Every Time We Say Goodbye - Colette Caddle (2012)
Marianne and Dominic have a solid marriage, a lovely home and children who are loved. This scenario is very different to the life that Marianne lived when she was a young girl, brought up in a care home and full of self-doubt. Her life now is the one she always dreamt of and the life she has worked very hard to create for her family. Then suddenly the news is broken to her that Dominic has been found dead. One by one the surprising and devastating details emerge. Although Dominic was supposed to be at work he died in a restaurant. His mobile phone is missing. Worse still there are other details that don't add up, a web of lies have been woven. As the police investigation seeks to find out more about the circumstances of Dominic's last day, other facts emerge that point to Dominic leading a double life. Marianne's family and friends show their love and support in this excellently written and compelling story about love and lies, truth and deceit and about friendship and selflessness. It's a lovely, satisfying read. (JH)
