Holy shnikies…… ~Sheila

Sarah Morgan is a named partner of her law firm. At 33 years old, she is proud of her accomplishments and good at what she does, even though, admittedly, she misses out on events with her husband and time alone together in their newly acquired vacation home.

Sarah’s husband, Adam, has not done as well in his career as a writer… he spends many weekends at the vacation home as a chance to dig into his writing, but honestly, he spends more time staring at the ceiling than putting words to paper. Most often, Sarah has too much to do to go with him.

Then one weekend everything changes. Adam comes home early from his weekend writing retreat, missing his wife. A few short hours later, he is arrested when a woman is found murdered in the bed of their second home….
Sarah suddenly finds herself reeling as she gets not only the news of her husband’s arrest for murder, but also the fact that he has been having an affair with the victim. The odds are stacked against Adam, and Sarah knows she is the only Lawyer who can give Adam a fighting chance of getting out of a life sentence ….
But can she? Can she defend him all the while looking the other way to Adams’ self-confessed infidelity to save him from going down for a murder she is pretty sure he did not commit?

Holy smokes, this was good. A fast-paced read that left me with a big WOW at the end. This is one of those books I want to say so much but feel I can say nothing, as I want you to read it and pull all the amazing gems out of this one all on your own.

There are many twists are turns, and if you are trying to keep track – there are so many suspects but in a believable way where you can see why they would have done it… and still, at least in my case…. You have no idea.

With a little essence of Caroline Kepness (author of YOU) and definitely a little McFadden (but dare I say better than McFadden)…. absolutely worth your time to dig on in.
