Nicki Clements, wife and mother of two, tells her online lover, King Edward VII, everything she cannot tell anyone else. Having grown up in a dysfunctional family, Nicki, a habitual liar, doesn't trust anyone, but the degree of anonymity she has with her cyber-lover gives her a euphoric feeling, as well as an outlet for her closely guarded secrets. Even though she reveals everything about herself to him, she eventually realizes that he's been lying to her about his real identity.
When an extremely antagonistic newspaper columnist is murdered in a most bizarre manner, Nicki captures the attention of the police after her car is identified on surveillance tape in the area. Their investigation into the unusual murder sets in motion a series of events that will have Nicki spiraling out of control and desperate to prove her innocence. Nothing is as it seems for many of the people involved in the police probe, and resolution of the case is only achieved after many shocking twists and turns.
WOMAN WITH A SECRET by Sophie Hannah is a spellbinding psychological thriller that starts out gradually, and then expertly builds to a dynamic conclusion. Fascinatingly unique characters inhabit a compelling, thought-provoking storyline as readers are kept wondering whodunit.
