IT STARTED WITH A KISS

AND ENDED IN MURDER...

The darkly addictive new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of I Looked Away, Blood Sisters and My Husband's Wife.

In Poppy Page's mind, there are two types of women in this world: those who are faithful to their husbands, and those who are not. Until now, Poppy has never questioned which she was.

But when handsome, charming Matthew Gordon walks back into her life after almost two decades, that changes. Poppy makes a single mistake - and that mistake will be far more dangerous than she could imagine.

Someone is going to pay for it with their life . . .

Critic reviews

Absolutely brilliant...full of twists and turns that left me positively breathless (Angela Marsons)
I loved this cleverly written tale of the devastating consequences of a wife's mistake (Emma Curtis)
A python of a book; it draws you in gently at first and then the coils of tension begin to tighten and refuse to let you go...The emotional sucker punch at the end was unexpected and terrific (Jane Shemilt)
What an addictive read! Extremely clever storytelling with terrific pace and real emotional depth too. I loved it (Teresa Driscoll)
Readers you are in for a tremendous treat - a roller-coaster of a ride that will leave you screaming, 'No!' on more than one occasion (Carol Wyer)
Fans of Louise Doughty and Clare Mackintosh will love I Made a Mistake. Exhilarating and heartbreaking in equal measure, this story will stay with me for a long time (Nuala Ellwood)
Jane Corry is at the top of her game and her latest novel cements her place as one of the superstars of the genre. Addictive, dark, and all too believable, I Made A Mistake is her best yet (Phoebe Morgan)
I love all Jane Corry's books but this is her best yet. So clever, compulsive and twisty with a reveal I never saw coming. Superb (Claire Douglas)
I Made a Mistake is an absorbing and gripping masterpiece, skilfully plotted with superbly drawn characters who will stay with you long after you've finished reading (Kathryn Croft)
Corry often explores darker themes, and those living on the fringes of society and this book is no exception: gritty, real, interesting and clever. Highly recommended (Gillian McAllister)

This is the first novel I’ve listen to from Jane Corry. Used to read thrillers who usually start with the crime committed and frantically searching for the motive and the murderer I was somehow surprised this was not the case in this novel. So, one question came up “where is the crime?”, well, I loved this different writing style! It’s original, refreshing and it makes you far more connected to the characters and their stories. I finished this one and went to start another one from Jane Corry (I Looked Away)

Finally some different writing style

it was sort of a good listen but a little tedious, got bored at times

I made a mistake.

I just couldn’t get beyond the fact that all the characters, apart from Betty, were thoroughly unlikable. I need someone to become invested in. It seemed the characters “characters“ were, unnecessarily, too front and centre to let the story through. Like when you listen to bad book because the narrator is excellent or vice versa. Neither should usurp the other. But here it was like it would be if say the wrong actors had been chosen for the roles in play.

Not for me
