What's Done In the Dark
ByPublisher Description
#1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley gets to the heart of loss, love, and betrayal in her latest novel that is sure to delight her legions of fans.
Felise is not the kind of woman to cheat on her husband—especially with her best friend’s man. But after one perfect storm of a night, it happened…and she can hardly believe it herself. To top it off, when she woke up in the morning, she found that the man to whom she guiltily made passionate love died of a heart attack overnight. Felise, who is a nurse and a good citizen at that, leaves the hotel room without reporting his death.
When her best friend, Paula, finds out about her husband’s sudden death a day later, Felise is overcome with guilt and grief. She must be there for her friend and her family, but when her husband repeatedly tries to apologize for his absentminded behavior and Paula starts investigating who Stephen was with the night he died, Felise finds it hard to hold herself together. Should she come clean and tell everyone what she did? Or should she just let it go and move past the mistake on her own?

“This story is filled with messy, complex characters. It follows Felise, whose seemingly perfect life unravels as hidden truths come to light. Felise's journey through the fallout of her past and her quest for forgiveness is particularly compelling. The supporting characters add depth and richness to the narrative.
However, there are some issues with the plot developments. Steven and his heart condition weren't properly fleshed out, leaving readers wanting more detail. Additionally, the blackmail subplot feels unresolved—what happened to the blackmailer? And why does Felise's goddaughter call her Nona? It caused some confusion, as I kept thinking she was referring to her grandmother.
Despite these flaws, this book definitely has the shock factor. If you enjoy drama and complicated characters, add this book to your summer reading list.”
