Believe Me Now: A Novel

Ten years ago, Natalie Campbell was assaulted by her boss, who was found not guilty. As a result, Natalie developed PTSD, causing her to blackout and lose time. Natalie received threatening letters after the trial, and no one believed her, causing her to move and attempt to start over. Her husband, Ryan, was her main support until he was accused of the same crime. The woman who accuses him is found murdered near their home, and now Natalie doesn’t know what to believe. When the letters start up again, Natalie thinks maybe her husband is being framed. Believe Me Now is all she can hope for.

I really enjoyed this book. There is a lot of swearing, and I’m still not sure how I feel about Ryan. However, there are strong female leads here in Natalie and DI Stratton, even though both women are a bit broken and traumatized. The dual story lines from both of their perspectives added depth. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of mysteries, especially ones that feature plots where you aren’t really sure whom to trust.
