Synopsis
Ellie Faulkner's world has been destroyed. Her husband Greg died in a car crash - and he wasn't alone. In the passenger seat was the body of Milena Livingstone - a woman Ellie's never heard of. But Ellie refuses to leap to the obvious conclusion, despite the whispers and suspicions of those around her. Maybe it's the grief, but Ellie has to find out who this woman was - and prove Greg wasn't having an affair. And soon she is chillingly certain their deaths were no accident. Are Ellie's accusations of murder her way of avoiding the truth about her marriage? Or does an even more sinister discovery await her?
Review
When Ellie's husband is killed in a car crash along with a woman the police assume he was having an affair and that their deaths were an accident. Ellie is not totally convinced and sets out to find out more.
This is a well written easy read, plenty of good dialogue and detail and generally convincing characters although modestly I have to say that I found the person who turns out to be the killer jarred with me from the start ! However I felt that the later slightly unbelievable plot developments and the rushed end detracted from the whole.
A good light holiday read.
