About this deal

And there’s someone who will do whatever it takes to make sure that this deep secret never comes to the surface. She married with Dan, having wonderful three kids, working at the hospital. Her life seems quiet great, even though she caught her husband’s two times cheating, she is so ready to forgive and patch things up about her relationship with the help of quality family time. She has an amazing mother in law( if you don’t care her bitchy and bossy attitudes) who loves her so much, helps her decide everything about marriage ceremony and convinces her to forgive her son’s misdemeanors (come on, only two times infidelity doesn’t count! Third time is a charm!),and she also loves brother in law, her husband Dan’s charming and younger brother Jamie who has adventurer soul and who always like to take what his brother has. And her father in law Bob seems like quieter than Silent Bob: He just observes everything and lives in his own world. The setting is glorious, who can resist an old Italian villa with pool, overlooking one of the most beautiful places in Europe. Well, I for one can’t! The story is told from the perspective of Clare who sure has a lot to put up with but is she a bit martyrish??? Phew and as for Ella, let’s settle for manipulative, self obsessed Insta Queen, malevolent and twists things so she seems like the victim. In the ensuing battle of wills I’m in Clare’s corner despite my reservations about her. I cannot understand why Clare is so enamoured with Dan’s family because they are awful! I like the growing tension and Joys gin swilling attempts to brush anything that she doesn’t like under the carpet until disaster slaps her in the face. Wow!!... this book had me hooked from the very beginning… It is literally unputdownable!!’ Goodreads Reviewer Overall an absolutely heart racing, nail biting, unputdownable psychological thriller with a bomb shell you will not see coming!!!

Dan is a cheater, but vows to Clare that he wants their marriage to work. Time will tell. But can Clare trust him anymore? Another brilliant psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat and racing through each chapter. Ella, THE SISTER-IN-LAW is everything Clare isn’t. Glamorous. Young. Influential. But she knows a secret about Clare. Something that has the power to break the whole family apart. Clare and Ella do not get on. Special thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with Arc and this is the third book in raw they send to me and i appreciate that. This book is written in first person perspective and the main protagonist is Kate. The benefits of books written in first person perspective are as long as they are well written it makes you feel that you are being spoken to by the protagonist and it can create more of a bond between yourselves and them.Wow! This was a cast of terrible people, and I didn't like any of them at all! But did I like watching them all squirm around each other...absolutely! Does that make me a terrible person? (don't answer that;))

Sarah was hard to like; she appeared to be flighty, irresponsible, and over-the-top. All of these characteristics were likely increased by her use of ketamine, which is also not something you can just quit. She came through in the end for her sister, but still was not a likable character.Joy, the mother-in-law is the boss of the family and holds the reins over her two sons. She enjoys her daily Gin and Tonics, and likes to be in charge. Her husband, Bob is quite and will do anything to please his wife. Oh it’s a delicious feeling as you anticipate what is going to happen and what chaos Ella will cause and then I literally couldn’t wait for Ella’s downfall

I would like to thank #RuthHarrow, #Netgalley, #InkubatorBooks and #ZoolooTours for an ARC of #TheSilentWife in exchange for an honest review. As the vacation continues, the new sister-in-law starts to make it clear she is not a fan and lays into our main character every chance she gets. Snide comments about her weight, about her parenting, about her cooking and so on and so on. I was so uncomfortable just reading it, I can't imagine being on the receiving end. And of course her in-laws, nor her husband are any real help. So she feels all alone and is left to endure this on her own. And then the big comment comes..."I know about your big dirty secret"....!Rounding out the group will be Dan’s BROTHER, Jamie, the prodigal son, who is often traveling abroad but plans to join them a day or so later... I really wasn't sure about the characters at all, but this added to the suspense and the total feeling of mis-trust (maybe I was just being paranoid) I had throughout. It made me start to formulate theories, which were obviously all wrong and it had me depsperate to get to the end to see the final twist. I really have to question Kate's decisions throughout much of the book. And I want to slap her husband too. Honestly, what was wrong with the man? But Kate...why could she not believe her sister? She should know her sister better than anyone and yes, given her past, know how unreliable she could be. But really, she seemed perfectly lucid to me and yet Kate still refuted her claims. But her bad decisions didn't end there...but I will. You will need to read the book to shake you head at the stupid decisions she makes and circumstances she lets herself fall into. Special thanks to NetGalley and Bookoture for sharing this entertaining ARC with me in exchange my honest review and introducing me Sue Watson’s amazing writing! The rest of the story is told on pins and needles as the main character is frantic with worry over what her new sister in law may or may not tell everyone. What can she do? what should she do? What will happen if she does nothing? And more importantly....what is her big secret?? Oh the tension and suspense! This book does not disappoint! I only wish the ending had more fall out for some characters and we got to see more action from it.

I thought I had the book nailed and the outcome sorted and was happily waiting for it all to unfold Fabulously written, the best characters and I have to mention Joy ( the Mum ) whose disapproving looks, taut smiles and tightening jaw were just awesome I hate Ella character so hard, she is a frivolous and foolish , she has no sense of responsibility, she represents most of the girls of this generation who have an unreasonable obsession with social media and the desire to bring in money by exploiting others naivety but i know she is psychologically ill and this makes me forgive her. I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching cover and intriguing sounding synopsis and title. The synopsis stated that 'The Silent Wife - a gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, K.L Slater and Daniel Hurst'. I am a MASSIVE fan of all three of these amazing authors so am looking forward to seeing if it lives up to this statement. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Headline Accent. I have yet to read a book published by Headline that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book. You don’t think Jamie and I have secrets, do you? No, we tell each other everything.’ She smiled. ‘Including your dirty little secret. So, thinking about it, maybe it’s time to start being nice to me?’This is what life was all about-family, people you love, your children close by, everyone safe, warm and happy.” From little bitchy remarks and sly references it all goes to an open war. And the war is worse when you don't know who exactly you are fighting against. Clare and Dan and family arrive in Italy for their yearly holiday with Dan’s parent’s Joy and Bob and are waiting for Jamie, Dans brother to arrive and join then The more Kate digs for answers, the more questions she has about her sister’s life – it seems Sarah may have been hiding a terrible secret. Even more worrying, Kate is now having her every move watched. I give this book 2 stars. I kept hoping it would get better; that at some point the plot twist would appear and redeem my review…and it just didn’t.
