 HE CHEATED. HE LIED. HE DIED.

Vicki's husband David once promised to love her in sickness and in health. But after a brutal attack left her suffering with epilepsy, he ran away with his mistress.

So when Vicki gets a call one day to say that he's missing, her first thought is 'good riddance'. But then the police find evidence suggesting that David is dead. And they think Vicki had something to do with it.

What really happened on the night of David's disappearance?
And how can Vicki prove her innocence, when she's not even sure of it herself?

Had me hooked incredibly quickly and it was a real page turner for me. 

Initially the book alternates between Vicki who may or may not have something to do with her ex-husbands disappearance and Scarlett a scared 8 year old who we are learning all about her childhood and relationship with her mother. 

As the story progresses there are many shocks along the way, all that kept me gripped at the edge of my seat.

This story was completely unpredictable and I loved delving into the backgrounds of the various characters and trying to guess the truth of the situation. 

With every reveal you get more settled and then bam something else comes along to get you thinking slightly differently, or your sympathies were changing. 

What a wonderful book, Jane Corry keep on delivering immensely satisfying stories that are well written and keep you on your toes.

Thank you to Penguin for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
