Blurb
You can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors…My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying ‘I do’ to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best.
But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense he’s hiding something. Why won’t he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?
Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Lauren’s bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My son’s beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my son’s name? And could my life be in danger now too?
My Opinion
Fast, Gripping and Mind- Blowing
What a fantastic thriller by Sue Watson. The book, The New Wife got me head over heels and is absolutely a page- turner. The plot hooks you up right from the beginning. Also, the climax is totally unpredictable. And, the most amazing thing about the story is that each and every character is under suspicion. With every turn the plot brings up a new mystery which makes it more interesting.
I would definitely give the book 5 stars. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
Character Portrayal
I have only one term for the characters of The New Wife by Sue Watson and that is Eccentric. You cannot miss any character in the plot. Each one of them has a different story to tell. I could not even guess which one is the positive or negative. And, as you go deeper in the story the characters become more and more secretive.
Narrative Style
I have downloaded the book, The New Wife by Sue Watson as an Audiobook. The narration was crystal clear with a simple and easily understandable tone.
