About this ebook
“A real page turner and one I lost several hours sleep to, wanting to turn just another page before I put it down. Another cracker from Charlotte Barnes, can't wait for the next.” —Goodreads reviewer, five stars
A writer interrogates a woman who may or may not have killed her husband, in a taut tale of psychological suspense by the author of Sincerely, Yours.
After twenty-five years in the remote English countryside, living under an assumed name, Erica Miller has decided it’s time for the world to hear her story—from her point of view, rather than from the tabloids or the gossips who think she got away with murder.
She hires Prudence Carr to write about her privileged childhood, her marriage, the affairs, the day her husband disappeared, and the day his body was found in the marshes. Despite evidence against her, the jury refused to convict, leaving Erica to live a life of quiet isolation.
Erica has a lot to say. But as the story unfolds, so does Prudence. It is clear that this project could make Prudence’s career. In this compelling novel of mystery and deceit, everything will depend on who gets the last word . . .

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Meh. I would describe it as a page-turner. It was super disjointed and frankly half a story.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A real page turner? NOT! So boring without much detail on any crime until the last few pages. Story was boring but I read til the end to give this review so hopefully others won’t waste their time. No thrill or mystery here.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Charlotte Barnes writes women in the way they deserve to be written. For me the ending felt a little rushed, but I absolutely loved the construction of the story and the terrific writing.
