Publisher's summary

On the day Nora discovered that her husband, Hugh, had gotten another woman pregnant, she made a vow: I will come back to life no matter how long it takes....

It's taken Nora three years. With the help of her best friend, she fled New York City for a small resort town, snagged a job as the advice columnist for the local paper, and is cautiously letting a new man into her life. But when Hugh and his perfect new family move into a house nearby, Nora backslides. Coping with jealousy, humiliation, and resentment again is as hard as she feared. It's harder still when Hugh and his wife are shot to death in their home.

If only Nora could account for the night of the murders. Unfortunately, her memories have gone as dark as her fantasies of revenge. But Nora's not the only one with a reason to kill - and as prime suspect in the crime, she'd better be able to prove it.

Weak Storyline and Annoying Protagonist

if overly-whiney and irritating main characters are your thing, then this book is for you. storyline is only slightly less irritating. unfortunately it wasn't any less obvious.

Too tedious

Sometimes you don’t want a book to end but with this one the last 2 hours were so drawn out and tedious. Not my favorite.

Excellent pace & Well narrated.

I highly recommend this well thought out thriller from an author I wasn't familiar with prior.

Good book

It says here that the review is optional, so why won't it let me submit my stars without writing art least 15 words?

Riveting!

With enough red herrings to stock a fish monger’s shop, this is one of the most entertaining and satisfying read/listens I’ve had in some time. Definitely not a mystery you’ll have figured out half way through! Susan Bennett’s narration is top notch, as befits such a well crafted novel.

Highly enjoyed the performance

The actress really made this story believable and I enjoyed Nora's internal monolougue during her panicked moments as I can see myself doing the same thing

A really fun mystery

I loved this book! I thought it was a really fun mystery with a great female perspective. The narrator was perfect too.
