This one started out as your normal domestic suspense. It really lulled me into the characters and the mystery before taking me on the wild roller coaster ride at the end. A slow start and build to a fast frenzied ending. It reminded me a little of a Freida McFadden popcorn thriller where I was thinking did I figure it out? it couldn’t possibly be that easy. And it wasn’t.
It’s a very twisty and unpredictable solution to a crazy complex plot. Told through multiple narrators and nonlinear over the course of 11 years, the author does a great job of creating a ton of layers and not leaving any strings dangling from all the complexity.
It is a great escapist read. While not the most plausible plot, but gripping and entertaining. I’d go into this one cold and make sure and clear your schedule because once the mystery starts to unravel, you won’t want to put this one down.
Everyone thinks my husband is dead. Just like we planned…
Eleven years ago, my husband disappeared. Eleven long hard years I waited, my heart breaking for our son, who didn’t know his father was coming back.
Today, my hands shake as I try to understand what I’ve just learned: my husband has a new wife. This wasn’t part of our plan.
Eleven years ago, my husband made a terrible mistake. I sacrificed everything to help him fix it. But now he’s put our son and me in danger again.
We had a plan. He broke the rules. But who will pay the price?
A completely gripping and addictive thriller from the number 1 ebook bestselling author K.L. Slater, The Married Man will have you glued to the pages until the very last twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden.
