Description
The latest from sensational writing duo Linda Keir, I Did Not Kill My Husband is a riveting thriller perfect for fans of None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell and Lucky by Marissa Stapely.
LA lifestyle influencer Cara Campbell is living the rags-to-riches dream with her plastic surgeon husband, Karl, and posting all about it on social media. But her happily ever after evaporates when she’s given a life sentence for murdering Karl during a romantic getaway. All evidence points to her, and her platform—as an unabashed gold digger—makes her look guilty as hell. Karl’s struggling business and million-dollar life insurance policy add plenty of motive. But the one thing Cara knows for sure is she didn’t do it.
En route to the maximum-security prison where she’ll begin serving her sentence, the armored transport vehicle is torn apart in a horrific collision that sparks a wildfire at the scene. Desperately seizing this unexpected chance at freedom, Cara flees into the Sierra Nevada mountain range armed only with a cracked phone she found on the highway.
Local sheriff Jordan Burke is first to respond and follows in hot pursuit. His desire to apprehend Cara is personal: He’s vulnerable in the next election, and a quick capture will help his chances. But as the sensational case explodes in the headlines, he finds himself second-guessed at every turn by a noisy chorus of murderinos, internet sleuths, and podcasters—as well as his blowhard political opponent, who trumpets every mistake.
In the woods, Cara’s flight for survival becomes a journey of discovery. Who killed Karl, and why? Was her marriage built on lies? And who is she, really, without her millions of followers?
As Jordan draws relentlessly closer, he, too, begins to question the truth. But to find the answers, he has to catch a fugitive …
Advance Praise
"Influencer-turned-convict Cara Campbell was on her way to prison for murder until a highway crash gave her the chance to run. Completely out of her element in the thick California woods, she's dodging wildfires, protesting her innocence, and barely staying one step ahead of sheriff Jordan Burke, whose career rides on bringing her in. Sharp, funny, and full of surprising heart, I Did Not Kill My Husband is a high-stakes chase where fame is a weapon, the truth is negotiable, and going viral might just get you killed." —Jess Lourey, author of The Laughing Dead
"A pampered trophy wife loses everything and discovers that she's tougher and craftier than the world gave her credit for. Super pacey and oh-so-fun! I blew through it in a day." —Lori Brand, author of Bodies to Die For
