Publisher's summary

It's 2004. In Bampton, Derbyshire, Lena Fisher is arrested for suffocating her husband, Andrew.

Spring 2016: A year after Lena's release from prison, Andrew is found murdered in a disused mortuary. Who was the man Lena killed 12 years ago, and why did she lie about his identity? When Lena disappears, her sister, Kat, follows a trail of clues delivered by a teenage boy.

Sarah Ward's second novel confirms her place as one of the UK's most exciting new crime writers.

Just couldn’t get past the narration

Sorry but this narrator did not cut the mustard. Sarah Ward is one of my favourite authors but this version of her book just left me unable to continue. The performance was wooden and I just couldn’t continue. I will have to read an ebook instead, I am very disappointed.
