Thanks to Bookouture Books for my gifted ebook to take part in the book tour with my honest review.
She’s here to help my daughter. She wants to steal my life.
I have a gorgeous husband, Scott, two lovely children, a successful career and a stylish townhouse. Anyone would think my life is perfect. But it’s all a lie.
My twelve-year-old Katie has been in trouble at school and won’t talk to me. Desperate, we hire young, willowy brunette Deanna – an expert tutor – to help my daughter. I’ve been so worried and my husband blames me. Have I failed as a mother?
Deanna is our last hope, the only person who seems able to help my precious child. But I’m starting to wonder about her intentions…
She’s in my kitchen, touching Scott’s arm. She and Katie seem to be keeping secrets, laughing as they glance at me. And I see her in my bedroom, watching from the window as I leave for work.
Then I find Deanna in Scott’s study, examining an old, framed photograph. And she begins to ask questions about Scott’s beautiful ex-wife.
I know her game; she’s looking for something that will destroy my life. The life she wants for herself.
But Deanna has underestimated me. I won’t give up my perfect family without a fight, and she has no idea how far I’ll go to stop her…
A totally addictive and pulse-pounding psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. Prepare to be gripped until the final, jaw-dropping revelation! Perfect for anyone who loves The Housemaid, The Woman in the Window, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.
Psychological thrillers are a genre I can’t get enough of. Homewrecker is my first one from this author. I had no expectations when I started reading, but boy, I shall when I read the next book by this author.
Sophie and Scott have everything, amazing careers, a home to die for, and two children, who are the apple of their parents’ eyes. Then Katie, their twelve year old making trouble of all kinds at school. She is sent home and has to stay there until school decides her future.
A home tutor is employed and paid for by Scott. Deanna is perfect. She gets on well with Katie, so what else do they need? Nothing, until Sophie begins to notice Deanna seems to be a tad too comfy in their home and everyone, but Sophie is smitten with her. Is Sophie imagining things? or does she need to put Deanna in her place and her family back in line?
This is the first psychological thriller by JM Dalgliesh, and it certainly won’t be the last one I read by him! As long as he writes more, that is. It’s a slow burn start, but boy, it certainly ramps up the tension.
Every character is so unique, and they are so well written. Strong and believable, so believable that you don’t know who is gaslighting who, or even IF anyone is gaslighting! My head was so wrapped up in this tale. It’s a thriller that brings clever twists that have the power to make your jaw drop.
There is nothing better than being convinced of one thing, then the bombshell drops, and you realise you were wrong anyway! Homewrecker is one of those books! Twisty, gripping, immersive, and an addictive read. I am looking forward to this author’s next psychological thriller.
