She was already dead when they found her. But the lies were still alive. Days after a woman is murdered, suspicion turns to the person closest to her: her husband. But as detectives dig deeper, cracks appear in the timeline — and in the stories being told. What did her husband know? Who else was in her life? And what remains unsaid? A slow-burning psychological mystery that blends domestic suspense, legal drama, and emotional depth — perfect for fans of character-driven crime fiction. This novel will be written under my name for now but I may decide on a pen name later.
