Twenty years ago, Dennis Danson was arrested and imprisoned for the brutal murder of a young girl in Florida's Red River County. Now he's the subject of a true-crime documentary that's whipping up a frenzy online to uncover the truth and free a man who has been wrongly convicted.A thousand miles away in England, Samantha is obsessed with Dennis's case. She exchanges letters with him, and is quickly won over by his apparent charm and kindness to her. Soon she has left her old life behind to marry him and campaign for his release.
But when the campaign is successful and Dennis is freed, Sam begins to discover new details that suggest he may not be quite so innocent after all ...
Thoughts
I requested this as I thought the premise of the story sounded quite intriguing, especially for a thriller, so I was expecting some good things.I wouldn't say I was disappointed as there were some parts of this story that were good, and some that I just couldn't deal with (the consummation of their marriage, the garage scene etc).
I wasn't that big a fan of the characters, Dennis came off as a bit of a sociopath, and a bit of a douche to be honest. Sam was just so clingy, and jealous, and just reeked of desperation.
The only redeeming character out of the lot was Carrie, who I just thought was fantastic, and just so bubbly, as well as friendly.
I hear you cry why I gave 2 stars, the story was OK, and even though there were some parts I wasn't a fan of I did seem to breeze through this quite quickly
