I think in future I'll be watching the partner standing quietly in the background just as much as the accused who the press are making a fuss over.Our Book Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464177672801563525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512672423404004937.post-74261545654966540942016-01-15T15:34:52.583+00:002016-01-15T15:34:52.583+00:00I've seen this on twitter but the comparisons ...I've seen this on twitter but the comparisons to Gone Girl I admit put me off checking it out any further (too much of a trend).
