The Wife:
My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can…
The Husband:
I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper. That I’ve not always been faithful. Will they think I killed her?
Two people fighting for their lives. Two people with secrets to hide. Who will you believe?
A completely compelling and twisty page-turner from number 1 bestselling author K.L. Slater. Fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden will be hooked by Husband and Wife.
My Review
This was not what I was expecting. There is a he said she said, but the he is in the hospital on life support. Thats a new one for me and domestic suspense at its best. And both the he and she have some secrets. Everyone is speaking for him. His mother is protecting him even though she rarely spends any time with him anymore. And his wife and her family are pointing fingers at him. A lady was murdered that seemed to have some secrets of their own and potentially a connection to the he and she.
I had no idea where this one was headed. I was just along for the ride. No idea who was believable and when any were lying to save face. I’m not sure I liked any of the characters, but I tried to like Nicola, the he’s mother, but I was really starting to question some of her choices.
I love the author’s writing style. It is easy to read. I flew through this one wondering who was the murderer and why. I flipped back and forth on this over and over and wasn’t right.
If you are a fan of a twisty domestic suspense novel, then you need to pick this one up.
