Alafair Burke is a must read author for me each year and I’m rarely disappointed, The Wife was no exception. The mark of a great story in my mind is one where I don’t see the ending coming but does not seem so out of nowhere that it doesn’t track with the character’s personality, prior actions and the rest of the story and I found that to definitely be the case here.
Look for The Wife in just a few weeks!

I really love this author, I've read quite a lot of her books and this has to be one of my favourites. I did figure out a few of the twists and had a major spoiler going in to it that probably brought down my rating of the book but it's definitely one people should pick up! A great domestic thriller.
