Books, life, inspiration…. and my PMDD

My BooksOnTour Review on Bookouture’s BlogTour for The Wife in the Photo by Emily Shiner

My Review: Emily tells this story from differing perspectives, including diary entries. It’s set in Virginia and is a real page turner. You really want to find out whats in the next twist and turn. 3 weeks after the death of his wife Lola, Evan hires a housekeeper to keep things in ship shape so his daughter, Jessica isn’t too disrupted whilst grieving her mother. Ariel isn’t just interested in being the housekeeper though, and Evan has a level of guilt on his shoulders. Nothings as it seems. To find out more, you’ll have to buy the book x

Book Description:

I pick up the photograph from their mantlepiece and carefully wipe away the dust. The beautiful wife. Supposedly happily married and enjoying a family vacation. I know her husband killed her. And I’m going to make him pay…

This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesn’t need to know that. It’s the first of many lies I’ll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I can’t let Evan get away with her murder.

In their impressive home, I busy myself preparing meals and peeking at carelessly discarded mail, looking for proof of his crimes. Evan hovers and I’m sure he is watching me… even as I bond with Jessica. But whenever he catches us alone together, his face darkens. I realize I have to get her out of this house before it’s too late for her, too.

Then I find Lola’s diary, tucked away in a closet out of sight. Her words, hastily scrawled on these pages, change everything I thought I knew about this family. As I hear footsteps on the stairs, I know I’m trapped. And I’m in more danger now than ever before…

The Wife in the Photo is a totally twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night. Fans of Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Couple Next Door will find it impossible to put down.
