What would you do if your husband was killed in a car crash and there was another woman in the car with him? Ellie knew that her husband wasn't having an affair and sets out to prove his innocence. She takes on another identity and goes to work in the other woman's party planning business to try and find out how she had passed the past month and if she even knew her husband. Ellie is convinced her husband was murdered - all she has to do in convince the police.A fast paced easy read. A competently written thriller undermined by the fact that after 5 pages you can pretty much figure out what will happen an 100 pages in you know with certainty. I guess the lack of surprises could be a surprise. But for much of book it's like there is a purple imp screaming from the pages it's me I did it look at me!. In short the story starts when a woman is informed that her husband has died in a car crash and what appears to be worse is that there was a woman in the car with him. Everyone pretty much, rather tactlessly, decides that he no doubt was having an affair. Our heroine struggles with the idea that it was an accident or that her husband was having an affair. Guess what turns out to be the case
