Book Synopsis:
The Sunday Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ugly is back with a psychological masterpiece that will leave you questioning everything you know about love, identity and revenge.
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into – Spyglass, an enchanting old house in the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls – nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that this stranger is his wife.
One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.
Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner named Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person’s date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel and, as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
My Husband’s Wife weaves a tangled web of deception, obsession and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.
My Review:
The Queen of Twists does it again with another fabulously twisty, gripping read that I thoroughly enjoyed !
I was drawn into the story immediately with the intriguing opening and quickly found myself absorbed into the story as I tried to figure out what on earth was going on. Told from the point of view of several characters it soon becomes clear that everyone has secrets and is trying to hide something. Most of the characters are really unlikeable which makes it easy to stay neutral and just enjoy watching the story unfold.
I always love books where I can’t guess what’s happening and this book definitely kept me on my toes with multiple twists at the end that kept sending the story in a completely different direction than I anticipated. The ending was very clever and I loved seeing how everything ended up for all the characters.
If you’re a thriller lover you need to read this book as it’s utterly brilliant!
Huge thanks to Panmac Pinboard and Pan Macmillan for sending this to me it’s really appreciated.
