IT STARTED WITH A KISS

AND ENDED IN MURDER...

The darkly addictive new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of I Looked Away, Blood Sisters and My Husband's Wife.

In Poppy Page's mind, there are two types of women in this world: those who are faithful to their husbands, and those who are not. Until now, Poppy has never questioned which she was.

But when handsome, charming Matthew Gordon walks back into her life after almost two decades, that changes. Poppy makes a single mistake - and that mistake will be far more dangerous than she could imagine.

Someone is going to pay for it with their life . . .


'Absolutely brilliant...full of twists and turns that left me positively breathless' Angela Marsons

'A python of a book; it draws you in gently at first and then the coils of tension begin to tighten and refuse to let you go...' Jane Shemilt

'Readers you are in for a tremendous treat - a roller-coaster of a ride that will leave you screaming, 'No!' on more than one occasion' Carol Wyer

Critic Reviews

I loved this cleverly written tale of the devastating consequences of a wife's mistake (Emma Curtis)
What an addictive read! Extremely clever storytelling with terrific pace and real emotional depth too. I loved it (Teresa Driscoll)
Fans of Louise Doughty and Clare Mackintosh will love I Made a Mistake. Exhilarating and heartbreaking in equal measure, this story will stay with me for a long time (Nuala Ellwood)
Jane Corry is at the top of her game and her latest novel cements her place as one of the superstars of the genre. Addictive, dark, and all too believable, I Made A Mistake is her best yet (Phoebe Morgan)
I love all Jane Corry's books but this is her best yet. So clever, compulsive and twisty with a reveal I never saw coming. Superb (Claire Douglas)
I Made a Mistake is an absorbing and gripping masterpiece, skilfully plotted with superbly drawn characters who will stay with you long after you've finished reading (Kathryn Croft)
Corry often explores darker themes, and those living on the fringes of society and this book is no exception: gritty, real, interesting and clever. Highly recommended (Gillian McAllister)
Brilliant and chilling. Jane Corry knows exactly how to turn the screws in this compelling and hard-hitting story about the dark underbelly of respectable family life. Another outstanding novel by Jane Corry (Kate Furnivall)
Jane Corry nails it again. This is a page turner with depth, with characters and human conflicts that stay with you long after the novel is finished. Superb (Kate Hamer)
A convincing suburban thriller with a compelling sense of doom (Ross Greenwood)

Nearly sent it back because of the whining women, second guessing themselves constantly. But i stuck it out, & it did get better, somewhat.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very 'easy listen' and easy to follow but still very interested and kept you guessing. One of my favourites from this author

RECOMMENDED!

This was a struggle to get through, good story and likable characters but waaaaaaay too long for what it delivered.

Much longer than it needed to be

Didn’t really enjoy this. Clunky writing, unbelievable storyline & way too long! Would not recommend. (Narrator was ok though.)

Finished it but had to force myself to!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
An ordinary story about an ordinary family until some silly mistakes are made. Quite good but can't help thinking, would most people really get caught up in such a web of lies rather than fessing up but then that wouldn't make a good story

Enjoyable, intriguing but ending drawn out a bit

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't predictable as many tales are. I loved the portrayal of how family secrets can unravel causing destruction to what otherwise seems to be a happy and loving family. At times I got quite frustrated that Poppy would not just come clean already but when you become that invested in a story. You know it's been a good one.

enjoyable

I was a little disappointed in this book after reading Jane's other novels. I was going to shut it down after an hour as it was hard to distinguish between mum and Poppy at the beginning of the story, resulting in the story line being hard to follow .But that finally came into line.
The characters seems a little insipid.
Entertaining. But not Jane's usual quality.

Not up to Jane's standards
