My Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was good, until the end.  Then it got VERY good! Exactly what a thriller should do. 

Angela is a single mother with a tragic past. She met her husband Jason while catering a dinner party for the well-to-do East Hampton crowd. What she thought would be a brief fling turned into marriage. Angela, Jason and Angela's son Spencer move to New York where Angela can bury her past where no one knows her. When Jason writes a best selling book he soon becomes a media sensation, while Angela chooses to remain quietly in the background to protect her secrets. 

When Jason is accused of sexual impropriety though, it is the the beginning very public legal issues.  While Angela stands by her husband's innocence, when things go from bad to worse, it threatens to destroy everything and expose the past that Angela has worked hard to put behind her.  Now she has to decide who to save, Jason or herself. 

Alafair Burke is a new to me author. After enjoying THE WIFE, I will be certain to watch for more of her books.

Happy Reading,
Christine
