Product Description

A #1 Kindle Best Seller in Thrillers, Crime, Mystery and Suspense

"Rachel Abbott is the epublishing sensation of 2012" - The Guardian
   
When Laura Fletcher approaches her home in Oxfordshire to
find hordes of photographers crowding the gates, she knows there is something
terribly wrong. She is faced with the shocking news that her husband is dead -
brutally murdered - and according to Chief Inspector Tom Douglas, there is
little doubt that the murderer is a woman.


In a marriage that has taken her from the glamorous five
star luxury of London, Venice and Positano to a bleak and draughty manor house
in rural Oxfordshire, Laura has learned to guard her secrets well. She is not
alone. It would appear that all the women in her husband's life have
something to hide.


But there is one secret that she has never shared, and
when the investigation reaches its dramatic and horrific climax, she realises
that she has no choice. She has to give Tom Douglas the final piece of the
puzzle. And this changes everything, leaving Douglas with a terrible dilemma:
whether to punish the guilty, or protect the innocent.


ONLY THE INNOCENT is a spellbinding psychological thriller
that will leave you breathless!




REVIEWS:

"The author has it all here with darkness, abuse, degradation, drugs, sex and a murder. This is a well written novel and the plot is superb, nothing is given away to the reader. Several twists and turns. I highly recommend it."

"Excellent and intriguing start which had me hooked from the first page."

"A brilliantly written storyline that's hard to put down, I highly recommend this book and the author."

"The more I read ... the more I understood why someone would kill him, but even then the end-all reason knocked me back a few pegs. When everything was said and done I was left with the question that Abbott poses in her blurb, do you punish the guilty, or protect the innocent?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping novel 11 Jan 2012
By marglyn
Format:Kindle Edition
This book was sent to my kindle for me to review.
The author has it all here with darkness, abuse, degradation, drugs, sex and a murder at the start of the novel. The husband is a control freak and his idea of marital relations are not the normal ones found in a loving relationship. His wife is not aware of this at first but begins to see something is not right on their honeymoon. It is the wife who tells most of the story through the letters she writes to her best friend. The caring policeman who is drawn to the wife, the missing girls and his own daughter are all involved in different ways.

This is a well written novel and the plot is superb, nothing is given away to the reader. Several twists and turns. I highly recommend it and look forward to reading more of this authors works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable! 30 April 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the second Rachel Abbott novel I've read and I enjoyed it immensely! She has a wonderful way of making the characters very real and engaging so you can't help but read on to find out more about what has and is happening to them. The writing style is very descriptive so you can really picture the characters, places and scenes in the book for yourself. The plot of this book built up steadily and kept me hooked and I'm delighted to say that I didn't see the end coming, which is unusual for me. A top class read and I hope Rachel brings out another book very soon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Page turner!! 18 Mar 2012
By Kim89
Format:Kindle Edition
I found this book very hard to put down!! The twists and turns the novel took were enough to keep you shocked and want to know more. It really annoys me when people write reviews which clearly over analyse the content ... Just read and enjoy or not enjoy don't go into dialogue, character depth etc etc.

This book certainly entertained me on a rainy Sunday, which is what u want from a book !!!

The good thing about this book, it cost only £0.99p. It is badly constructed and the story does not flow. The author has plenty of ideas but lacks skill in the writing. Read more
