*UP IN FLAMES* is a gripping suspense romance novel. With her delicate writing style and wonderful plot arrangement, the author, Whendhie, weaves together love, betrayal, murder, and truth, presenting readers with a thrilling reading experience.
The story revolves around the female protagonist, Vanessa Spencer. At the age of 28, Vanessa married Christopher when she was 21. However, just half a year after their marriage, she painfully discovered that her husband was a lying and cheating man. The sweet fantasies of the past shattered in an instant, and she regretted that she had been blinded by love and ignored the voice of reason at that time.
A year ago, Vanessa finally summoned up the courage to leave Christopher resolutely. She moved out and rented an apartment, regained her true self, and resumed her beloved writing career. But the road to divorce was extremely bumpy. She hired a lawyer and submitted the divorce agreement to Christopher, but he kept delaying signing it, as if deliberately making things difficult for her and enjoying the pressure he imposed on her.
One day, Vanessa angrily talked to Christopher on the phone, urging him to sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. But that very night, the wheel of fate suddenly turned. Two police officers knocked on her door, informing her that Christopher had been murdered, and she had become the prime suspect. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making it hard for her to believe, because she had just talked to him on the phone.
Vanessa, who was taken to the police station, was interrogated by Detectives Alaric and Paul. She was at a loss to defend herself. Alaric believed that from the recording of their phone call, her dissatisfaction and threats towards Christopher could be heard, which significantly increased her suspicion. However, Vanessa firmly believed in her innocence. She kept emphasizing that even though she was angry about her husband's delay, she would never commit murder. Eventually, due to insufficient evidence, the police had to release her home.
Misfortunes never come alone. The next day, when Vanessa was arranging Christopher's funeral, she encountered another trouble. She had intended to choose an expensive and decent funeral according to Christopher's preferences. But when she went to pay, she found that the money in her bank account had disappeared. It turned out that Christopher had withdrawn a large amount of cash last Tuesday. Helplessly, she could only pay with her credit card.
At this time, Alaric and Paul came to her door again. This time, they asked about Christopher's hiring of a personal bodyguard a few months ago and the rumors that he might be involved in money - laundering activities of the criminal organization "The Brothers of Sin". Vanessa said that she didn't know the reason for hiring the bodyguard, and because they had been separated for a long time, she knew little about his life. She also revealed that it was after hearing these rumors that she was determined to divorce him, but she just didn't think of mentioning it at the police station.
As the investigation deepens, more and more mysteries surround Vanessa. She not only has to clear her name of the murder suspicion but also figure out the secrets of Christopher's life and who was related to his death. In this battle with fate, can she find the truth and clear her name?
