His Ex-Wife: A completely compelling, twist-filled psychological thriller
She wants him back. I want her gone.
I've never felt welcome in my husband Dominic's family home. His parents make it clear I'm a poor comparison to his perfect first wife, Carla. But we're here for Christmas, so it's important to pretend everything is fine. Until Dominic's mother bustles into our bedroom. Smiling thinly, she blindsides me: 'You won't mind, will you. Carla is coming for the holidays. She's still one of the family to us, and she can't get home because of the storm.'
My eyes widen - did she and Carla plan this on purpose? I know Dominic won't say a thing. He never stands up to his parents. Apart from marrying me, I guess - with my past, I wasn't exactly what his family wanted. But then I see the smallest hint of satisfaction cross his face. Did he know about this too?
When Carla arrives, her beautiful smile doesn't fool me. And with the howling snowstorm promising days of ice-white isolation, we're stuck here. It's quickly clear that not only does she want Dominic back, she wants me gone. Forever...
But what neither she nor Dominic know, and his family can never guess, is that I'm far, far tougher than they give me credit for. I've survived before. If I have to, I would kill to survive again...
This tense, twisted and utterly gripping psychological thriller is filled with deadly family secrets hiding in plain sight. Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, The Housemaid and Lisa Jewell.
