What is the plot of Fool Me Once?
Fool Me Once follows ex-Army captain Maya Stern (Keegan) whose husband Joe has been murdered. The case is being looking into by Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce, who has his own issues.
Meanwhile Maya's niece and nephew are also seeking the truth about their mum, who was also killed months earlier.
Things take a weird turn when Maya checks her nanny cam and sees her husband, apparently alive, in the house.
According to the promo material, the plot follows these characters on a "thrilling hunt for the truth that will reveal shocking secrets and change their lives forever".

Is the show different to the book?
The TV adaptation Fool Me Once is set in the UK, unlike the book, which is set in the US.

"A shocking story of how secrets and deceit have the power to bring people together while simultaneously tearing them apart," he said.
"I can’t wait to see how this dream cast brings these characters to life.”
