Jeff is an accountant with a seemingly average life. Married with a young child, he likes golf and lives in the small town where he grew up. Dig a little deeper and you'll find he's always been a little insecure about his wife Claire's feelings toward him, because she was jilted by his brother before they met. When Jeff dies unexpectedly, Claire finds clues that make her suspicious about secrets he may have been hiding from her. But the only woman who has the answers to Claire's questions, Jeff's coworker Tish, is equally determined to keep the truth hidden. By giving the perspective, in alternating chapters, of each of the three main characters (one of whom is deceased), this novel builds suspense as the reader wonders what really happened.
VERDICT McKenzie's fourth novel (Spin; Arranged; Forgotten) is sure to please her many fans and appeal to readers who enjoy women's fiction with an element of suspense.
