The Wrong Woman

Vince Reid is a private investigator returning to a community he had left under a cloud many years previously. There has been a car accident resulting in the death of the passenger and the hospitalisation of the driver. An insurance company has hired Vince to investigate whether it really was an accident. Eshana Stiles was the driver of the car. She is in a coma when Reid arrives in town.

The story unfolds via alternate stories - Reid telling the story in present time while Eshana's story reveals past events leading to the time of the crash. Both stories are told by the protagonists. The reader gradually learns of the events in the lives of both Reid and Eshana.

 The Wrong Woman is set in Manson, a small country town in the USA. When Reid arrives in Manson he learns that two teenage girls are missing and soon wonders if there are connections between the disappearances and his case. Then a twist in the story leaves Reid questioning why he has really been asked to investigate the car crash.

The Wrong Woman is written by New Zealand born author, J P Pomare who now lives with his family in Australia. He has written a number of novels including The Last Guests.
