Description
Martha's life as an intelligent, highly successful social worker is shattered when her husband is killed suddenly in a hit and run accident.
Although the police are initially interested because of Thierry's government connections, the case is quickly closed and Martha is left dealing with grief, a disturbing loss of certainty and a nagging thought that she needs to know what happened on that fateful day.
As she tries to move on, more questions than answers arise and Martha begins to unravel. Will a move to France help or make things worse?

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!
Kate T, Reviewer
a really good exploration of grief. especially when then there comes the grief that is only added to by uncertainty of what happened and the suddenness of it.
i thought it was delicate
and tender in the telling of those awful feelings but it never stopped at knowing when to pack those punches so you as the reader are taken along and in to those waves of emotions.
the setting especially in France is laid out so well.
Robert manages to help you be just as invested in the need to know what happened and helps you feel what that frustration must feel like. and how that then mingles with what you do in the moment of grief but also then going forward.
this is a really great read. even better than i expected because of how well done it turned out to be.
