Typical British psychological domestic fiction.
Her husband, Mark, is about to be arrested for murder, but Dr. Kate Jordan absolutely refuses to believe that he could have done such a thing. The police have evidence and a witness. Then Mark is the victim of a hit and run and is hospitalized in intensive care in a medically induced coma. Kate is frantic and Mark's best friend at the airline and a cabin attendant, Olivia, come to her aid and help care for her little boy. As Kate tries to prove Mark's innocence, she's frustrated at every turn by her husband's refusal to answer her questions.
This was so completely predictable. Much of it required way too much suspension of disbelief as events transpired that would have been total red flags to even the least observant person. The character of Kate really irritated me and there was the whole "everyone is in love with her" thing. I spent far more time in her head than I ever wanted and the things she did in response to situations often made no sense for someone who was supposed to be an intelligent doctor. It was quite easy to see what was going on and it seemed like it took a long time to get to the climax even though I read this book in a single setting. Ho hum.
Appreciated the e-book ARC from NetGalley and Bookouture.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre - domestic drama, psychological
