Act of Passion

the long version

Ann Cohen knew her marriage to Marty was never a fairytale romance. After all, a mistress is a character unfamiliar to Cinderella stories. Yet even after the infidelity and wrath that plagued Ann and Marty’s relationship, Ann could never have brought herself to commit the lurid murder of her husband. But while Ann is consumed by the fear of losing her freedom, day after day in the courtroom, someone who framed Ann for this hideous crime is laughing at the irony of it all. Her confidant and attorney Bill Connally promises a triumph in the courtroom, but the more it seems someone is trying to destroy her life, the less a victory seems possible.
