He jumped to his death in front of witnesses. Now his wife is charged with murder.
Five years ago, Erin Kennedy moved to New York following a family tragedy. She now lives happily with her detective husband in the scenic seaside town of Newport, Long Island. When Erin answers the door to Danny’s police colleagues one morning, it’s the start of an ordinary day. But behind her, Danny walks to the window of their fourth-floor apartment and jumps to his death.
Eighteen months later, Erin is in court, charged with her husband’s murder. Over that year and a half, Erin has learned things about Danny she could never have imagined. She thought he was perfect. She thought their life was perfect.
But it was all built on the perfect lie.
My Thoughts
As a big fan of Jo Spain, I was delighted to get my hands in this book, and I really enjoyed it. I had to keep turning the pages as I couldn’t work out what was going on, and I was coming up with some crazy ideas as to where the story was going. I love a book that really makes me over think the details. I really liked Erin as a character, and really felt for her as the story progressed. Well written and really enjoyable. |
