About this listen

Wife. Mistress. Murderer.

If you were being framed for murder, how far would you go to clear your name?

The debut psychological thriller for fans of Apple Tree Yard, Behind Closed Doors and Double Jeopardy.

I'm not guilty of murder.

Bethany Reston is happily married. But she's also having an affair with a famous client. And no one can ever know.

But that doesn't make me innocent.

When Bethany's lover is brutally murdered, she has to hide her grief from everyone. But someone knows her secret. And then one day the threats begin. With an ever-growing pile of evidence pointing to her as the murderer, the only way she can protect her secrets is to prove her innocence. And that means tracking down a killer.

An incredibly taut, tense game of cat and mouse - with a twist you'll never see coming.

a bit disappointed in the finish of the book.
funny ending and the husband seems to vanish half way through

Reasonable story, but became very frustrated with the main character, who makes a lot of stupid decisions. Guessed the killer, but only half the motive! Feel it was unfinished so needs a sequel.

Mediocre

I loved the idea of this book. From the description I thought it sounded fab, however half way through I realised that fab it was not. Contrived, overthought and frankly a bit silly. The lead character was distinctly unlikeable and in my opinion got all that she deserved and the twist at the end I saw coming a mile off. Not a terrible book, bit unfortunately not great either. To summarise..All a bit meh.

Predictable and annoying
