David Pepin loves his wife Alice but he can’t help fantasizing in his writing about her death. Alice is convinced someone is trying to kill her and suddenly bang! Alice is dead and David’s the prime suspect.
Unwrapping this conjugal conundrum is a trio of NYPD homicide detectives. LB Jeffries, crippled in the line of duty, overshadowed by wife Lisa’s celebrity. Lars Thorwald, who thought he had a happy marriage until Anna decided to teach him a lesson. In charge of the investigation Detective Sam Sheppard a man whose first life was destroyed by infidelity and murder.
Who killed Alice? Only Mr Peanut knows the answer to that one.
(NB The Shepherd Case is a true story, a colleague of mine who read the arc already knew about the case - I came to it fresh - and while she enjoyed the book she didn't love it because of that.)
