My Review: I enjoyed this book, it’s told from two perspectives, husband and wife Hayden and Natalie. It’s an easy to follow read, light, dark, full of suspense and OMG moments. Everytime I thought I had worked it out, another twist came. Having won the lottery their lives change, the cars, clothes, the big house complete with pool. Finally. Natalie gets her dream Cafe. However, the sudden wealth comes with a lot of suspision, envy and secrets uncovered. It reminded me a little of Joy Fielding’s writing, and she’s my favourite author. A recommended read.
Book Description:
I have the life I’ve always dreamed of… but how long will it be until the past catches up with me?
I can’t believe how far my husband, Hayden, and I have come. I never expected that one day I’d be sipping a steaming coffee over our marble countertop or finishing off a humid summer day with a dip in our sparkling pool. But even though we’re living in paradise, I’ve never felt so distant from my husband. I’m certain he’s hiding something from me. Before, I would have confided in my friends and family but in this new life of ours, I’m terrified to trust anyone…
Now, with Hayden out again, my evening is quiet. From our floor-to-ceiling windows, I watch the pool water ripple under the raindrops. But I swear I see movement beyond the garden hedges. I try to shake my fears away, I must be imagining things. That’s what Hayden would say.
But then I find the hand-delivered note and my heart pounds in my chest as I scan the neat words.
You don’t deserve this life.
My blood runs cold. I thought I’d kept all my secrets well hidden, but now as I look out to the still night, I realise it’s only a matter of time until my past catches up with me – a past my husband still has no idea about. I know what I have to do to protect my perfect new life, but those around me have no idea how far I’m willing to go to keep it…
Utterly gripping and full of jaw-dropping twists, fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and Daniel Hurst will be completely hooked by The Wife’s Mistake!
