Tara Carver seems to have the perfect life. A loving mother and wife, and a business woman who runs her own company, she’s the sort of person you’d want to live next door to, who might even become your best friend.

But what sort of person is she really?

Because in one night of madness, on a work trip far from home, she puts all this at risk. And suddenly her dream life becomes a living nightmare when the married man she spent one night with tells her he wants a serious relationship with her. And that he won’t leave her or her precious family alone until she agrees.

There seems to be only one way out.
And it involves murder…

My Thoughts:

I don’t know how I feel about this book, I found it really had to write a review. I don’t know if the author had made the main character someone nobody would like, if yes then he succeeded. The first half of the story was good and I wanted to see if Tara would get her comeuppance after she slept with a man whilst her husband and kids are at home, this man now wants a lot more and she is in big trouble. I really didn’t like Tara at all, I felt as though the story was a little too long and drawn out but I liked how we get to hear both sides of the story and at the end we see what is going on ten years later. This is my first book by Tony Parsons and I would read another one of his books just to see what a different plot would be like.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
