Neve was just having a mid-life fling, a small indiscretion that should have been a secret. However, when Neve pays a a visit to her lover, Saul, she finds him dead in his apartment. And not just dead, but brutally murdered. After scrubbing all traces of her existence from the apartment, Neve thinks her life can return to normal . . . but did she forget something in the apartment? Once the investigation into Saul's murder starts, it's clear that Neve's network of lies is about to unravel. It's also clear that as she tells more lies, that something dangerous is at play and it could have been that it was supposed to be her that was murdered, not Saul.
This psychological thriller starts with the discovery of a murder, and the pace is steady throughout the story. Neve is a great example of a realistic character who gets into something with not much intention, but then finds herself caught up in lie after lie. The whole time that Neve is trying to stay one step ahead of the investigation, it becomes clear that things are become more and more complicated. Her troubled daughter, Mabel, is clearly involved in something with Saul -- did she kill him? Did Neve's husband find out about the affair? There are some interesting twists and turns here that keep the story interesting until the very end.
