The Last One to See Him By Kathryn Croft

Description

A married man is dead. I was the last one to see him. Just as his wife planned…

After meeting Jamie’s smiling blue eyes across a crowded bar, I tell myself, that after my recent divorce, this is the bit of fun that I need. It is the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.

Because when I return to his flat the next day, excited to see him again, I am horrified to discover he has been murdered.

I know I should tell the police, but I can’t be the person to call them. With my past they will just assume the worst…

I need to act normal and just focus on my little boy. A playdate at his new friend’s house is the perfect distraction.

But as our sons run riot upstairs, and I admire his mother’s elegant living room, I see it. The wedding photo on the wall. The man in the photo is Jamie.

A shiver slides down my spine. I had no idea that Jamie was married. And now I’m drinking tea with his wife.

This can’t be a coincidence. And when I find an old newspaper cutting about me on her kitchen table, the shocking thought comes. Did she plan for me to meet her husband the night he was murdered?

How much does she know about me? Why would she want me to get close to her husband? And with her watching my every move, if I discover the truth, will she destroy me?

A completely gripping page-turner from the Amazon number 1 bestselling author of The Girl with No Past. Fans of Lisa Jewell and The Housemaid won’t be able to put The Last One to See Him down.
