If We Were Villains by M.L Rio is an excellent book. The book itself is told as a story of the past through the eyes of Oliver Marks. Oliver, who is released from jail after 10 years is enquired by the detective who put him there in the  first place about what actually happened ten years ago, in 1998. The detective - Colborne, knows that Oliver is half-innocent and wants to now the truth, promising Oliver that it would not effect the case is any way.

Overall, the characters were wonderful and very lovable, except for one of them but that's a different scenario.
