Second Husband

Emma, a woman in her thirties, has found a fresh start after her first husband, Derrick, was killed in what seemed to be a random crime on the street. She has married Tom, a widower who is caring, good-looking, ambitious, and accomplished. At last she feels secure again, both in her marriage and in the house the two of them have made on the Connecticut coast.

Then a homicide detective arrives at their door with questions. Emma was cleared of Derrick's murder years ago, but now the police appear to be looking at her again, and at the case itself. What do they know, and have they finally found the right trail? Most worrying of all, could a reopened investigation cost Emma the happy future she has worked to build?

Kate White, a New York Times bestselling author, wrote this fast-paced psychological thriller, which is carefully plotted and keeps turning until its final pages. Its central question is how well anyone can truly know the people they love.
