Adultery

Adultery
An editor has a fling with a colleague at the Frankfurt Book Fair. They go away for a few days to Devon (a place that had special meaning for Fielding and his wife)and she is brutally murdered. The novel covers a week in the life of Dan Fielding, a happily married husband and father, who must face his wife, his daughter,the victim's family and his own culpability. Fielding is a good person and we feel his moral struggle as he tries to come to terms with a calamity that will define the rest of his life. I couldn't put it down.
