Publisher's Summary

Yvonne Carmichael has a high-flying career, a beautiful home and a good marriage. But when she meets a stranger she is drawn into a passionate affair.

Keeping the two halves of her life separate seems easy at first. But she can’t control what happens next.

A well l written and totally engaging novel.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well written and totally engaging it deals with a passionate extramarital affair that quickly eads to violence, and murder. The story is further enhanced by a a subsequent court room drama which features lies and betrayal. This was my first Louise Doughty book and I will definitely look for others that she has written. Highly recommend. The narrator was excellent too.
