Great, great book. I loved this. I'm so used to reading things from a woman's point of view, or if it's a guy it's more action and not emotion. This was a fascinating look at a man wondering about and learning about his wife's actions.

A very slow read that takes FOREVER to develop. I stuck with it although it was easy to put down and ignore for days. Basically, the book is a diary written by a man whose wife, a psychiatrist, has been found guilty of a double murder. While researching her case files for something that could be developed into an appeal, he pieces together the facts of the crime and learns that he has been deceived. The storyline speeds up in the last few chapters and the ending is satisfying. This was not a poorly-written novel; in fact, I enjoyed the author's descriptions, her wit, and the intimacy of the writing. The story just wasn't as riveting as I had expected it to be.
