My Husband's Wife: the Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

The novel’s plot is as provocative as its title, and the book nicely fits into the psychological suspense genre that’s riding a slipstream of popularity. Her insights into family life are just so on point that I actually felt as if I was reading about a real family. S. debut have much in the way of nuance; only a general sheen of unpleasantness that settles over every interaction, be it personal or professional . I wanted the BIL to be the new man in her life but when nothing happens till well, almost the last page, I gave up all hope.

The plots within this story are very well executed with many twists and turns, leading the reader on an amazing journey to a climatic ending and a satisfying conclusion, with all loose ends tied up and all questions answered. I'm neither a wife nor a mother so it's testament to the superb writing of the author that I could immerse myself so easily in the story of Rosie and feel her pain and anguish as she asks what is there really left in my life now that everything I have held so dear and nurtured has been taken away from me?Newlywed London lawyer Lily Macdonald’s best intentions land her in some of the worst predicaments in British author Corry’s devilishly devious U. It’s a deeply emotive and pretty dark look at a woman’s descent into despair and eventual breakdown and it’s NOT easy to watch.

The reader can't help but feel pity for Rosie and her 'tsunami of grief' (isn't that just the most brilliant and apt description? I was expecting just that little bit more from this read and felt the ending was slightly rushed considering all the excellent writing, character development and scenes that were there for the vast majority of the book. The plot whizzes by incredible fast, packing so much trauma into the pages, but with the characters being one dimensional, I didn't have empathy for any of them.At first I was quite annoyed with him as it seemed he had denied Rosie the chance to ever get to know her mother, but as the story went on I realised that he had been doing his best given the situation he was faced with. I knew before I opened it that the husband was going to leave his family but it didn't happen until nearly half-way through the story. I felt this added a much-needed depth to Rosie's emotional and psychological position as a mother, and explained her reaction to a lot of the things that happened to her in the story. There are some flaws to this book and some parts that didn’t add much to the story, and I thought the ending felt a bit too rushed but actually, I have to say I did enjoy reading this book. Well…to answer all these questions, you will just have to read My Husband’s Wife and find out yourself.

The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs. The ending had a few too many twists in the reveals, which is an odd critique of a thriller, but there was a point where it felt like the author was a magician unveiling trick after trick from her hat with full-on jazz hands. There are just little phrases and sayings dotted about in there that are brilliantly descriptive in their very normality, like trying to cheer someone up at Christmas by letting them have first pick in the Quality Street tin! That's not exactly what unfolded, more so that manipulation came into play and I did feel for Rosie but wished she put up more of a fight.Alongside the breakdown of her married life, Rosie also receives a years-old letter from her long-lost mother Laurel, who left Rosie and her father when she was only a baby.
