When I arrive unannounced at my husband's studio in need of a shoulder to cry on after hearing that my best student, Alex, has died, I see a pair of wineglasses drying by the sink, and my deepest fear is confirmed: my husband is having an affair. Most women would fall to their knees in tears and throw him out of the house - but I just can't bring myself to do it. Instead, I go home and cook a healthy dinner for our children, walk the dog, and unload the dishwasher without complaint. I need this marriage to work to protect a terrible secret of my own....

Not as good as I'd hoped it would be...
Narrator was high pitched and i didn't find it suited the book. The story wasn't as good as i had hoped it would be. I got the plot early on in the book but hoped there might be a twist at the end to throw me off, unfortunately not. Another crime revenge thriller but without the twists....

Great book but........ that voice AAAARRRRGGGGG
Almost didn't listen because the narrator's voice was like nails on a chalkboard! fortunately its a short listen. Story is with it, but I'd go with the kindle version if you have a low tolerance to feral cats in heat.....
