Book Synopsis:
Charley Willis was thirteen years old when her parents were killed in their family home and she was found hiding in a cupboard upstairs.
Fifteen years later, Charley is marrying Seth Chambers. It should be the happiest day of their lives, a chance for Charley to put her past behind her, but just hours after the ceremony, she is missing.
No one saw her leave. No one knows where she is.
One thing is for certain…Seth is about to discover he doesn’t really know the woman he just married. And his nightmare is only just beginning.
A totally gripping psychological thriller that will keep you reading until the very last jaw-dropping twist.
The Wife’s Secret is available in ebook and paperback now. The ebook is currently only £1.99. You can purchase your copy of both here.
My Review:
The Wife’s Secret is a very intriguing thriller which I really enjoyed reading. The theme of a person having a secret past and going missing on their weddings day isn’t a new one but Kerry manages to breathe new life into it.
The story is told from two points of view. One follows Seth as the new husband of the missing Charley as he tries to get to the bottom of her sudden disappearance. The other flashes back to the past slowly revealing bits of Charley’s mysterious past. Through a series of flashbacks we follow the murder investigation and lives of Charley’s and her sister from the view point of the people involved.
The characters in this book are just fantastic! They are really well developed with a great back story and personality that is described so well that you feel like you know them personally. My favourite character was Martha as I really admired her strength and her willingness to stand up for her sister when necessary.
I did guess the big twist quite early on and who had murdered Charley’s parents but that didn’t stop me enjoying this book. It was a really well told story that had lots of twists and turns which did make me doubt myself at times. Ultimately even though I was right I did enjoy the journey the author weaves and it kept my attention until the end.
I’m a big fan of this author and have read most of his books . I look forward to reading more from him in the future.
Huge thanks to Noelle from Bookouture for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. If you like twisty, intriguing thrillers that makes you think you’ll enjoy this book.
