A freak accident. An impossible choice. But what was...

The First Lie

When Paul Reeve comes home to find his wife in the bathroom, bloodied and shaking, his survival instinct kicks in.

Alice never meant to kill the intruder. She was at home, alone, and terrified. She doesn't deserve to be blamed for it. Covering up the murder is their only option.

But the crime eats away at the couple and soon they can't trust anyone - even one another...

Just when I thought I’d figured it out - another twist! Readers made the characters come alive! I look forward to more books from this author!

Intriguing!

I read lots of books that take place in the UK. So,.I have a question... Is there no self defense law? I mean, and this isn't a spoiler it's in the blurb why is it murder to kill someone in your home to kill you?
Pretty sure here in the US, one is allowed to kill a dangerous intruder. A woman alone seesa man in her home isn't she allowed to defend herself?
Other than than frustrating detail of the premise is excellent writing great narration too.

Fantastic. But....
