When a hit British crime series about a cosmetic surgeon–turned–serial killer ends in murder, one woman wonders if her husband can play a killer on screen without becoming one in real life.

When the Role Won’t Let Go

I married a man the world adores. I just don’t know who he is anymore.

My husband plays a killer on television. Millions watch him every week. But when his assistant’s body washes up on the beach, the line between performance and reality begins to blur.

He says he’s innocent. I want to believe him. I need to believe him.

But the lies keep piling up. The marriage I thought I had is slipping through my fingers. And the closer I get to the truth, the more I realise how much I stand to lose if the cameras ever stop rolling.

If I’m wrong, I could destroy everything.
If I’m right, I might already be married to a monster.
