It seems like a very normal day in a conventional marriage. Beth and David had a steady, conventional marriage until the day David left for work as usual, drove head on onto a lorry at high speed and was killed instantly. Unraveling the whys and hows was what left Beth not just with unanswered questions but led her to a morass of never ending lies and suspicions and betrayals. Did Beth even know the man she was married to.
The story led you on gently at first but it was bewildering because each day brought fresh clues to another life, which had seemed so well hidden that it was if Beth and David were strangers to each other not a husband and wife. How well one could have a second life, a second home totally parallel to the other becomes a reality with this book.
The ending was unexpected! It also got you thinking how many of us live duplicate lives!!

This sounds like a page turner!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this one and the author's name seems familiar as if I read something by her previously.
ReplyDeletei agree, this does sound good. The premise reminds me of The Widow by Fiona Barton, which I really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your comments.
