Helpful Score: 2

I couldn't finish this book. I really did try, and I *hate* giving up on a book, but this one I just couldn't stomach. It's about a woman named Betsy who is wrongfully convicted of killing her neighbor while she was sleepwalking, freed on a DNA exoneration, and then presumably must find the true killer. I'm sure this author is a capable and well established author, but I found so many errors in this book that I just couldn't suspend any fraction of disbelief. Firstly, the author would have us believe that there are no mirrors in prison, and therefore the main character hadn't seen a reflection of herself in the 12 years she was incarcerated. Then she wanted us to believe that her heroine asked her husband for a divorce so that she, the prisoner, could have "a life." Save yourself the trouble of reading this book, and just read the last chapter, or find a spoiler elsewhere.
