The prologue starts with a murder, as a good crime novel should. That the protagonist is writing in the first person, saying she (most likely a woman) did not commit the murder, is a twist on the genre. I like the psychology the author shows in, "sooner or later, they hold up a mirror and you’re forced to see for yourself." In the subsequent chapters, a man is calling from prison. What is it with prisons in this book with 'marriage' in its title! I would love to read the novel and see what roles these interesting characters play.
