The Infidelity Chain Paperback – Jan. 4 2008

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 136 ratings

From the author of The Adultery Club, The Infidelity Chain combines the beating heart of Jojo Moyes with the sparkling wit of Jane Fallon.
Six lovers. Two affairs. One betrayal. Who's the weak link?

Ella Stuart has worked hard to achieve the perfect work-life balance: a high-flying career as a paediatric doctor, a charming husband, charity fundraiser Jackson Garrett – and in urbane PR consultant William Ashfield, a passionate, worldly lover.

William is equally devoted to Ella, his mistress of eight years, and to his faded, troubled wife, Beth. He knows he could never choose between them; and is eternally grateful he's never been asked.

When tragedy strikes out of the blue, Ella's carefully ordered life is abruptly derailed. Struggling to cope as the chaos spirals out of her control, unable to play the accommodating mistress any longer, Ella examines her long relationship with William, and finds it wanting.

But her personal nightmare has repercussions for everyone linked to her. For William, who has to face his own demons and make the toughest decision of his life. For Beth, who is just beginning to emerge from the depression that has stolen the most precious years of motherhood.

And above all for Cate, William and Beth's seventeen-year-old daughter, whose transition from girlhood to womanhood is suddenly set to be a baptism of fire.

' [a] superior tale of immorality and lust...Stimson's skill ensures we are gripped to the finish. Warmly recommended.' Daily Mail

As I read the details of the synopsis of the book I realised that I had read it under a different name it has also been released as One Good Affair in the US. Having said that the book is good, very good. I churned through the pages enjoying the pace and entertainment value. The author is also a very good one and I have to say that after reading this book I am looking forward to her next one. Do yourself a favour and give this a chance you will not regret it.

The Infidelity Chain,is a well written believable account of a love triangle. The book accounts for the other lifes which may be effected and deals with this sympathetically and with feeling.
