocking twist throws the investigation off course: the kidnappers finally make contact—but not with Martina or the police. The message is delivered to Zoey’s future mother-in-law.

What secrets are the Ashfords hiding? And could they be the key to bringing Zoey home—or sealing her fate?

With the wedding day fast approaching and time running out, Martina races to untangle a deadly web of past sins and buried truths. But the deeper she digs, the more one thing becomes clear: This wasn’t about Zoey. This was revenge.

A gripping psychological crime thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and Mary Stone.
