HE SAID HE WOULD BE LATE

For readers of The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, it's a fun, fast-paced read and Justine's writing has high commercial appeal.

HE SAID HE WOULD BE LATE is a twisty psychological debut about marriage, motherhood, and the search for truth at all costs.

Liz Bennet is fortunate with love and she knows it. She's married to a wealthy, handsome, bright, all-around charming man. Arno, a wonderful husband and adoring father to their daughter Emma, is the outward picture of perfection. But, when Liz sees a text on Arno's phone with a couple of kissy-faces attached, she starts to worry. And worry. And worry.

As any respectable wife would, Liz must find out exactly what's going on. And so, she takes a deep dive down the rabbit hole. Peeling back layers of deceit, following every lead on what she increasingly believes is an extramarital affair. Could her husband really be cheating on her? Or is he just as perfect as he looks?

Liz wants the truth, at all costs, but, as life teaches us, not everything is as it seems.

Justine Sullivan is a staff writer and editor living in Boston with her husband and two dogs. She earned her master's in journalism from Boston University, which she puts to good use while she writes fiction. He Said He Would Be Late is her debut novel.
