Intimate Lies
Jill Turner is devastated when her beloved husband Alex is reported missing - a suspected suicide.
Holly Grigson's response to her own husband's death is less conventional. She reacts with guilty, shameful relief…
Yet both women, strangers until now, greet the next piece of news with the same appalled disbelief. If the evidence can be believed, they were married to the same man. But can it be?
Immaculate and blonde, Jill cannot believe that Alex would have been attracted to the dark haired, chaotic Holly. Wholly can't believe that her art dealer husband could have led another life in the world of international high finance.
But whoever they were married to and whatever he really did, one thing soon becomes frighteningly clear: he operated in a dangerous, murky world. A world into which Jill and Holly are suddenly plunged as they strive to solve the deepening mystery around them. Plagued by anonymous phone calls, burgled by professionals, and threatened by shadowy strangers, both women are faced with the terrible truth. Someone is looking for something very important - and only one person knows where it is. But he, too, has gone missing…

Подкарала съм едни мегаселъри, уж романтични, но тук попаднах неочаквано на криминално-романтична история. Не чета вече криминалета, достатъчно материал има в действителността ни. А тази книга започна интересно , но постепенно стана голяма каша , която прехвърлих повече по диагонал.

The cover of this book was almost enough to turn me off it. It's horrible. Not usual type of book.
