The police are coming, they’re going to arrest me.’ My blood runs cold at his words. My husband is accused of murder. He swears he is innocent – so why won’t he tell me where he really was that night?
I feel so lucky to have my handsome husband Mark and our blue-eyed little boy. Everyone says we’re the perfect family. I used to believe them.
But everything changes when Mark comes home from a work trip with dark circles under his eyes. That night I jump at a hammering at the door. The police want to question him about the murder of a beautiful, blonde young woman. Mark swears he had nothing to do with it, that she was a colleague, nothing more.
Mark is a respected airline pilot, and the model husband and father. It seems impossible that he would be involved in something like this. But he won’t say a word about where he really was. I believe that he’s not a killer – but I know he’s hiding something. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Then my husband is attacked. I sit by his hospital bed praying for him to wake up, tears streaming down my face. The police say it’s an accident. But what if someone has done this to him?
I go rigid with fear when I see someone hidden in the garden, watching the house. Are they coming to hurt us too? I’ll do anything to protect my precious little boy – and I have to start by uncovering my husband’s lies…

Review
Of course you trust the people you love. Love and trust do go hand in hand, because without trust there would not be any love and vice versa.
nAnd then the police knocks on your door accusing your dear husband of murder. How would you feel about that? Would you still trust him for 100% or would you feel the doubt creeping in your mind? After all, how good do you know really someone? Everybody has a darker side and things they want to keep to themselves, right? And, honestly, his behaviour does not help you to believe him.
Fortunately, there are some people who want to jump in and help you the best they can so you can have the time to dig deeper, hoping to uncover the truth.
And boy oh boy, you did unbox some nasty things…
This is a very enjoyable book. The author takes us on a journey through a web of lies and deceit, but in the end, as per usual, the truth will come to the surface.
I liked the characters, playing their role wonderfully, but I liked Mark the least. In my opinion he did not put the right persons fist. 5 stars
Thank you
