Thanks to Bookouture Books for inviting me along to the book tour and gifting me the ebook to write my honest review.
She’s perfect. Too perfect…
Wife: For twenty-five years, my husband and I have been the ideal couple. I’m shy, but he’s always been the life and soul of the party, a charmer, so I didn’t worry the first time I caught him a little too close to my best friend, Wendy.
Mother: Then our darling son says he’s taking Wendy’s daughter to prom, the girl I never trusted because she’s too much like her mother. As I snap photos of them, I have a smile plastered on my face, but inside my head I’m screaming at him to stay away from her.
Liar: As flashing lights slice the darkness around our home, my worst nightmare comes true with the shocking news that one of our children is dead. And I can tell my husband, my best friend are both lying about where they were. But none of their secrets compares to mine.
And nobody knows just how far I’d go to protect my family…
I chose to read this psychological thriller without reading the blurb because Sue Watson has always ticked all the boxes for a brilliant read.
Wife, Mother, Liar is an expertly written gripping read. Told by two women, Jill and Wendy, each in alternating chapters. Neighbours who become friends along with their husbands. Over the years, they become closer than maybe they would prefer, when their children start a romantic relationship. That is until the bond is broken without warning.
This story is so full of tension that ramps up by the page. I couldn’t stop attempting to guess. I never got anywhere, though, as the twists and turns never stopped. Each moment I thought something, a different bit of information popped up. Sue Watson is certainly an author to keep an eye on!
The characters are well created. I can’t say I took to them all, but I also think they aren’t meant to be truly likeable. They are more real, with the flaws that people have. It made for another quality book from Sue Watson. I really do recommend Wife, Mother, Liar for anyone who likes a great psychological thriller.
