Set in and around Long Island, there are some great places where the characters live, meet up and hide. I always read this author on a day I have cleared of everything else, because once I start, there's no separating me from her latest.

Sensing her husband behind her, Erin turns, and then watches in frozen disbelief as he steps through the French windows onto the balcony of their fourth floor apartment, and jumps. And the plot builds and unravels quickly into an intricate web of lies, secrets, obsession, heartbreak, tension, deception, corruption, manipulation, power, danger, desperation, abuse, violence, and familial drama. She’s so totally in the dark about what’s going on at first, but she’s smart and stronger than she thinks and never gives up trying to find out the truth about her husband. With the alternating timelines things are very confusing although I did figure out a lot of what was going on before the halfway mark.Her favourite authors include Pierre Lemaitre, Jo Nesbo, Liane Moriarty, Fred Vargas and Jodi Picoult.

As I worked to solve this puzzle, I thought I had made some important in-roads, but Spain would issue yet another game changing clue that would throw my theories completely into oblivion. Saying that, it did continue to shock me right till the end and I was dying to know how it would finish. Spain then flashes forward to a ‘now’ scene where Erin is in court, on trial for the murder of her husband. I felt for Erin; she thought life with her husband was going well right until the moment he jumps out of a window in front of her, which would be traumatising to say the least. Still, I have been wanting to read something by this author who has not been readily available in the U.

I've just read this today and it's not out until May but it's another corker from Jo Spain so I wanted to make a note of that. Trigger warning, this one has some serious themes including suicide, murder, domestic violence and sexual assault. What an explosive start to a novel with a husband plunging to his death from an apartment building, over four floors down.

The Perfect Lie by Jo Spain | Goodreads The Perfect Lie by Jo Spain | Goodreads

Erin Kennedy’s husband Danny leaps to his death from their apartment window, his police colleagues want nothing to do with her, and she rapidly discovers that despite being deeply in love, she really didn’t know him at all. The story hops between several past timelines and the present, which is at Erin's trial, eighteen months after Danny jumped to his death. As Erin works in the months following her husband Danny’s death to piece together what was happening in Danny’s life, painful truths are revealed and shocking disclosures are made. With Danny’s police colleagues being cold and distant, her family in Ireland and Danny’s mother in Florida, she is very much alone in a country she doesn’t know well. Her first crime series was broadcast on RTE in 2018 and she's currently involved in a number of TV developments including adaptations of her own novels.Erin rapidly becomes inconsolable as the shock of what's just happened hits her and she asks herself how on earth she didn't see it coming. I want people to feel the cold when they are reading this book so that it makes the tension unbearable. In 2021, she co-wrote Harry Wild, starring Jane Seymour, with the Emmy award-winning David Logan (airing 2022). The Harvard chapters don’t really feel necessary, and they are just clunky and take up too many pages.

She is currently on-set in Dublin for the filming of her new eight-part thriller, Harry Wild, starring Jane Seymour. Two of the timelines involve two college women who are wrestling with the aftermath of the rape of one of the women. I said with the other Spain book that she displayed impeccable timing when it came to switching from the past to present and I believe she again managed to do this really well. Holy hell, I quite frankly had to put my kindle down for about ten minutes so I could catch my breath.The premise is good, it’s well written, the plot is clever and it builds with suspense and intensity. One morning Erin answers the door to Danny's police colleagues and Danny responds by jumping out of the window to his death. The Perfect Lie is an unnerving, sinister thrill ride that introduces us to Erin Kennedy, a young publisher who, after seeing her husband suddenly commit suicide in front of her very eyes, finds her life turned upside down when she discovers her husband was being internally investigated, he had been seeing a psychiatrist weekly for the length of their marriage, he had bank accounts full of money he couldn’t possibly have made, he was working secretly with the brother of a victim who never received justice, and she ends up on trial for a murder that she may or may not have committed. Following a family tragedy five years ago, Erin Kennedy moved to New York for a fresh start where she now lives with her detective husband in the scenic seaside town of Newport, Long Island. And just when you think you know where the plot is going, she throws in a rapid turn to spin you off track.
