I can see her through the glass door. She’s smaller in real life than I
expected. She looks the exact opposite of the type of woman that might murder
her husband.
Everyone’s heard of Simone Fischer. The young mother accused of
killing her husband in cold blood, one sunny afternoon, while their son played
in the room next door.
So when journalist Esme secures an exclusive interview with
her it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. Simone has remained silent
since her husband’s death but after a decade in prison, she is willing to talk
to Esme. And Esme, recently freed from her own toxic marriage, is confident she
can get Simone to open up.
At their first meeting, when Esme sees Simone sitting across the table from her
in jeans and a lemon tunic top, she is stuck by her ordinariness. Then Simone
begins to tell her story of an abusive relationship where she was a prisoner in
her own home, and Esme decides that the truth needs to come out.
But not everyone is pleased that Esme is telling Simone’s story. And when
Esme’s beloved sister is left for dead in a nearby wood, Esme’s life begins to
unravel. Forced to question what Simone has told her, she can’t help but wonder
if murder was the only way out of Simone’s marriage. Why has it taken Simone so
long to tell the world the truth? And will the consequences be devastating for
Esme?
An utterly addictive and jaw-dropping read from bestselling author K.L.
Slater about the darkness behind closed doors. If you like Gone Girl and The
Girl on the Train you will LOVE The Evidence.
Could have quite easily sat and read this book in one go - it really gripped me from the start. As you are reading there are so many questions that need answering that you just have to keep reading.I really don't want to give anything away and you really should go and read it for yourself.
It was dark. It was twist. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Go read it - you know you want to!
