Description
His ex is dead. His new wife knows the truth.
As I sit watching my husband, Detective Conor Slater, accept an award for excellence in service, I’m reminded of how many people in Tennessee see him as a hero. But to me, he’s more than that. I smile up at the man who hands me a fresh cup of coffee every single morning, who covers me with a blanket when I fall asleep. Who’s finally moved on since the tragic loss of his first wife…
But suddenly the voice of a reporter rings out:
“Detective Slater, did you kill your ex-wife?”
And then they turn to me:
“Did you know you married a murderer?”
But the question isn’t whether I believe Conor Slater killed his first wife. It’s how I know that he did. And why I married him anyway.
An unbelievably twisty psychological thriller from international multi-million-copy bestseller Mary Stone that will have you gasping out loud. Fans of The Housemaid, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be completely addicted.
