Review Quote: ‘I really enjoyed this book. It had plenty of suspense and twists to keep you wanting to read on.’ Anita W.
My Opinion:
'My Friend's Husband' is a dual timeline domestic thriller and the first book I have read by this author.
A young woman Roshni has been kidnapped and the story centres around the to main suspects, Clara, her friend and Roshni's husband Steve. The question is will Roshni be found alive or not?
A dark and intense story with plenty of betrayals and secrets that will appeal to fans of the genre.
Thanks to NetGalley, Joffe books and Rupa Mahadevan for the opportunity to read and review.
Précis Courtesy of Goodreads:
My best friend is missing. And the police think I did it. But her perfect husband is lying.
I’ve spent most of my life getting things wrong. Bad choices. Bad luck. Bad timing.
Roshni was my fresh start. She gave me a job. A room. A second chance.
Now she’s gone.
The day she vanished, she managed one desperate 999 call.
“Someone’s taken me. I’m in the boot of a car. Please—”
Then the line went dead.
I was the last person to see her alive. Now the police are closing in.
But they’re looking at the wrong suspect.
Because Steve — the devoted, devastated husband — isn’t who he claims to be.
A brilliantly twisty page-turner packed with nail-biting tension.
