Reconstructing Amelia

A long-time friend is accused of murdering his wife, and only she—as a lawyer—can help him avoid the charge. Yielding to his requests, she takes the case, even though she isn’t truly sure he’s innocent and she hates working with crime. What’s more, Lizzie has her own couple of dark secrets that the public mustn’t know about—and that could come to light if she isn’t careful.

And the deeper Lizzie gets into the tangled murder story that happened after a frivolous social party, the more worrying parallels she draws with her own life. Soon her reputation, her career, and her relationship with her husband are put at risk.

You can’t trust anyone or anything—Lizzie has always known that. But again and again she makes this mistake.
