    About this ebook

    A woman’s seemingly perfect second marriage is rocked by a discovery about the death of her first husband in this twisty psychological thriller from Kate White, the New York Times bestselling author whom Entertainment Weekly called “impossible to outwit.” 

    After losing her husband, Derrick, in what appears to have been a random street crime, thirtysomething Emma has built a new life with widower Tom, who is kind, handsome, driven, and successful. Emma is finally able to feel safe again, both in her relationship with Tom and in the home they've made together on the Connecticut shore.

    Then one day a homicide detective shows up at Emma and Tom’s door asking questions. Though Emma had been cleared of her husband’s murder, it appears that law enforcement is taking another look at her and the case. 

    What do they know? Are they on the right track this time? And most importantly, will the renewed investigation ruin Emma’s chances of a happy life? 

    With twists and turns all the way to the last page, this fast-paced, expertly plotted novel will have you asking that age-old question: how well do you really know the ones you love?

      This was a good read, with many twisty moments. The doubts of Emma easily become your own as you relive the reopening of the death of her first husband and the police interest in her second marriage. The end was not what I was expecting when revealed, and I liked that it truly kept me guessing.
    • 3/5
      Emma is awakened by the police to notify her that Derrick, her husband, was found murdered. Emma isn't too upset, because Derrick wasn't so nice to her once they were married. Now, 27 months later, Emma is married to Tom, and his adult stepdaughter, Brittany, is spending the summer with them. Emma is shaken when the police tell her they have re-opened the murder investigation. When things around Emma's relationship with Tom begin to seem suspicious, Emma starts wondering if Tom had anything to do with the death of her first husband. This was a mystery that tried to be suspenseful, but I never felt any tension. I also wasn't really invested in the characters, and I felt the ending was a bit rushed.
