The Nurse's Secret by Liz Lawler-psychological thriller
Sarah is a nurse and on shift. Her husband has been getting strange calls and letters and then she is unable to contact him and she is worried. The police arrive to find him shot. Sarah has a secret, we know not what, and also has previously been in a relationship with the leading detective Nick which they are both keeping quiet about. Who would want William dead and why?
I quickly got into this. Sarah is an engaging character and there is mystery from the very beginning. A story with twists and turns and where I thought I knew the perpetrator- but was I right? A tale where everyone is somehow connected whether in the present or the past- almost like a cozy mystery but much darker. A character driven, interesting read, albeit a little slow in parts . A book of ups and downs and how the past can very much shape the future for some if they let it.
