I requested this book for review because I liked The Life We Bury by this author. A few characters from that book carry over to this book (you do not need to have read the other book to appreciate this one but you should read it because it's very good). In this book, Ben is a lawyer whose wife has been murdered. Max is the homicide detective convinced Ben killed his wife. Boady is Max's friend and Ben's lawyer which is making life interesting. This is a great mystery with good twists and turns. I recommend it. I received a copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for a honest review.

FEATURING THREE CHARACTERS FROM THE BESTSELLING BOOK-CLUB FAVORITE THE LIFE WE BURY, THIS NOVEL EXPLORES A RIVETING MURDER CASE TOLD FROM TWO OPPOSING PERSPECTIVES. Detective Max Rupert and attorney Boady Sanden’s friendship is being pushed to the breaking point. Max is convinced that Jennavieve Pruitt was killed by her husband, Ben. Boady is equally convinced that Ben, his client, is innocent. As the case unfolds, the two are forced to confront their own personal demons. Max is still struggling with the death of his wife four years earlier, and the Pruitt case stirs up old memories. Boady hasn’t taken on a defense case since the death of an innocent client, a man Boady believes he could have saved but didn’t. Now he is back in court, with student Lila Nash at his side, and he’s determined to redeem himself for having failed in the past. Vividly told from two opposing perspectives, the truth about the stunning death of Jennavieve Pruitt remains a mystery until the very end. From the Trade Paperback edition.
