Clio finds her husband (separated but not divorced, so the title says ex but he’s technically still her husband) dead on her front steps after a night of drinking. She doesn’t think she killed him, but isn’t certain. 

Starting this book gave me Finlay Donovan vibes. It diverted from that idea (mild spoiler alert: because they called the police rather than trying to cover up the murder) but it seems to be similar main characters. 

I’m not sure how I felt about having multiple main characters/narrators who provide quite a bit of backstory. I felt there was a lot going on and some things should have been fleshed out more or maybe there were just too many coincidences to be believable. 

This book held my attention from the beginning; I finished this in a day. It was a bit predictable but still an enjoyable read.  

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for a chance to read and review this book.
