I hope you don’t find him. And if you do, I hope he’s dead and that he suffered…
Real-estate mogul Martin Cresswell-Smith is the best thing that has ever happened to Ellie. After her daughter’s devastating death, a divorce, and an emotional breakdown, he’s helped her move as far as possible from the grief, the rage, and the monsters of her past. Ellie imagines her new home with Martin in an Australian coastal town will be like living a fairy tale. But behind closed doors is another story—one that ends in Martin’s brutal murder. And Ellie seems almost relieved…
Naturally, everyone thinks Mrs. Cresswell-Smith is guilty.
Senior Constable Lozza Bianchi has reasonable doubt. She sees evidence of a twisted psychological battle and a couple who seemed to bring out the worst in each other—adultery, abuse, betrayal, and revenge. If anything Ellie says can be believed, that is. As the case takes twist after spiraling twist, Lozza can’t shake the gut instinct that she’s being manipulated. That Ellie is hiding something. That there are secrets yet to surface. Lozza has no idea.
REVIEW: Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for this ARC in exchange for a review. I am a huge fan of Loreth after reading her Angie Pallorino trilogy a few years back and absolutely loving. I was so excited to get approved for this book and it did not disappoint. This book is told from multiple POVs in a way that really plays to the story in this case. We begin at the murder trial of Martin Cresswell-Smith's wife who everyone knows has killed her husband. It goes back and forth between the trial and all the moments leading up to the trial and it's the kind of book that you don't want to put down. The pacing of this book is perfect! Little tidbits that make you feel uncomfortable are dropped at the perfect times and the twist???? Oh my gosh this was another incredible book by White and if you are a friend of domestic psychological thrillers, one I highly recommend checking out! #netgalley #inthedeep
