Sinossi
Un grande thriller
Pensava che i suoi segreti fossero al sicuro…
Jessica Wells è un’avvocatessa di grido, e ha tutto quello che si può desiderare: una carriera lanciatissima, un marito amorevole e due figli che la rendono orgogliosa. Ma l’arrivo di Edward Blake nella sua vita rischia di farle perdere tutto.
Blake, architetto, è accusato dell’omicidio della moglie, e la famiglia ha incaricato Jessica di difenderlo. Non appena lo vede, lei si convince della sua innocenza: l’uomo non ha affatto l’aria fredda e crudele degli assassini con cui ha avuto a che fare in passato. Jessica si getta quindi a capofitto nel caso, rovistando nel passato della famiglia Blake per scoprire cosa si nasconde dietro l’omicidio.
Ciò che però la donna non sospetta è che questa indagine la porterà a far luce su segreti che riguardano anche la sua stessa famiglia, qualcosa che minaccia di distruggere tutto ciò che ha di più caro…

Recensioni
I am sorry to say that I Have Something to Tell You was my first true disappointment in 2022. I have previously read some of Susan Lewis' books and liked then, so I was excited to get into this one, more so because I read it along with my friends Ani and Amanda. Sadly, they were disappointed too. I can Leggi tutto
3 stars You can read all of my reviews at Nerd Girl Loves Books. This is a pretty good contemporary mystery/thriller. Jessica "Jay" Wells is a high-profile criminal defense attorney outside of London. She is married to Tom, a criminal barrister, and they have two college-aged children. When Edward Bla Leggi tutto
High-flying lawyer Jessica Wells has it all. A successful career, loving husband Tom and a family she adores. But one case - and one client - will put all that at risk. Edward Blake. An ordinary life turned upside down - or a man who quietly watched tv while his wife was being murdered upstairs? Wit Leggi tutto
I was given access to read this book for free through online book club The Pigeonhole. This is an honest and voluntary review. The positives - I enjoyed the professional relationship between the main character - criminal solicitor Jay - and the lead detective Ken Bright. It was respectful, they share Leggi tutto
Not quite four stars, but rounded up. High-flying lawyer Jessica (Jay) finds herself entangled in the web of murder, love, loyalty and betrayal. Jay is also struggling with her husband Tom's infidelity. The premise for the plot was well developed, but I really did not engage with the characters. Some Leggi tutto
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. For a greater part of the book there is tension and intrigue and an awful lot of questions th Leggi tutto
Annoying, frustrating, not credible, ridiculously soppy in places and ridiculously harsh in others. No empathy or sympathy for the main character as her behaviour is appalling throughout. The end was so obvious it was barely worth reading. But... I did keep reading so that's why it gets two stars. I Leggi tutto
On paper this book is a crime thriller but it feels like so much more than a page turning crime thriller that takes a couple of hours to read. Firstly this book has far more interesting and well developed characters than your average ‘whodunnit.’ Our main protagonist Jay, is a lawyer in her 40s with Leggi tutto
It was all so good until the end 🙄😭
