The Death of Us

When Edward and Isabel are thirty years old they are victims of a violent crime. They survive, but barely. They both go on to have successful careers but ultimately this traumatic event ties up their emotions in such a way that destroys their marriage. There is nothing slow burn about this. Home invasion, serial killer, decades of ongoing fear and finally an ex husband and wife reunite for a trial 28 years later. They connect in a way that outsiders cannot understand. Their love is deep and as their hearts explore these emotions, Isabel and Edward prepare to speak at the trial and must relive the day that has defined them. Half way through I wish I never started this book - but I was in and could not put it down. Horrifically disturbing premise, wonderfully intelligent characters and excellent writing.  ⭐⭐⭐⭐
