A high-profile marriage thrust into the spotlight.

A wife, determined to keep her family safe, must face a prosecutor who believes justice has been a long time coming.

A scandal that will rock Westminster. And the women caught at the heart of it. Anatomy of a Scandal centres on a high-profile marriage that begins to unravel when the husband is accused of a terrible crime.

Sophie is sure her husband, James, is innocent and desperately hopes to protect her precious family from the lies which might ruin them.

Kate is the barrister who will prosecute the case – she is equally certain that James is guilty and determined he will pay for his crimes. `A compelling and cautionary story about how we can never truly know someone else; how even after twelve years of marriage, a wife might not know everything about her husband.

If you liked Apple Tree Yard you'll probably like this too. Very similar. Over- privileged, boorish, selfish, misogynist boys, first at Oxford then in government, barge their way through this novel and succeeded in irritating me no end. I didn't learn anything new and sadly wasn't surprised by any of the described behaviour. I'm also left feeling very frustrated all the characters. So that's why it didn't get 3, 4 or 5 stars. It got 2 because I did want to find out what happened and it kept me reading.
