With the case mounting against her, Ryan must search his soul to answer the question that seems to be on everybody’s lips…Does he really trust the woman he married?Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.
