Almost A Crime

With a slow start, and very unlikable characters, on a topic primarily about adultery, I didn't think I was going to like this Penny Vincenzi novel as much as her others... Ten chapters in, however, after emotionally investing the characters, I pushed on reading to see Tom (the rather charming and handsome husband with a wandering eye) get his comeuppance.
The aftershocks caused by Tom's earth shaking affair spread far and wide affecting not just a lot of people but businesses of theirs and their friends too. Interesting to read how each character views his terrible affair, and personally I found myself yelling at the pages soundly on Octavia's side. But my view shifted during part three of the story. Anyone who picks up this book and finishes it will have changed their view on adultery, I know I have.
I always like to think that their is a moral to every story, and this story screams that "bad" events can never just be blamed on one person - there is always another person involved, another factor to consider.
