4.0

This was a moving novel about a couple who really loved each other, but after a dreadful home invasion attack, whether their love and marriage can survive. This was clever, with careful psychological examination of what crimes like this destroy and how they affect not only the victims, but others involved in the case too. I connected with the characters and found the journey they went very believable and authentic. I think Dean's focus on victims of crime in her novels make her books really stand out from the crowd and this is possibly the best of her work I've read so far. A compelling, moving read.
This honest review is given with thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
