They can be disturbing but a little lighter than Gillian Flynn. My favorite was “What Alice Forgot”. “Nine Perfect Strangers” was a bit much for me, so it has been a bit since I have read another.

Not only did he think he killed her, but because his family didn’t do a full autopsy they didn’t know about the medical issue that ACTUALLY killed her, so they believed she was murdered.
Does it make it all better or something that should be swept under the rug, no, but a whole different life for all with that knowledge.

Was it self defence? Was it an accident? Was it a psychotic episode? If it was malicious, premeditated murder of an innocent person I would be fearful and would go to the police and ask for protection and a restraining order. I’d also move in with a friend or family member.

When we remember only parts of things our mind fills in the gaps to make the memory complete and believable. Also people believe what they want to believe. Even when the facts contradict our beliefs we will hold to our beliefs and discount the facts.

Maybe because he was a teenager at the time?

But his “lapses” throughout his life show how difficult it was to live with!

I just can’t imagine- I would like to think I would turn him in… but who knows???

He THOUGHT  he did.  And he lived his life as if he had.

There are so many factors, I want to think I would ask him to come clean but there are so so many things to consider….

However, I really enjoyed Apples Never Fall verses Big Little lies which I didn’t love… I also liked What Alice Forgot…. This falls somewhere in between Apples and Alice.
