Description

When her husband dies, Jean Taylor finally has the freedom to speak about the dark secrets she's kept hidden for years—including his suspected involvement in a shocking crime. As she begins to tell her story to those hungry for the truth, Jean reveals the psychological toll of standing by an accused man while enduring public scorn and anonymous harassment. But beneath her carefully constructed narrative lies a dangerous skill: the ability to make people believe anything she wants them to. In this gripping psychological thriller, the line between victim and accomplice blurs as Jean's account of her marriage unravels, exposing the sinister spaces that exist between husband and wife. Perfect for readers of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, Fiona Barton's debut explores how well we truly know the people closest to us—and how easily the truth can be manipulated.
