4.0

I was pleasantly surprised reading this book. It started off slow with the typical husband leaves the main character (Anna) for her friend and Anna ends up having a mental breakdown. But the mental breakdown leads to an unlikely friend and confidant as they travel through Anna's past and parts of Scotland.

TLDR:
This thriller/mystery will take you through Anna's past recounting her life but in doing so finds an unlikely friend to uncover the mystery of an old friends death.
