I ended my marriage for a man who didn’t exist...

I have everything money can buy. I’m a good wife, but sometimes I feel trapped. And when I start an affair with a stranger called Ewan, my life changes in ways I can’t begin to understand.

Because Ewan breaks apart my marriage piece by piece and then he just disappears. He uses a fake name and leaves no trace behind; it’s like he doesn’t even exist.

Someone did this to me and now they’re waiting for me to unravel, watching my every move. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself – not even the people I love.

A gripping psychological thriller about the dark secrets in a perfect marriage. For fans of Shari Lapena, Jackie Kabler and B A Paris.

Pretty bad. Sounded interesting enough in the description, wasn't great but sample interested me enough to buy. Went down hill from there. Totally unrelatable main character, highly unlikeable and to be honest, rather stupid. The plot flimsy and silly.
