3.5 Stars David leaves work early, decides to take a last look at his brand new home before moving in tomorrow. Much to his surprise, his wife, Tara, is there .. and she's not alone. David is distraught at finding his newly pregnant wife with another man .. a man he knows very well. When Tara leaves, he confronts the man. During a scuffle, David pushes the man off the balcony and watches him fall three stories to his death. One shove, one push, one accident and life as he and his wife know it is changed forever. I wouldn't call this a 'gripping' psychological thriller. There are twists and turns, but it is more than a little predictable. It's still an entertaining read. The characters don't come across, to me, as credible. They're either too good to be true or bad in the way of movie bad guys. I was a little disappointed ... but I will surely take a look at whatever book comes next from this author. I would like to thank the author / Bookouture / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Great read & easy to follow suspense that hooks its claws into you after the first chapter. I definately would have paid more for it had I known how good it was going to be. This author can definately afford to charge more!

Great book with language that paints a perfect picture. While some things were obvious before being revealed, there was still a good shock factor overall.
