Description:
From the author of the No. 1 bestseller, Letters from Malta.
Emma Raven thought she knew everything there was to know about Andrew, her clever, ambitious, good-looking husband. They had been happily married for twenty-six years; they had even been at school together: Bernie Silver ‒ Andrew’s friend from university in the 1980s and partner in their Islington business, That Music Place ‒ thought he knew him, too.
How wrong they both were. When Andrew is rushed to hospital, and Bernie needs to look at a little red notebook kept locked in his partner’s desk at home in the Hertfordshire village of Pengate … a whole new side of Andrew’s character comes to light.
Can Emma stay true to her husband, knowing what she does? As her seemingly well-ordered life begins to unravel, in Waltham Cross small-time crook Garry Wade, despite having just come into legitimate money for the first time in his life, discovers that he has good reason to hate Andrew Raven. Should he seek revenge and risk going back to prison?
Her Almost Perfect Husband is a poignant story of love and deception, and the importance of human relationships set against material success.
