London 2011: In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman is killed by a bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide?

A year later, her devastated husband, Adrian Wolfe, is determined to find out. Adrian and Maya had only recently married, and he'd always believed they were happy together. His children from his two previous marriages loved her. And Maya loved them.
She had a job she enjoyed, she had plenty of friends, and she and Adrian were trying for a baby. They seemed to have the perfect life. Why then might she have wanted to kill herself? When Adrian finds a hidden stash of poisonous emails on Maya's laptop he begins to identify the dark cracks in her life.
Because everyone has secrets.
And secrets have consequences
Some of which can be devastating.

I hate writing reviews for authors that i adore when they're less than 4 star. I really do. I adore Lisa. Her books are some of my favourite and i can't fault any. Except this book. I'm really not sure what to think about it at all.

The main character Adrian was a pain, if he was happy then so should everyone else be. Never mind there are three wives and five kids involved. How they even got along was beyond me. I liked the mystery bit about who wrote the hate emails to Maya, but I really didn't see it coming who it was in the end. There was never any indication of it being said person until the very last few chapters and even then i thought it was far fetched.

The only person i truely felt for in this book and only a little mind, was Maya. Who I thought was mad for even joining a family like the Wolfe's. She tried, but it seemed wasn't appreciated, everyone had their little digs at her and that must have been hard. Although the one annoying character who i was hoping be the one reveled to do the bad thing was Charlotte. God, what an utterly annoying, happy-over-the-top pretty princess. She was just there, for no reason at all.

Blah i can't even write a proper review. It's not Lisa's greatest book. This just doesnt' feel to go anywhere and it's a shame as Lisa has some cracking books.
