5 oh my goodness stars

This book was totally awesome and kept me turning those pages to its "Woo Hoo" conclusion.

Jason Powell, a man we might all say is quite the catch is married to Angela who is the narrator of this story, They met and married and Angela breezes into a life of privilege. Jason is gorgeous, rich, and super successful. He is a dream come true right?

Angela has it all, a son at private school, a gorgeous home in Greenwich Village and a loyal husband who from the outside seems to adore her and his son. All is perfect right up until an intern of her husband's accuses him of inappropriate sexual suggestions. A complaint is filed with the SVU and Detective Corinne Duncan is assigned to investigate. Not too long after a second complainant comes forward with a much more serious complaint, that of rape and the Powells' whole world is turned upside down.

Add to all this upheaval is the secret that Angela carries that tends to undermine her and her relationships. She must at all costs keep that secret hidden, stay under the radar, never letting anyone into her inner world although Jason does know some of it. Chaos ensues as the author leads us into a page turning event right up to the end when the pieces come together.

This was a wonderful thriller that kept this reader turning those pages, coming up with theories, and wondering whose side to be on. Great story with a great ending. I recommend it to all those who love a twisty turning novel that offers many surprises through its pages.
