Adultery

'Adultery' is a novel that got readers talking as they did about 'The Bride Stripped Bare'. Did he do the right thing? What else could he have done? What would you do?

A young woman is brutally murdered at a seaside town in Devon, England. She had been in a car with her older, married lover, Fielding. They had been drinking and making love and she had just stepped outside for a moment . . .

Now she is gone, victim of a mindless attack, and Fielding must pick up the pieces of not only his life, but the lives of his family, and of her family, too.

How can he face his wife? His teenage daughter? His lover's family? Her mother and brother? And the inevitable media attention? How can he go back to work when everyone knows and everyone is talking about him?

This compelling novel is a simply and beautifully told story that explores the consequences of adultery.
