About
He thinks his secret is safe. But she knows the truth…
My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming and everybody trusts him. Except me.
On the surface, it looks like I have it all – the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth.
Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.
Except I’ve discovered my husband has been lying to me again. He’s using the power he has in his job to mess with people’s lives, and to get exactly what he wants – no matter who it hurts.
But he’s underestimated me. I’ve had plenty of time, in this big, isolated house, to think about all of his mistakes.
And my husband has no idea what’s about to happen next…
Review
Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to review this book.
I have read Daniel Hurst books previously and thoroughly enjoyed them.
However, this one did not hold my attention. I had figured out the plot less than halfway in. I found myself getting bored and resorted to skimming sentences. There is way too much verbose.
The storyline is good but the plot is too flimsy. The motive has been written many times before and the detectives coming across as too naive to consider the weak evidence.
Allowing the reader to know the killer halfway through gives it a different twist but I had already worked out the relationship between Rory and Fern by the time Daniel Hurst took us back six months.
Not his best work and obviously left open for a sequel.
