The Widow's Second Husband

Lena buried her first husband eighteen months ago. Last month she married the man she met at the inquest. Peter knows what happened that night on the water. Lena knows why he was there. Neither of them is going to say it out loud. Then each finds something. A life insurance policy with a changed name. A hotel receipt for a night that never happened. Small things, easily explained, and neither of them explains. They go to dinner parties. They go on holiday. They sleep in the same bed and each lies awake doing the arithmetic. When the case is reopened, a police officer reads their statements side by side. Both are true. That is the problem. An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist, about the deal two people make when the truth would ruin them both.
