My Other Husband: the heart-stopping new novel from the queen of the big reveal

Product Information

Cleo ends her series, her job and tells Wallace that she wants a divorce. Everyone around her are surprised and confused. But Cleo is driven to these drastic actions before something awful will happen. I’d never heard of it, have you? And this (illness, mental state, obsession) played a huge part within this thriller that gripped my full attention. I absolutely love in books when an author takes a fact, such as this and uses it, expands it and builds a very intriguing interesting character such as this.
