Some major problems:
1. Jeremy/Verity got 3 chances to clear the misunderstanding but he didn't let me. He loves her, married her but suddenly on the day of her daughter's death he got suspicious of his wife. Then on 2 of the said 3 chances they got he forcefully stopped her from talking  for no apparent reason.

2. Too much leverage taken on the law side. Things happened and no police is being able to even suspect anything. Jeremy almost choked Verity in the last confrontation, how did police not see those marks or atleast marks of any struggle.

3. The manuscript, I knew from the beginning there must be some explanation for her writing it in the manner she did. No writer writes like that. So I do not have any problem with that but it is not easy to swallow the whole "anognostic writing technique" plot. 

The things I like the most in this book was that it was compelling and suspenseful in the beginning but the ending made the story animated and illogical at times.

Anyway I can not say that I did not have any fun reading this book. I had some good thrilling and scary moments which is why Verity is not a complete disaster for me.
