'''[[The Richard and Judy Book Club Autumn 2016]]'''
When Fran met Nathan everyone assumed she was on the rebound from a lengthy stint at the mercy of Nick The Unsuitable. I imagine falling pregnant within those first few heady months may have added fuel to that particular fire particularly from where Fran's best friend is standing. But when this is followed by a hasty wedding and a move to an isolated farmhouse in the Fens, Fran feels sure that her new role as home-maker and mother, so very different from the London party-girl she used to be, is the right one for her. So when Fran wakes in the middle of the night to find Nathan's side of the bed completely cold, she goes to look for him. Finding him bloodied and very much dead was most definitely not part of the bargain.
If Italian detective novels are the way you like to wind down, then we would also like to recommend [[Angelica's Smile by Andrea Camilleri]] because it matters not which Inspector Montalbano novel you pick up; each is excellent and a story in its own right (but if you're picky, [[Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano Books in Chronological Order]]).
Once again, we at Bookbag would like to thank the publisher for sending this copy to us for review. We also have a review of [[The Crooked House by Christobel Kent]].

|comment=We are a group of five in a book club and we didn't enjoy it. There was no fluidity in the novel and going back and forth didn't make sense most of the time. It was boring and I skipped some parts. The ideas were good but I don't think any were fully developed. Also half of us think Rob killed Nathan and the other half think it was Karen! The half of us that think it was rob think rob was obsessed with the wife. The half that thinks it was Karen thinks rob was gay and raped the wife to be closer to Nathan. I mean that's not normal -shouldn't it be clear?!! None of us wants to read it again-do you know? I might give her other series a try as you recommend it but I find it hard to believe that such a badly written and thought through book could have an author that wrote something so good?
So in short you are not alone. This was not a good or enjoyable read.
