Sarah Morgan is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Washington, DC. With a perfect case record and having made named partner before the age of thirty-five, her life is going exactly as she planned.
However, the same cannot be said for her husband, Adam, a failed author who's grown to resent his wife’s meteoric success as he feels it’s come at the expense of their relationship.
For almost two years, Adam has kept his affair with Kelly Summers a secret, but everything changes when her body is discovered at the couple’s lake house and Adam is arrested on suspicion of murder.
Sarah now finds herself facing her most challenging case yet when she vows to defend her husband—a man accused of murdering his mistress.
While Adam is certainly guilty of sleeping with Kelly, the question remains: Is he guilty of killing her too?

rented the audiobook as it sounded like it would be an interesting thriller, but ended up being disappointed.
The story could have been interesting, but I found myself thinking many times that the legal/investigative aspects did not make sense, and all the characters were acting like middle schoolers rather than law enforcement professionals.
The plot twist was interesting and is what kept me going, as I saw it mentioned several times in the reviews, but in retrospect, it was not worth it.
I personally liked the back-and-forth perspective switch, as I had never read a book written in such a way, but overall the writing fell flat as it felt rushed and poorly edited.
This book grates on my nerve. Tests my patience like no other. The whole time I was thinking to just shelf it, put it in the DNF list, put it in the shit list or something. But of course, I just love to torment myself.
The characters. Oh my god, the characters. Where do I even begin?? They're all so dumb and colorless. The dialogues... it's a cringe-fest. I really could not understand how a book can be this bad.
I would like a refund to my time, please.
2.5 stars. Not super great but it kept me engaged. Some plot holes for sure and the motive was lacking IMO. Wouldn't recommend. Also why did they not pull together her and Bob hating together in the end?? what was the point of that lol
