Official Summary
07 January 2022
This mind-blowing, edge of your seat thriller had me devouring this book in just a few days. If you have ever needed an incentive to remain faithful, then this is the book for you. Unfaithful will erase any consideration of infidelity you might have had. You can expect a story that will capture you as you open the first page and thrill you from page to page, never leaving you a moment that is not gut-twisting.
J.L. Butler left me hooked with this book. The story is intelligently written, tightly plotted and a twist-a-minute leaving you flipping the pages late into the night. This is a gripping, compulsive story that I could not drag myself away from.
Rachel Reeves finds that her perfect life is enough when her daughter leaves home for college. Suddenly she is facing empty days with nothing to fill her time. When she decides to return to work, she attends a book launch where she runs into Chris, an old flame. Chris’s attention leads to a one-nightstand which Rachel immediately regrets. She does everything she can to remove Chris from her life. But when she receives a text, Rachel discovers that someone knows what she did. Someone who will do everything they can to destroy her life
Unfaithful was one of those books I battles to drag myself away from. It is a clear, twisty tale that kept me intrigued from start to finish. I loved this book and would highly recommend it. You can expect this page-turner to keep you engrossed from start to finish.
The characters in this book are all flawed, making everyone suspicious and you never know who you should trust. A moment’s vulnerability left Rachel making a mistake. A mistake that no matter what she did to rectify it, left her haunted. Her guilt was bad, but when the texts start, you are left feeling sorry for this woman. Even as someone who does not condone infidelity, I found myself sympathising with Rachel. No matter what she did, she did not deserve what was headed her way.
This is a fabulous story that will have you reading late into the night. I highly recommend that thriller fans add this title to their TBR. I have already added “Mine”, also by J.L. Butler to my TBR for 2022.

WHAT IF YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN’T?
WHAT IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP THREATENED TO DESTROY YOUR CAREER?
AND WHAT IF YOU SUSPECTED YOUR LOVER OF MURDER?
Divorce lawyer Francine Day is one big case away from securing her place among London’s legal elite. She has spent years methodically building her career but her work ethic isn’t enough to keep her from falling for her charismatic and suave new client, Martin Joy. She knows it’s wrong, but Francine can’t help herself even if their blistering affair breaks every professional rule.
But something about her new lover doesn’t add up. Martin insists his marriage is over, but when Francine sees Martin and his soon-to-be-ex, Donna, on a romantic night out together, she is devastated.
That evening is the last time that Donna Joy is seen alive. How did Donna vanish, where has she gone and why did Francine wake up in her neighbour’s flat with blood on her clothes?
As media interest in Donna escalates, and Martin becomes the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance, Francine finds herself caught in a dangerous labyrinth of deception, lies, and secrets, in which one false move could lead to her undoing. The further Francine goes to find answers, the tighter the net seems to draw—until her career, her professional reputation and her life are in danger.
