But who will be the lucky man?
When her eye catches a glimpse of an old flame in a photograph, she’s sure it’s a sign. Mark Shepherd has always been in her thoughts – they’d been happy once, he’d adored her, but she’d made a mistake and let him get away. She won’t make the same mistake again….

So what if Mark is happily married with a family of his own?
All good things must come to an end…

My Opinion
The Mistress by Valerie Keogh is yet another thriller crime fiction with an exciting plot. The story is about infidelity, ego, and relationships. Although this book is not one of the best works of the author. There is no actual mystery in the plot. The story seemed to be finished in haste. The story has much more potential, and I was a little bit amazed with the abrupt ending. Hannah's and Susan's characters were great. Susan portrays a sad wife, and in the end, she takes control in her hands. But Hannah's character needed more color. The author missed the recipe for a wonderful crime thriller. The book deserves 3 stars.
