From Sandie Jones, the author of The Other Woman, comes an addictively readable new domestic suspense about a wife, her husband, and the woman who is supposedly her best friend.
THE WIFE
For Alice, life has never been better. With her second husband, she has a successful business, two children, and a beautiful house.
HER HUSBAND
Alice knows that life could have been different if her first husband had lived, but Nathan’s arrival into her life gave her back the happiness she craved.
HER BEST FRIEND
When Alice met Beth, her best friend, it was the icing on the cake. A friend without judgement, to celebrate with, commiserate with, Beth is the most trustworthy and loyal person that Alice knows. So when Nathan starts disappearing for stretches of time, Alice turns to Beth. But soon, she begins to wonder whether her trust has been misplaced…
Well, wasn’t this a delightful twisty little book!! I had no idea what way this was going to go and I didn’t see the ending coming! Even though I feel I know what happened at the end, I don’t know if I do know what happened at the end if that makes sense. It’s really difficult to try and explain this. There’s an ending, obviously, and there is something that happens, obviously and it could have gone one or two ways. In the epilogue, someone’s talking but I don’t know who was talking. I know that sounds silly, but I don’t know who it was. I found it interesting to see the build-up to the end. I had no idea it was going to go the way I did. I had inklings of what was going to happen. I had an inkling of a story, a storyline to do with Beth when we were listening to it, I got very upset for Alice because of it. But then, at a birthday party, I began to doubt what I actually knew and what I actually thought was real. I thought it was brilliant.
I was thinking about this book when I wasn’t listening to the audiobook, and it was very addictive to read. When I looked at the audiobook, and it said there were two minutes left I really couldn’t figure out how it was going to end and I was panicking in case there was no ending and that I was missing the audiobook. I just wasn’t sure I couldn’t see how this was going to end.
I’m definitely a huge fan now of Sandy Jones and I will be checking out other novels she has written because she has written such a twisted thrilling book that literally did keep me on my toes. It was just great. I can’t tell you too much about this book because you need to go in completely blind, you need to have no idea what’s going on. You have to enjoy this journey. I did find it hard to figure out.
I loved Alice. I felt for Alice and Beth, well until I didn’t, now I don’t know how I feel about her, Beth that is. Nathan, well I really didn’t want anything to be true about Nathan!!
But who knows?
I can’t tell you!!
Definitely want to read it was entertaining. There were so many twists and yeah, I really enjoyed my time in this little world.
Until the next time xxx
