A perfect marriage.

Whilst struggling to cope with her almost overwhelming grief, Laura is plagued by questions and doubts. Was it an accident? Or suicide?

As events begin to unfold, Laura starts to question David's mysterious disappearance.

Great read, but the research on Australia was abysmal. We don't have Sheriffs or MEs.
