After 2 seasons, you need to understand what you are getting into when you watch "Secrets and Lies". The plot changes dramatically almost every episode. They introduce new twists and turns. Unfortunately, it is always a new character or situation that you learn about in episode 9 (out of 10) who is the true killer. Is a rip off. Sad, because the lead detective is quite good, and the actors are quite good. But look for season 3 to be the same thing: New character in the last chapter who did it.

Has to be someone who knows his every move & has lot of free time , wife seems detached that her husband is murder suspect but not around enough to plant certain evidence, youngest daughter possible more than older daughter, his friend fits , retired neighbor fits , cop could fit.
