It Isn't Cheating if He's Dead by Julie Frayn

Jemima "Jem" Stone has been waiting for four years to find her missing fiancé Gerald. Detective Finn Wight is on the case. He is found dead far from home, and it was declared a homicide. As Finn tries to find out who killed Gerald, Jem tries to get on with her life.

Every morning she feeds the homeless. When a new homeless man appears, something about him grabs her attention. She is compelled to find out more about his man, and why he became homeless. Together Jem & Finn are about to uncover some deep long buried secrets.

A fast paced murder/mystery with a touch of romance. Jem is very likable, her feelings towards Gerald are deep. She struggles to come to terms with his death, and to move on. Finn is there to help in every way she needs. The story is fresh, original and moves along at a good pace.

Jem has a lot of emotional feelings she has to face if she wants to enjoy her life. We watch her struggle with feelings, of love, loss and acceptation. I recommend It Isn't Cheating if He's Dead to those who like an emotional romantic/mystery. ( )

A well written tale of love, hope and life. I enjoyed the story, although I did start skipping through the sex scenes; which were well written,but a bit too numerous for me. Don't get me wrong, this book is not about the sex ( which is why I skipped it) it is about finding out about what motivates people to do what they do. A good read and I recommend it to contemporary romance lovers ( )
