The Detective's Wife, (Paperback)

<b>Everyone stares in admiration at my husband. As he accepts his award for excellence in service, his warm smile draws everyone in. Until a reporter shouts, </b><b>"Detective Slater, did you kill your ex-wife?"</b> <p>When I first heard about <b>Hannah </b>Slater's death, my heart stopped: we had the same auburn hair, brown eyes and difficult childhoods. It could have been me in that grave. Then I met <b>Conor</b>. Soon, I was putting Hannah's clothes in the attic and raising his children while he was out fighting monsters. </p><p>He looks over. "I couldn't have gotten through this year without Han..." He catches himself. "Without my beautiful wife, <b>Jo</b>, and my two children..." </p><p>Beside me, the children go still. I want to walk out--keep walking until I hit the Tennessee River. Instead, I smile: the supportive wife, who understood, when she married him, exactly what she was getting into. </p><p>Except I didn't. There are parts of Conor Slater I didn't account for--that keep me up at three a.m., listening to him breathing. </p><p>Then a voice rings out: <b>"Detective Slater, did you kill your ex-wife?"</b> </p><p>Every head turns toward me. </p><p>"Did you know you married a murderer?" </p><p><b>But the question isn't whether I believe Conor Slater killed his first wife. It's how I know that he did. And why I married him anyway.</b> </p><p><b>An unbelievably twisty psychological thriller that will have you gasping out loud.
