This is a story of love, lies and betrayal. It's about whether you should believe your husband or your best friend, when one is clearly lying, and it's about how you can try to unravel long, sticky messes of motives, self-preservation and vindictiveness. It's a story that is funny in places but not always obviously so. It's a lovely if somewhat depressing read, but if you like thrillers that keep a whodunit feel without the hassles of kidnap, murder and torture this one is highly recommended. Neatly written, slickly edited and sufficiently tied up at the end, it is an easy read without being simplistic, and one many will enjoy navigating.
I'd like to thank the publishers for supplying this book. By the same author, [[The Ugly Sister by Jane Fallon|The Ugly Sister]] is and [[Skeletons by Jane Fallon|Skeletons]] are also excellent.
