When you own a pottery café, you’d best be prepared for some breakages!
A twisty debut which kept me guessing! I loved the fact that a pottery café features, and enjoyed the sections of the novel set there, as I love going to my local pottery café. But even more enjoyable was the experience of delving into Beth and Tom as characters - they’re portrayed realistically (as is small-town life), and that alone makes Alice Hunter one to watch for me.
A terrifically twisty tale! So utterly moreish!
So utterly moreish! This book kept me guessing all the way through, and little twists kept surprising me!
Beth's husband Tom is arrested in connection with the disappearance of an ex girlfriend. Beth knows he can't be involved, but as time goes on she discovers new things about Tom and she wonders whether she ever really knew him, and whether he knew her.
This was one of those books where you have to keep reading late into the night, wondering what will happen next, who to believe, how that happened. Great twists and turns all the way through. Absolutely fantastic!
The Serial Killer's Wife grabs you by the scruff of the neck from the very beginning and drops you in an exhausted heap at the end. This is one cracking read!
Tom and Beth have a perfect marriage, a gorgeous three-year-old daughter and an idyllic family life nestled in the village of Lower Tew, or so it seems. But when Tom is unexpectedly linked to the disappearance of a former girlfriend everything unravels. As the lies start to surface and the cracks begin to appear we find ourselves questioning how well we really know the ones we love and just how far we would go to protect them. After all everyone has secrets, don't they? It just depends how good you are at keeping them.
Seriously fast paced and yet in no way superficial, the short, punchy chapters of The Serial Killer’s Wife hurtle through the story at breakneck speed. There is no time to be bored or lose interest, this book grabs you by the scruff of the neck from the very beginning and drops you in an exhausted heap at the end. You’ll want to read it in a single sitting if you can and if you can’t you’ll find yourself desperately wanting to get back to it as soon as possible. The tension builds inexorably, the story unfolds piece by tiny piece, just enough to allow you to start questioning the characters motives and attempting to see beyond the lies but not enough for you to predict the outcome. I literally found myself exclaiming out loud on multiple occasions in the final few chapters which, to me, is a good indication of a completely engrossing and expertly crafted thriller. This is one cracking read!
