This book isn’t just about women killing their husbands. It’s about enduring years of domestic abuse that leads to a split second act of self defense.  To heighten the suspense, the story is set in the middle of the pandemic (in the UK) amidst strong social distancing guidelines. Greatly enjoyed the authors note at the end highlighting her reasons for writing this book!
