When Caroline walks into the bustling bar of a hotel on a Friday afternoon, no one could have predicted what is about to unfold. With chilling precision, she pulls out a gun and shoots her lover five times in cold blood. The crime, committed in plain sight, leaves no room for doubt—Caroline is guilty. But when questioned, she offers no explanation and refuses to comment.
As the case explodes across media outlets, a popular true-crime podcast begins to dig deeper into Caroline's life.
Soon, her writing becomes the key to understanding her past—and potentially, the dark secrets she has yet to reveal. As her defense attorney scrambles to defend her, one question lingers: What happens when a killer rewrites their own story?
And as her trial approaches, whispers grow about a manuscript she’s writing from prison—one that might reveal far more than anyone expected…

"A writer interrogates a woman who may or may not have killed her husband, in a taut tale of psychological suspense by the author of Sincerely, Yours.
After twenty-five years in the remote English countryside, living under an assumed name, Erica Miller has decided it’s time for the world to hear her story—from her point of view, rather than from the tabloids or the gossips who think she got away with murder.

Erica has a lot to say. But as the story unfolds, so does Prudence. It is clear that this project could make Prudence’s career. In this compelling novel of mystery and deceit, everything will depend on who gets the last word . . ."
