Only the Truth by Adam Croft
4 out of 5 Stars

Dan Cooper has never been the perfect husband to Lisa. He travels for work and plays the carefree bachelor when he can. But now, on a solo business trip, in a remote coastal hotel, he’s surprised to find Lisa in his bathroom. She’s dead.

He has no idea how she got there but one chilling fact is clear: everything points to Dan having murdered her. Someone is trying to frame him. Someone who might still be watching. In a panic, he goes on the run. But even as he flees across Europe, his unknown enemy stacks up the evidence against him.

As with most mysteries, I felt that early in the book I was confident regarding who the actual culprit was. However, to the credit of Mr. Croft, the twists and turns in the book left me second guessing my conclusion. Even more so, I was completely off as to why the culprit committed the crime which improved my rating of the book.

One of the aspects that I really enjoyed about Mr. Croft's writing was his ability to introduce characters and interweave them into the story when in the long run they had little to no impact on the resolution of the conflict. This was probably the aspect of the book that left me guessing the most and bumped my rating up above 3 stars.

Finally, I used a combination of reading and listening to this book. The narrator was good and made the listening very enjoyable.
