I had a good inkling of what was coming, both from the way subtle clues were dropped in the story, and from the book’s blurb, but this in no way spoiled my enjoyment because the real intrigue came not in what happened, but in the aftermath, and this was hard to predict. It’s a story that has been told before to some extent, but this felt like a new, fresh version with a different perspective, and that’s what kept me reading.
This is about a third longer than most of the books of the same genre I’ve read this year, and yet it was one of the quickest to read because the story was full of so much momentum. I enjoyed it to the last page, and closed the book satisfied both with the ending and the choices made by the characters to get them to this point.
All in all, an easy, entertaining and thoughtful read that I must recommend. My thanks go to the publishers for supplying this book.
It's not just youngish wives who have secrets, as [[The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty]] and [[The Mill River Recluse by Darcie Chan]] shows us, both well worth a read. You might also enjoy [[Fractured by Dani Atkins]].
