The first book in the "Adulteries & tragedies" collection showcases a work from Rafael Menton on the dangers running hand-in-hand with the excitement of an illicit affair.
Loss of respect and even loss of life just two of those dangers even if the wives basking in their affairs don't realise it!
In the revised and extended 4th edition of "Why", a wife deeply in love with her husband and devoted to both him and their daughters, begins an affair with a Latino fitness instructor in which neither the emotional connection nor the sex approaches anywhere close to what she shares with the man she loves.
Hence Mr Menton's title and the questions the cheating wife asks herself as she goes about betraying a man she swears she could not live without.
Questions that come thick and fast when her husband discovers her affair and brings her world crashing about her head.
With the worst still to come as the devastated wife seeks an answer to the question that's killing her
