The lead character of this book is Jean Taylor, a hairdresser who was the quiet wife of the prime accused (and now deceased) Glenn Taylor. A young girl has been kidnapped and killed. Jean's husband is accused of the crime. He dies in an accident before the truth could come out. This psychological thriller is the story of his spouse and not the accused. She doesn't need to remain quiet and can come out with the truth. The storyline jumps back and forth in time. Dark secrets of their marriage have been revealed in this story. It is a three perspective account. Jean's perspective is in first person narrative and in the present tense. The other two perspectives are in the past tense. The question remains, who is the manipulator? Who is at fault? The tale uses minute details to reach to the climax. In the backdrop of the story, Barton has cleverly depicted how the relationship between Media, Police and individuals involved in a criminal case changes.
