Tom and Octavia Fleming have the perfect power marriage; he is a spin doctor and she runs a consultancy to the charity industry. They are attractive, rich successful . . . Then Octavia discovers Tom is having an affair and not only the discovery but the affair itself have consequences that are potentially fatal - both to the marriage and its power. For this is no ordinary affair, but one that leads to terror and danger, threatening other people, damaging other lives. Nothing and no one in the charmed circle in which the Flemings move can escape; not their children, not their friends, not even the one thing that seemed beyond reach - their own professional success.
This was a good Penny Vincenzi book but I have to say, not one of her best. I just could not get into the characters in this one and the story just dragged.
