Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book. This author is new to me. This is quite the topsy turvy story. It’s about a husband who continues to cheat on his wife and daughter. The husband turns up dead. Now to figure out who could have killed him. I can’t tell you how many times I thought I had solved the mystery. Needless to say, I didn’t see this coming and I was in shock with the ending. I won’t say anymore as I don’t want to spoil it. Just get ready for the mystery to begin and continue until the end.
A cheating and no dead husband, a distraught daughter, and enough secrets and lies to sink a ship! This is exactly my kind of novel. I read it in less than a day, its gripping, intruiging and a wild ride that drags you along and a break neck speed! One to read for sure.
A new author for me which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a fast paced thriller read with good characters with everything thrown into the storyline to make it a great book.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.
When Constance hears the knock on her door her heart misses a beat in fear. She ushers the police into the lounge, and they tell her to sit down. It’s hard to stop her legs from shaking and their words buzz in her ears as they tell her that Daniel – the husband she has always loved – has been found dead in what they believe is a tragic suicide.
As Constance breaks the news to her teenage daughter Cathy her thin shoulders shake with sobs. She says that her father had everything to live for and he wouldn’t have left them behind. Constance knows this is true. Because she also knows about Maya, the other woman he would do anything for, the woman she has been following, the woman he argued with the day he died.
Constance tries to put her grief and anger aside and find out what happened for the sake of her daughter. But as she digs deeper into Daniel’s death, it looks as if he isn’t the only one who has been hiding things…
What did Cathy know about her father and his other woman? What really happened the day Daniel died?
This chilling and utterly compelling story is one of those books which grabs your attention from the very beginning. The author has really got into her characters minds and explored the different emotions.
This was a great mystery of a read around the death of a husband who although on the surface he appears to be a loving family man is actually having an affair and his wife is planning to leave him and take their daughter with her. When his body is found the police initially think it might be suicide but his wife is not convinced and his daughter is refusing to come home. As she grieves alone for a man she loved and hated in equal measure will the truth be something even darker than she realised. I won’t ruin this one but I spent the whole book constantly changing my mind over what had happened and then being blown away by the ending.
Couldn’t put this down! Loved it! Full of
Suspense, mystery and emotion. Thanks for early

A cheating husband is found dead by a park ranger in a normally un-patrolled portion of the Grand Canyon floor. Did he jump to his death, or was he pushed?
I prefer more investigative action and questioning of suspects rather than the preponderance of dialog inside the characters' heads that this novel has. The flashback sections in a letter-writing style were a bit confusing at times. Still, a well-written, enjoyable novel with brilliant contrasts painted between the landscapes of Ireland and Arizona.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
Everybody makes mistakes and when you are offered a second chance, you have two possibilities. You can either grip it with both hands and be grateful or you can realise what you had is not what you want anymore and walk away.
When you promise to walk the straight and narrow, you really should be true to your word. Some people though are weak and they think they are master in deception. They should understand nothing ever stays hidden forever.
I thought this was going to be a very emotional and gripping story and it most certainly was, but not in my opinion there is a word that is missing in this sentence namely suspenseful. I did not expect this aspect, but it gave the book extra pizzazz.
How well do you know your husband, your children, your family? Often not very well apparently...
Very enjoyable. 5 stars
Thank you
