Only the Truth

Written by Adam Croft

Narrated by Nigel Patterson

He's not the perfect husband. But he is the perfect suspect.

Dan Cooper has never been the perfect husband to Lisa. He travels for work and plays the carefree bachelor when he can. But now, on a solo business trip, in a remote coastal hotel, he's surprised to find Lisa in his bedroom. She's dead.

He has no idea how she got there, but one chilling fact is clear: everything points to Dan having murdered her. Someone is trying to frame him. Someone who might still be watching. In panic, he goes on the run. But even as he flees across Europe, his unknown assailant stacks up the evidence against him.

Dan is determined to clear his name and take revenge on Lisa's killer, but the culprit is closing in. And then there's the agony of his own guilty conscience. No, he didn't kill her-but is it all his fault?

Reviews for Only the Truth

[edwardsgt · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Daniel Cooper is working in Herne Bay and has an affair with the hotel receptionist, then one night returning from dinner he finds his wife dead in the bath of his hotel room. This promising plot start is sadly undermined by a series of more and more unbelievable plot twists as Daniel attempts to understand who has attempted to frame him for his wife's murder. There are also odd chapters devoted to Daniel's childhood which don't add anything to the plot and barely anything to understanding his personality or motivation. Disappointing.

Book source ~ Kindle FirstDan Cooper sets up lighting rigging for movie sets. He travels quite a bit, so he gets to sleep around on his wife. A lot. He doesn’t even feel bad about it. Until one day his wife shows up in his hotel bathtub, 70 miles from their home. Oh, and she’s deader than a doornail. All signs point to Dan as her murderer, so he panics, packs up, and flees the scene. The hotel receptionist that he’s been banging this trip goes with him. What a weirdo. Anyway, they flee England for France then Switzerland. Blah, blah, blah.This story is awful. No, really. Dan spends the ENTIRE book whining about how his wife is dead and someone is framing him. Because he may be a shitty husband but he doesn’t deserve to be framed for murder. And who is framing him? Well, let’s run hundreds of miles and several countries away, so we can figure that out, shall we? Omg. No. Stop. I should have just tossed in the towel on this one. But I was genuinely curious as to who framed this stupid fucking whiny cheating asshole. Whatever. It was not worth the aggravation of listening to Dan. Interspersed with Whiny Dan in present tense there’s Young Dan in past tense describing how he grew up. That was a much better story by far than the current day one, even as fucked up as Dan’s childhood was. In any case, I recommend this book to no one except the people I don’t like. There are much better mystery/thrillers out there and I’m moving on to find them.
