This is an easy, quick read.
The ending was rushed.
It's basically a sort of mind fucking plot. But it isn't because a lot of it was predictable. I also found the setting wasn't clear and strange, as well as the plot having too many holes.

The cheating husband was an asshole. But he didn't deserve this ending.

Normal people would just divorce.

But I get it. I do.

Yet, it is just psychopathic.
The wife killed the misstress and framed her husband for it.
Her partner, who she ends up having a kid with and marrying a day after her husband's execution, also crazy


Up until the last hour everything felt rushed and chaotic. But that last hours in the story with the "plot"twist was rushed and just sick. 

Lastly this felt like a low budget bad murder mysterie show.

I just can't decide how I feel about this one. The male lead is an idiot, the presentation of the evidence is given in a way that doesn't really help us solve the case, and the twist is... good, but also not what I was expecting or really wanted.

Sarah Morgan is a top-ranking defense attorney. Adam Morgan is a writer. Sarah is much more succesaful than Adam and it leaves Adam feeling less then. 

Adam is having an affair with a woman named Kelly when Kelly is found dead in his bed. He was in the bed, but left in the middle of the night. 

Sarah is shocked to find her husband is cheating and his mistress has been murdered. She takes on the case and works hard to ensure he is well represented in court. 

The book is fast-paced and readable. I have the same issue with this book as the last book I read by her. The twist at the end was shocking, but it's because it comes out of nowhere. I am not a fan of unreliable narrators.

Ended up giving it a 2.5. I started reading it and almost dnf after the first couple of chapters but then had a long drive so put the audiobook on. Adam's chapters/narration kept me in, it was actually kind of funny in places (not sure if it was meant to be), but Sarah's chapters and narrator were not good. I would have evened it out with a 3, but the ending made me roll my eyes so hard I was in danger of driving off the road. (This scenario is more plausible than this book).

A read that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Lots of unpredictable twists leading to a completely unexpected ending. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I didn't. Very great book and great author!
