Jean Taylor's life was blissfully ordinary. Nice house, nice husband. Glen was all she'd ever wanted: her Prince Charming. Until he became that man accused, that monster on the front page. Jean was married to a man everyone thought capable of unimaginable evil.
Fiona Barton's debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, and has been published in thirty-seven countries and optioned for television. Her second novel, The Child, and her third, The Suspect, were both bestsellers. Born in Cambridge, Fiona currently lives on the south coast in West Sussex. Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday, where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards. While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile criminal cases and developed a fascination with watching those involved, their body language and verbal tics.

When Glen is accused of a horrid crime, a dark shadow falls upon him and his wife Jean, the seemingly perfect couple. However, Jean stands by her husband, telling everyone that he is innocent, must be innocent. When Glen dies, the police and the press gather fresh hope that Jean will finally tell her story and that they will finally know what happened to the little girl Glen was accused of abducting...
The story is told from different perspectives, jumping back and forth in time from one chapter to the other. The titles of the chapters sound like a list of roles in a theatre play ("the widow", "the detective", "the reporter" etc.) and this novel resembles indeed more a psychological drama than an action thriller.
The author, Fiona Barton, has a great talent for creating characters that I find fascinating and realistic and at the same time disturbing for I always had the impression that they hide something, that their real intentions are unknown to the reader.
