Book Synopsis:
When Sadie moves with her husband Will and their two children to a tiny coastal town, it’s a fresh start. Will swears the affair he was having back in the city is over and Sadie believes him. But their new beginning is tainted when a local woman is murdered, leaving Sadie convinced there’s a killer in their midst.
Hot-headed, beautiful Camille is obsessively in love with Will. She’s even prepared to follow him thousands of miles to stake out his new home in secret – and in doing so, becomes the only witness to a brutal crime.

My Review:
The Other Mrs is a dark, atmospheric read which was very enjoyable!
Firstly I just loved how the Island itself helped contribute to the tension and atmosphere in the book. It helps to bring a level of claustrophobia to the story too as you realise how isolated the island is and how easily it’s cut off from anything by bad weather. The islanders help contribute to the feeling that no one cares about the family as they like to keep to themselves and are very cautious of all strangers.
I thought the story developed well, with the slow release of information and reveals about the family keeping me very intrigued. As you might expect things aren’t as straight forward as they first appear and I especially liked finding out more about the character’s history. There are some very interesting, complex characters in this book though not many are likeable I still enjoyed learning more about them. My favourite was definitely Mouse though as she was a very relatable character and I enjoyed following her take on things.
The pace of this book gradually increases as the story develops and I found some of the scenes very nail biting to read. I did figure out part of the story early on but this didn’t stop me enjoying the book as I wanted to keep reading to figure out the other part of the story and see if I was right.
Huge thanks to HQ Stories for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
