Susan Lewis has been one of my favorite writers for many years, and her latest novel had me absolutely enthralled. The successful lawyer hears the ominous words uttered by her husband as she is about to embark on a very important case, and her world turns on its axis. A superb book!

I love Susan Lewis and her stories - she writes her characters beautifully and her plot lines interweave in a clever way.

Jay is a lawyer, wife and mum of two who is called to defend a man accused of murdering his wife in horrible circumstances. As Edward Blake’s life falls apart around him, whilst protesting his innocence, Jay’s perfect life suddenly seems to be showing signs of crumbling. Just what is her husband Tom hiding from her, and why?

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to fans of Susan’s.

Oh wow, what a book, Susan Lewis again pulled out all the stops. I devoured this book, the style of writing was fantastic. The characters were brilliant, it is one of those books that keeps you up all night just so you can get to the end and what an ending it was. Did not see it coming at all.

Wow Susan had done it again!! A magnificent captivating read that will linger in your mind long after reading it!
Murder, grief, love, desperation and fear so many human emotions laid bare, with twists and turns that keep you enthralled right until the end! Brilliant portrayal of the gauntlet of emotions that can be experienced, illustrated so empathetically, so realistic and true to life!
Jay has it all or so it seems, great career as a lawyer,married to a high flyer living in a beautiful home, two children, and a wonderful group of friends but appearances can be deceptive! A husbands deception, followed by a bombshell several years later combined with a new client and it all starts unravelling in a startling manner with everything now in jeopardy and life is changed irrevocably!
A great suspenseful read that I would highly recommend!
Thank you netgalley for this early read.

Susan Lewis does it again, absolutely brilliant and compelling read, I could not put it down. This really boom really shows how different people can be and what we could all be capable of. When getting towards the end, I did feel another twist was coming, it I would have been happy if the book hadn’t had it as well. This is a tale which shows you never truly know someone.

I was so excited to see another book by Susan out, and couldn't wait to read it. I just love to style that Susan writes, it captures you in from the very first page and you don't want to come up for air until the ending. You will be gripped from this terrifically woven tale about Jessica who is a lawyer and has a lovely family and husband. But one of her clients may put all that in jeopardy. Edward is Jessica's client and one night when he was watching TV downstairs his wife was murdered upstairs, what really went on that day? did he do it? or is something more sinister at play here? we go on a journey with Jessica to uncover the real truth about what happened on that deadly night. Then just when things tense up her husband says to her I have something to tell you.. what could it be? twists and turns make this book engaging and gripping. I was sad when it came to the ending but by god that ending was superb. I wish one of Susan's books was turned into a film as I feel as though it would be a major hit.

I Have Something to Tell You
I don't think Susan Lewis can write a rubbish book as I have loved them all. This one is up there with possibly her best yet.
Jay Wells has a lot going for her , perfect job , perfect family and a perfect husband called Tom.
She then meets up with client Edward Blake , and that's when life for Jay changes.
The story is compelling , tense and scarily possible.
My recommendation is read this book !

A Seemingly Perfect Life…
The seemingly perfect life of Jay Wells is about to come crashing down, disastrously and excruciatingly. A tale of love, life, secrets, deception and the human condition which is both tension mounting and emotional. Packed with drama, twists and turns aplenty and surprises along the way. Empathetic storytelling.

An excellent read.When lawyer Jay meets her client Edward they instantly become friends even though he is being charged with murder. As she is having family problems herself she is keeping busy with the case as well as trying to cope with what is happening at home. The story has lots of twists and many secrets are exposed in both their lives which will shock all those involved and just when you think things are going well there is a final twist and things will never be the same again for all of them.

Compelling reading and desperately sad and very human. A well written novel about love and loss and the way we can destroy ourselves and those we love. Despite the sadness and deceptions a real sense of humanity reigns. The characters are flawed but still likeable, with their genuine care and empathy shining through the trauma. I both enjoyed and was extremely moved by this novel and highly recommend it. Get your handkerchief ready.

Susan's best book till date.
Jay Wells has it all. A successful career, loving husband Tom and a family she adores. But one case – and one client – will put all that at risk. Edward Blake. An ordinary life turned upside down – or a man who quietly watched television while his wife was murdered upstairs? With more questions than answers and a case too knotted to unravel, Jay suspects he’s protecting someone. Then she comes home one day and her husband utters the words no-one ever wants to hear. Sit down, because I have something to tell you.
Who's the killer?
