These lapses are linked to her PTSD, which emerged after she was sexually assaulted by her boss, who was later acquitted. Everything shifts when Ryan (Natalie’s husband) faces accusations of the same crime that shattered her life. While Natalie wants to trust in his innocence, her uncertainty deepens when Alice Lytton, the woman who accused him, is discovered dead in the woods near her home. Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Helen Stratton is on her own journey of healing. Her sister disappeared when she was just 16, and the police did nothing to help.

What a rollercoaster this was! Initially, I found it a bit slow, but then the action really kicked in. The narrative flips between two characters: Natalie, a young woman grappling with PTSD blackouts from a past trauma, and Stratton, the detective investigating the case when Natalie's husband is accused of the same crime that caused her issues. This book had me on my toes until the very end. I thought I had the ending figured out, but the reveal was a total shocker! I do wish there had been a bit more buildup regarding the real villain, but all in all, it was a great read. I’d totally recommend it!

Okay, this one was WILD. Govett threw out a ton of red herrings, making me think I had this one figured out. This story alternates between two POVS: Natalie, a young woman suffering PTSD blackouts from a previous event, and Stratton, the detective working on the case when Natalie's husband is accused of the same crime that caused her PTSD. I thought I had the ending mapped out, but it felt like whiplash once I really learned who was behind it! I wish there was a little more foreshadowing/buildup with the true criminal, but overall it was a shocking and enjoyable read. Thanks for the ARC!

A woman wronged and the detective investigating her husband’s suspected crime must work through a chilling and puzzling case! Great read! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This was a strong suspenseful novel, it had that element that I was looking for in this type of book. The characters felt like they belonged in this world and had the tense atmosphere that I was looking for. S. M. Govett has a strong writing style and can't wait for more.
