Anatomy of a Scandal
by Sarah Vaughan
The plot begins with introductions to all the lead characters. James Whitehouse – an MP in the U.K parliament, his wife Sophie and the prosecutor – Kate Woodcroft and James’s ex-lover and colleague, Olivia. It’s said partly in alternating timeline and multiple POVs. One where they spend time in Oxford and one in the present.
James has been accused of raping Olivia, with whom he had a five month long affair. The prosecutor Kate Woodcroft is not all that meets the eye. She has a secret that could affect the case but nevertheless continues on. Sophie on the other hand is torn between supporting her husband and facing the truth. But what is the truth? Did James really commit a crime or is it the case of a woman scorned?
The blurb is pretty weird with this one and I just happened to come across this while I was searching for another thriller. But I felt compelled to read it once I heard an excerpt. But I am disappointed.
The main flaw in the book is its structure. There are three lead characters but there’s no purpose or clarity in the way it’s written. The characters are very one dimensional, perhaps that’s intentional but comes across as dull and not worth investing in. It could also be so because it’s pretty realistic in it’s portrayal. There’s no fictional gloss over these characters.
