Every Last Lie

I enjoyed Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica most of the time.  The story is told from the perspective of each of the two main characters, in two time periods.  Nick tells the story from before the time when he is killed in a car accident.  His wife, Clara, tells the story in the "present" after Nick has died.  Clara is convinced that Nick was murdered, that it wasn't an accident.  In the lead-up to the crash Nick tells how he is having problems with his work and his money.  Clara has a new-born baby and a four-year-old daughter.  I found Nick and Clara very irritating, especially Clara's stubborn refusal to believe it was an accident.  By the disappointing end I didn't care. 31/2/5
