It seemed like this book had two stories in the same book that really didn't have any connection. The one story line concerned the mercy killing of a terminally ill woman by her devoted husband. The other story, takes place in the same town, and concerns the cousin of the husband. That's where the connection ends for most of the book. The cousin, who happens to be the police chief, is having an affair. This story line is the prominent story for most of the book. The mercy killing story line is in the background. It wasn't until almost the end of the book when both men figure out they have lost their wives, that the story comes together. This was not my favorite Jodi Picoult novel, but it wasn't my least favorite either. I will continue to read her books.
