There isn’t a lot that can be revealed about this book beyond the synopsis, and that means it has a lot of secrets - always a good thing! This was a slower read, but also one that you don’t mind luxuriating in because the journey is that good. It is up to her to make sure he doesn’t go to prison for the rest of his life for a crime he didn’t commit. At the same time she has to decide whether to fight for her husband. Drawn in two directions she has to choose where her loyalties are. Rich, seamless and masterful storytelling with so many ‘oh my god’ twisty moments… Absolute genius. I was totally gripped’ Rebecca Thornton -

The first chapter of a manuscript arrives on Publisher Marina’s desk. She assumes it’s just another novel by another aspiring writer…Cara Jones was a trainee investigator only 24 years old with multiple diplomas & 3 A levels so a bright girl. DS Natalie Rundle gave Cara the job on looking into the mysterious disappearance of Jeannie Symons, her husband Guy looked high & low until he couldn’t work out why she would just disappear? I’m giving this a 4.5, rounded down because it was quite wordy and a bit slow in places. The actual story is fantastic, and I really found myself rooting for Jay. I thought I had gotten to the ending, and I liked it, but then there was ANOTHER ending that took this from a 4 to 4.5 for me. It’s a nice, cozy mystery/psychological thriller, and one I’d recommend if you don’t mind a drawn-out book. No doubt it will be received well by die hard Susan Lewis fans, but as an on-the-fence reader of Ms Lewis this offering failed to impress. There was potential for a more intriguing twist although I suppose had I read the book in its entirety rather than day by day staves until reaching the end, it was an OK twist. I loved the last line of the book too!

Cara Jakes is a new trainee investigator, she teams up with detective Andee Lawrence to look into the disappearance.Cara is sure that someone has a secret to hide. Susan Lewis's latest release (and my first read of her work - potentially also my last), tells the story of Edward Blake's legal headache of discovering his wife strapped to a bed, dead, and his being almost immediately cast as prime suspect. But all is not lost, as he has Jay on his side, with her experience as a defence lawyer matched only in importance by her beautiful hair, "come-to-bed eyes" and her failing marriage. Stir in a cast of (mostly privileged) clichés, season with a soupcon of dated writing and drizzle with a watered down jus of the thinnest of weak plot lines before serving with a side of "what the hell is this Mills and Boon plotline doing in this murder investigation?" It was happiness in totality for the first season of summer that she was there. Then quite a lot went on, including a love affair with an individual that ended up being one of the most wanted by the FBI. The pound also decided to lose value and the author realized that full time living in France did have its differences to a vacation for two weeks on holiday on a yacht on the Riviera.What I was promised was a crime/mystery, when in reality what this novel provided was a boring story about personal life of a lawyer who happens to have a client who has/hasn't killed his wife. I Have Something to Tell You explores a variety of topics… murder, infidelity, love and trust to name a few. This is a remarkable tangled web of a story and I was thoroughly engrossed from the opening chapters. I loved being the fly on the wall in the successful lawyer, Jessica (Jay) Wells's family and watching their dramas and dynamics impacting Jay's professional life. This was a gripping tale that kept me second-guessing everyone. When I convinced myself I knew where the story was going, a new piece of information revealed I might be wrong, keeping me guessing all the time. I was completely lost in this book; I loved every second from start to finish. This started so well. An interesting scenario whereby high flying lawyer Jessica (Jay) Wells is representing a man (Edward Blake) accused of tying his wife to a bed and smothering her to death with a pillow.
