Think before you cheat
Vince Taylor is the high-flying CEO of KitzTech, a successful software development company which he built up from scratch. Now rich and firmly in the public eye, Vince lives in a large Mediterranean-style villa in Loch Harbor, which he shares with his beautiful and talented wife Nicole. However, there is one thing missing from Vince’s idyllic life. Despite several attempts at IVF, Nicole is unable to give him the child he so desperately craves.
Feeling under stress from so many disappointments, when a young and stunning new intern, Layla Bosch, steps into his office, Vince find himself infatuated by her charms and embarks on a passionate affair with her. Unfortunately, Layla is not who she seems, and it is not long before Vince realises he has made a mistake. Desperate to distance himself from Layla, he tries to end the affair, but Layla is not so easily discarded. Having threatened to blackmail him, he therefore agrees to meet her at their usual hotel to discuss a settlement. However, Layla fails to turn up.
Assuming she has simply accepted things are over between them, Vince gives a sigh of relief and continues as normal. Unfortunately, his troubles are only just beginning. Layla’s body has been found murdered in Central Park and he is now Detective Alison Barnes’s prime suspect.
‘The Guilty Husband’ is a thrilling and nail-biting story of betrayal and greed, the moral of which is that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Written from the alternating viewpoints of the main characters, it gradually reveals their secrets, while at the same time following Detective Alison Barnes’s attempts to unravel the truth. It is a cleverly written novel which maintains the suspense throughout. I particularly liked the ending which was not only a surprise but poetic justice.
