In Sickness and In Health: ‘A masterful thriller’ Style Magazine

Nothing in Stan Andino’s unremarkable life could prepare him for the day he discovers his wife naked, except for a black apron, bleaching out a stain from the carpet that only she can see. A CT scan one week later explains the seemingly inexplicable; Carmen Andino has a brain tumour.

As Stan and their teenage sons grapple with the diagnosis and frightening personality changes in their wife and mother, Austin Lamb, a close friend and local doctor, does everything possible to assist the family in crisis.

Months later, Austin’s wife’s body is discovered at the bottom of Browns Bay cliffs by Eliot Bard.

But who is lying, and who is telling the truth?
