Why She Killed Him: A Novel [9781611884210]

Overview

On a late summer night in 2007, Phil and Beth Porter celebrated their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary with their wealthy Greenwich, CT friends. Then, they went home and made love with the passion of two people connected on a nearly cellular level. After which, Beth gave Phil a cocktail of drugs that killed him and then called the police to let her know that she'd done so. It was the last thing she would say on the topic.

Devin Greene is a rising star at a local arts-and-entertainment weekly paper. When his editor assigns him to write a piece on the Porter murder, he has no idea why. He doesn't do crime stories. Yes, the Porters were major benefactors to the arts, but . . . he doesn't do crime stories. And what needs to be said about this one? Beth Porter admitted to the murder, which means Phil Porter was either abusing her, cheating on her, or both.

But once Devin starts working on the story, he finds himself drawn inexorably into it. By all indications, the Porters had a dream marriage to go along with their privileged lives. There's no indication that Phil is a bad guy or that Beth has a homicidal bone in her body. And yet she admitted to killing her husband before going completely silent. Which leads to one enormously elusive question.

Why?

Devin finds himself obsessing over the story, causing him to redefine everything he thought he knew about relationships, secrets, and the inner workings of the human heart. The fate of Beth and Phil Porter has gotten into his soul, even affecting his romance with a woman with whom he is getting very serious. His research takes him places no where else is going, because Devin is driven by a relentless need: the need to know why.

At once a suspense story and a love story, Why She Killed Him takes readers into the hearts of a deeply relatable, deeply complex cast of characters to tell a tale that will keep you wondering until the very end.
