Clear My Name by Paula Daly 292 pages
Miscarriage of justice or the perfect crime? As the sole paid employee of the Innocence UK charity, it's up to Tess to determine if Carrie actually murdered her husband's lover years ago, or if Carrie is innocent. Three years into her 15-year sentence, Carrie is losing hope. However, Tess started to put together the clues and it does appear Carrie is innocent . . . but at the back of her mind, Tess still has some doubts.
This is a different take on the usual crime novel, and while the pacing is even, the story has enough ups and downs to make it a compelling page-turner of a read. It's an interesting way to tell the story, moving between the characters of Tess and Carrie, and moving back and forth in time. It's clear that both women have secrets, so you're kept a bit off balance with both of them, not knowing if they have ulterior motives or if their secrets will ultimately affect the case and whether or not Carrie is set free. I've enjoyed other books by this author and this was another good read.
