Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

This is a really good, compulsive and extremely dark psychological thriller, full of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Edge of your seat stuff - I absolutely couldn't put it down. Highly recommended for fans of domestic noir.

A great thriller that keeps you guessing well into the early morning hours. It was well written and I love the main character and how she was trying to hold things together.
Highly recommend

I really struggled with The Other Mrs by Mary Kubica. It was a slow burner that didn’t improve the longer I read it. Not a gripping read for me and I could not finish it.

I always love Mary Kubica’s writing. She never misses and I love all of her stuff. I really enjoyed the main protagonist in this one and found the writing very compelling.

Really enjoyed this book. Great twist at the end that I didn't see coming. Can't wait for more from the author!

Love Mary Kubica books and was keen to read this before the Netflix adaptation however I found the story dragged and also that is was very predictable. Disappointing

I have read other books by this author which I really enjoyed and this is no exception. A really good psychological thriller which I highly recommend, Bring on the next book and can I have it please?

I totally loved this from Mary, I have enjoyed all her previous but I think this one was my favourite so far! Keeps you on your toes guessing throughout the book and you have an awful sense of foreboding throughout, A seriously good book to get lost in and I can’t wait for her next offering ☺️

A very well written psychological thriller with a claustrophobic sense of place and a really shocking twist at the end. Recommended.

In this book we meet Sadie a doctor who is married to Will, Camille a sassy younger lady who had an affair with Will and Mouse a scared 6year old. What links these 3
Sadie and her family move to look after their orphaned niece following her mother’s suicide. Sadie finds it hard to settle. The move was supposed to put their marriage back on track following her husbands affair , an issue involving her eldest son and her bear breakdown at the hospital she worked at. Her niece seems to hate her, she’s struggling to fit in in her new job and then a neighbour is murdered.
A very interesting read which kept my interest as I tried to discover not only who murdered Morgan but what the link was between the 3 main story tellers

An absolutely fascinating thriller. I loved the premise of this book- a family moving to a remote small town, an obsessive beautiful woman following them with her sights set firmly on the husband, yet she soon becomes embroiled in something much bigger as the only witness to a horrific crime. A brilliantly woven tale, I loved it from start to finish.

The Other Mrs by Mary Kubica is an exciting and suspense filled novel that builds the tension slowly, keeping you gripped from its very first page right through to its final, shocking conclusion. Atmospheric and with an almost claustrophobic feel, this is a book that reveals its secrets slowly, taking you on a journey of intrigue, murder and lies.

When Sadie reluctantly moves with her husband Will and two children to a tiny coastal town, she feels uneasy from the moment she steps foot inside the old house that is about to become her home. So when a local woman is found murdered, Sadie’s fears bubble over to breaking point, leaving her convinced that there’s a killer living amongst them.

And then there’s Camille. Beautiful, hot headed and obsessed with Sadie’s husband, Will. So much so that she’s followed them thousands of miles to their new home – and unwittingly becomes the only witness to an horrific crime.

What follows is a tense and gripping psychological thriller that keeps you on your toes throughout. With twists, turns and a creepiness that will make you shudder, this is an unsettling tale that I thoroughly enjoyed. The tension slowly increases as you move through the story, leading to a shocking denouement that took me completely by surprise!

Mary Kubica’s writing is second to none, bringing the claustrophobic atmosphere of this small coastal town vividly to life. The Other Mrs is an exciting psychological thriller that had me intrigued from the opening page and didn’t let go until the final, thrilling page had been turned.

Highly recommended.

Another great book from Mary Kubica. I’ve read other books by this author this one was just as good as those. I really enjoyed the story and the characters were well thought out.

Sadie and Will Foust have recently moved to Maine with their two children. Soon after they arrive, a murder takes place in their small town which puts everyone on edge. Sadie, a doctor, has gaping memory lapses and becomes a suspect in the murder. If you can overlook the fact that Sadie is a practicing physician with serious mental health issues, the reader will enjoy the twists and turns in this Gone Girl/Girl on a Train like thriller.

Sadie & Will decide to move after their fair share of problems. So they move from Chicago to Maine.
They move into a house which belonged to Will’s sister who committed suicide there. They are also guardians to their niece Imogen a very angry teen.
They have not been there long when their neighbour Morgan is murdered .
Sadie comes under suspicion from the police so she decides to look into the murder herself
Added to the mix is a stalker
Very good read
Thanks NetGalley

This was a mixed one for me. Started well, slowed down a little too much in the middle. But wow, that ending! Didn't predict that at all! Strong, believable characters and very tense scenes!

Actual rating 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars.

Will and Sadie move their family to a small coastal town following the death of Will's sister as they now of custody of her daughter. As they are adjusting to their new life the murder of their neighbour is going to cause secrets to be revealed.

This book is told from a few different POVs that are tied together in what is meant to be a shocking way. The main plot twist wasn't too shocking for me. I felt that the author had dropped a lot of clues along the way to the direction that the plot was going to take and how the POVs were going to tie together. Although that being said one of the character's involvement did surprise me.

I did find the start of the book to be a little slow-moving however once the main plot twist was revealed the pace really picked up and became very gripping.

I'm not sure how believable the plot is and I think that certain aspects could have been developed further. Overall this was a good read for me and I am interested to check out more from this author in the future.

Another great read from Mary Kubica. THe perfect domestic thriller to escape into. The story is told from 3 narrators all of which have their own version of events but are intertwined and the suspense builds throughout the book. It's full of twists, a lot of which I didn't see coming and I had no idea who to believe.
100% recommend this one!

Mary Kubica is a new author to me so I was very eager to start reading. And it won’t be my last book of hers for sure. What a great thriller it was.

A few weeks after Sadie and her family moved into their new house their neighbour is brutally murdered. Our protagonist finds herself drawn into the mystery and becomes desperate to discover the truth.

It was a dark and tense crime thriller full of twists and suspense. The story is told from different points of and it was done brilliantly. The author’s writing was amazing and the unreliable characters well crafted. From the beginning I could feel the atmosphere of lies and dark secrets which added a great value to the novel. I must admit I have guessed the main twist half way through but non the less it didn’t ruin my experience. The Other Mrs was a brilliant and enjoyable read. Highly recommend.
