About the book
About I Have Something To Tell You: High-flying lawyer Jessica Wells has it all. A successful career, loving husband Tom and a family she adores. But one case – and one client – will put all that at risk.
Edward Blake. An ordinary life turned upside down – or a man who quietly watched television while his wife was murdered upstairs? With more questions than answers and a case too knotted to unravel, Jay suspects he’s protecting someone…
Then she comes home one day and her husband utters the words no-one ever wants to hear. Sit down… because I've got something to tell you…. Now Jay must fight not only for the man she defends, but for the man she thought she trusted with her life – her husband.
Review
Jay is trying to reconnect the fragments of her marriage as she navigates her emotions in the wake of an ultimate betrayal. Anger, suspicion and overall a lack of trust are always at the forefront of any encounter or at least they are on the inside. On the outside she is the wife trying to pretend to try, but let's not kid ourselves - it's hard.
The new case is the perfect distraction, then again maybe it becomes too much of one, because the man accused of brutally murdering his wife is very charming. Every piece of evidence suggests he is guilty, and yet Jay knows this man was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It is up to her to make sure he doesn't go to prison for the rest of his life for a crime he didn't commit. At the same time she has to decide whether to fight for her husband. Drawn in two directions she has to choose where her loyalties are.
Kudos to the author for the ending - nice one. Suitably messed up, so very much in keeping with the disastrous relationship humans tend to have with the truth. I also wonder whether readers will have the pleasure of encountering Jay again, this plot seems like the perfect set-up for a legal crime series.
