Read the full Review @[...]I was not prepared to like this short novel of hundred and one pages. How can a short story do full justice to a subject such as adultery was beyond my sensibility. In fact, when I got this book for review, I was a bit skeptical. The title of the story, ‘Indiscretion’ caused my over active imagingation to imagine lucid love making scenes and with great apprehension, I clicked on my Kindle.And I am glad I did!The story is about adultry no doubt, but the treatment given to this story is wonderful.Elisa 'slips' one night and that too with her husband's friend - Carson. Rather than continue having an affair, she puts an end to it. However, the night leaves its own consequences. A child growing in her womb!Both Carson and Elisa are in a situation where such a leak would ruin not only their respective career but also their marital life. Even if Carson is ready for this but Elisa is not. She did not want to play a second fiddle in Carson's life. They both decide that it would be make Elisa's husband believe that the child is his. But there was only one obstacle to this problem. Elisa had no relationship with her husband for the past few months!So, now would this problem be solved? There is so much I could add here. However, I am sure Dahlia will not appreciate a spoiler, even if my fingers are itching to type the consequences. Well thought of Dahlia!So to find out how it is solved read this book of course. Hint? Ok a teeny weeny one..... psst... there is a murder involved. [Fingers goes to chopping board.... naughty fingers!]
