Olivia is released from prison having served five years for the attempted murder of her husband. However, Olivia is adamant that she was framed and is determined to prove her innocence.
Audiobooks are relatively new to me having only listened to six but I have to say this one has been the best of them. Right from the opening sentence the action never lets up. Olivia was about to leave her husband when he framed her with the help of a female police officer. Her lover disappeared from the scene completely.
Having served her time Olivia has two things on her mind when she is released; to clear her name and to reconnect with her daughter. You can feel the frustration of the main character, particularly in view of her innocence. Very few people believe her so once she is released she only has a couple of people to offer her support. One of the ex-prisoners she did time with is the best character in the story. Added to the mix is Olivia not knowing exactly who she can trust and her ex-lover suddenly getting in touch.
Trying to prove she was framed was a little like an onion, as one layer is peeled off another, more intricate layer is revealed. All of this adds to the tension and with time running out you wonder if Olivia will be able to succeed.
The Guilty Couple by C. L. Taylor will be published on 23rd June 2022 in audio, hardback and ebook format. My thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins for a review copy.
