Is the man you love a killer? 💀
I’ve been married to my kind, loving husband Lachlan for over twenty years. He’s my everything. 💕 We have two teenage children, a beautiful home and I feel so lucky to live this perfect life. Until my best friend says something that makes me doubt everything… 😰
She whispers it’s strange Lachlan has lived nearby to two unsolved murder cases. First, the murder of the woman in the small, Scottish village where he grew up and more recently the shocking death of a woman who lived round the corner from us. 🏴 The thought makes my head spin. It’s just a coincidence, surely?
But at home, I can’t help but notice that Lachlan’s becoming angry, not at all like his usual self. 😨 It makes me wonder if he’s hiding something from me. It makes me wonder if he could be guilty. I push the thought away, but no matter what, I can’t get rid of this niggle of doubt.
The only way to find out is to go to Scotland and get my husband to face his past. But when secrets start to unravel in the remote Scottish Highlands, I realize the truth is more complicated than I thought, and more than one person could be a killer. ⚡
