Another Boldwood book tour on behalf of Rachel’s Random Resources. The Good Wife.by Gemma Rogers is on the blog, late but here! Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
Appearances can be deceiving…
After a whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, I’d tried to be a good wife.
My husband Tom is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten mouthfuls.
I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim. My identity along with my life is long gone. I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive.
But a chance encounter with Savanah changes everything. Tom just couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. I hoped she might be my saviour. What if I asked for her help?
Paid her to steal my husband away?
Could my husband’s desire for another woman be the answer to my prayers, to my freedom?
Bestseller Gemma Rogers is back with another gripping, page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
Gemma Rogers has written numerous psychological thrillers, and I have thoroughly enjoyed everyone. The Good Wife exceeded every expectation I have for a book by this author. Yes, it was that good.
Told from multiple points of view, Chloe, Tom, her husband, and Savannah. Chloe is totally and utterly controlled by Tom. Gemma Rogers writes this so well that I felt like my heart could break for Chloe as I read. In the past, I have worked with domestic violence victims, and this book took me right back to that time so easily.
After meeting Chloe, Savannah decides to attempt to help her escape. As a character, Savannah is the unknown quantity, and that added an extra edge to the story. I wasn’t overly sure of her, although I quite liked her.
The characters absolutely made this story. All well fleshed out and, whether good or bad,.they all had me curious how this would work out. I have to say I couldn’t stop reading until I closed the book. The amount of guesses I made and got wrong along the way created a perfect storm for me. The fact that this author can still leave me guessing so wildly with the unpredictability of the story tells me enough.
I almost inhaled this book. I read it so fast. The pages sped by, and before I knew it, I was finished. Memorable characters with a tight plot and enough tension to keep me on my feet. Gemma Rogers has knocked it out of the park with The Good Wife. I am truly looking forward to her next release!
