Book Description:
DESCRIPTION: Things like this don’t happen to people like us. That’s what Lachlan Harriot thinks as he watches his wife, Susie, led to jail in handcuffs. Yes, Susie, a psychologist, was found covered in blood near the spot where one of her clients appears to have been murdered. But Susie is not a killer, Lachlan thinks. She’s my wife. She’s our child’s mother.

Secrets lurk behind closed doors, however, a dark truth made chillingly clear as Lachlan’s efforts to prove Susie’s innocence uncover an entire secret history--illicit affairs, false identities, unimaginable deception--and this brilliantly acclaimed, page-turning novel speeds toward a conclusion as shocking as it is ingenious.

Great, great book. I loved this. I'm so used to reading things from a woman's point of view, or if it's a guy it's more action and not emotion. This was a fascinating look at a man wondering about and learning about his wife's actions.

i have never read a denise mina book that i didn't like, but this, i think, is her best....turns and twists and creepily eats its way into your psyche. the affair is not with the obvious paramour, the murder was done by someone you never would expect, and the denouement slaps you in the face!

great!!
