Review (New Release): For Better and Worse by Margot Hunt
About the Book:
On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they’ll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice…you have to get it yourself. Shocked to discover Nat’s taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He’s just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat’s always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret—or their marriage?

My Thoughts:
Interesting idea, but the execution was a little messy. I found the pacing and build up was rather slow, and there wasn't much shock factor or any major plot twists. The overall story was lacking that suspense feel, and the outcome was predictable.
I did personally have a hard time digesting some of the subject matter as well. Please be aware that the story does deal with a child predator. There isn't overly descriptive details, but I struggle with stories involving abuse of children and I often try to avoid them.
So while For Better and Worse was an entertaining enough thriller to hold my attention throughout the entire story, it didn't leave a lasting impression, and I'm not compelled to recommended it. However, I would never discourage someone from reading it, so give it a shot if the synopsis intrigues you.
