What an intense book filled with deceit, twisting of facts, betrayals, deep secrets, manipulation, and whistleblowing based on a true story. Cass Hartmann has been happily married to her financier husband Mangus for twenty-five years, or so she thought. Until she's not.
As she is evicted from her family home and left destitute, despite her husbands wealth, Cass is thrown into a world she never imagined: having lived on the idyllic island of Jersey (UK) she finds that the vast amount of corruption in the courts and government block her every move at getting justice. Luckily, Cass is blessed with wonderfully loyal friends, Alex, Veronika, and Bella, who help her navigate the murky waters all of their husbands seem to be neck deep in as they seek truth and justice for themselves and the women of Jersey.
