5.0
↠ 5 stars ⭐︎
Sarah Morgan is a successful defense attorney and has everything going for her. She’s made partner at her firm and she’s exactly where she wanted to be in life. On the contrary, Adam Morgan is a writer, struggling to obtain the success he always dreamed of, and his wife always working. The couple purchased a secluded lake house, a tranquil escape for Adam to focus on his writing—or so Sarah thought. When Adam’s mistress, Kelly Summers, is found stabbed to death in the bed of their lake house, Adam is the primary suspect. Even with the disgusting revelation of her husband’s infidelities, Sarah believes Adam is innocent. Desperate to prove it, she takes on her most challenging case yet: keep Adam out of prison—and the execution chair. With the evidence stacked against Adam, will Sarah be able to prove her unfaithful husband’s innocence or will an innocent man be convicted of a heinous crime?
Okay, but for real… why am I seeing so many 1 stars for this?! HOLY SHIT. This book was absolutely addicting and I could not put it down. With every page turn, I was forming a new theory as to who could be responsible. Was it Stevens? Was it Hudson? What about Kelly’s hot-headed husband? Could it have been sweet and innocent Anne? Could anyone be trusted? I HAD NO IDEA. Anyone could have been a suspect, and I was left guessing until the very end—at which point I was left completely blindsided and speechless.
The plot: flawless. The writing: amazing. 5 stars, easily.
I honestly loved Sarah. She was such a powerhouse, and it was refreshing to see those occasional moments of vulnerability in her. Not everyone can be so stoic and sure of themselves all the time. She was always calculated in the way she approached her conversations and next steps in the case. A lawyer, through and thought. However, Adam was annoying as hell. While I understand the predicament he is in, he was so whiny. It was especially frustrating because he literally did everything he possibly could to mess up everything—from the very beginning when he decided to engage in an affair in the first place.
I really enjoyed this book! I will be forever equally excited for and jealous of everyone who gets to read this for the first time because I will never be able to experience that again.
