This definitely kept me guessing. Told in the present by Sylvia who takes a job living in a huge isolated house of a famous writer taking care of his invalid wife and the perspective of the wife through diary entries leading to the event that caused her infirmity. Clever and well done. I have become a fan of this author. Her books never disappoint.

Victoria Barnett has it all. A great career. A handsome and loving husband. A beautiful home in the suburbs and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfectâor so it seems. Then she's in a terrible accident⦠and everything falls apart. Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can't feed or dress herself. She can't even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with twenty-four-hour care. Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria's husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn't as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There's a story Victoria desperately wants to tell... if only she could get out the words. Then Sylvia discovers Victoria's diary hidden away in a drawer. And what's inside is shocking. I love Freida's books and I am aiming to read everyone she wrote. I'm now on my 9th book and so far they have all been winners. This one is no different. A shocking book turns into a book that moves quickly. You don't really know if the husband or the wife is the problem. You need to read this yourself in order to see what I mean. It's one hell of a good book and I can't wait to read my next Freida McFadden book. If you like suspense with your psychological trillers then you will love this book.
