There are two sides to every story, but when one side changes the telling of the story every time you hear it, it's difficult to know what the truth is and what is fiction. In Trust Me by Hank Phillipi Ryan, Mercer Hennessey has been wordlessly ticking off the days in the steam of her shower since her husband and daughter were killed in a car accident.

She has pretty much blocked out life for the last 18 months and is surprised to hear about the "Trial of the Century" being held in Boston. When her friend and former editor convinces her to  write the inside true story of the gruesome crime - the murder of Baby Boston, Mercer is not convinced. She knows she needs to get back to work, but sometimes the struggle is too difficult.

When Katherine explains Mercer can watch the courtroom testimony through the same feed the TV stations are using, Mercer realizes she doesn't even need to leave her house to watch. The video equipment is brought to her the next day.

Of course with all the pretrial publicity, everyone is convinced the mother, Ashlyn Bryant, is guilty and will be convicted.

Day after day Mercer watches the video feed and diligently writes what she thinks happened in the case. Her book is almost complete, call she needs is the guilty verdict. After the verdict is announced, Mercer's entire life is turned upside. She begins to doubt everything she believed in and before long isn't sure who she can trust, including her editor.

An diabolical tale of duplicity and lies and much more. Trust Me, you need to read this book.
