IT STARTED WITH A KISS... AND ENDED WITH MURDER.
The darkly addictive new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of I Looked Away, Blood Sisters and My Husband's Wife.
--------------------------------------------------------
In Poppy Page's mind, there are two types of women in this world: those who are faithful to their husbands, and those who are not. Until now, Poppy has never questioned which she was.
But when handsome, charming Matthew Gordon walks back into her life after almost two decades, that changes. Poppy makes a single mistake - and that mistake will be far more dangerous than she could imagine.
Someone is going to pay for it with their life . . .

I Made a Mistake is told from two perspectives, Poppy and Betty’s, Poppy has been married to Stuart, Betty’s son, for 20 years they have two daughters together, Poppy owns a casting agency for extras and at an event bumps into an old flame Matthew, the attraction is still there even though he did her wrong years ago, he is all that Stuart isn’t and it isn’t long before Poppy makes a huge mistake and ultimately someone ends up dead, but who killed them?
Betty’s perspective is largely from her past, her secrets and sadness, there is a lot of present day too. We also get the court case proceedings throughout the book.
I liked the way the book was laid out Poppy’s perspective in one chapter then Betty’s in another and then the court proceedings. It was full of twists and so suspenseful I was on the edge of my seat.
I thought I knew who the murderer was but I was shocked when it was revealed as it wasn’t who I thought.
Betty’s perspective how her life was like with her husband Jock was heart wrenching. The whole book had me switching from many different emotions. I really enjoyed it.
