For Better and Worse

When Natalie and Will met in college, they wondered if they were smart enough to commit the perfect murder. In For Better and Worse by Margot Hunt, Natalie and Will may have a chance to see if they are smart enough.

Fast forward 20 years, their marriage is stagnating. Natalie is sure Will is cheating on her because of his secretive behavior with his phone, but she almost doesn't care. What she does care about is their pre-teen son Charlie.

When a student at his school accuses the principal of molesting him, Natalie is freaked. She hasn't noticed any signs of withdrawal in her son so she wants to believe he was not a victim and does not question him right away.

As a criminal attorney she has seen the destruction a case of child molestation leaves on everyone - especially the child. Defense attorneys don't handle the case with kid gloves and more times than not the child is not believed or blamed. 

Natalie doesn't want to see her son victimized by the courts. Tormented by not knowing, Natalie asks Charlie if he has ever been alone with the principal. He tells her about a time during a weekend camping trip and confesses that the principal touched him inappropriately and said not to say anything to anyone.

Natalie is enraged but has no patience for the wheels of justice to turn. She plans her own solution and sets out to settle the score. Things don't go as planned and both Natalie and Will recognize the trouble they are in.

Who will crack first - Natalie, Will or the truth? An interesting dilemma and a frightening solution.
