Ralph is a complicated guy he has a mistress and wife.  The mistress is a shy unassuming with women that flattered by his attention. His wife on the hand...
I highly recommend this read.  Characters are extremely layered but adds to the story.

As twisted as a mountain road. 
The story starts with Laura, a soft-spoken schoolteacher with faded cardigans and flat shoes is telling the first part of the story. And the title of the book is based on her, The Mistress. She's doing her makeup to meet her lover, Ralph. 
Ralph is a happily married person who has a happy family. There are two things about him. One, he doesn't only teach literature but he lives and breathes it. And second, Helen organises his everything, even him.
The story starts very seriously. In the starting Ralph makes it clear to Laura that he wants to end everything between them. He doesn't want to see her again. On the other hand Laura protests and says that he should have thought about it before and threatened to finish him. 
Although the opening scene of the story tells that Laura did something terrible to Ralph.
Second part is of Helen. I was thinking that the story misses its pacing but after a few pages I came on the track again. Helen and Laura. Laura and Helen. 
They both are deepest characters I've ever read in my life. 
The story ends with an original twist I won't see coming. And I must say that I'm looking forward to Jill's next book.
I loved the characters of Ralph, Helen, Laura, Anna. Mainly these are main characters but other supporting characters are also good in their jobs. 
Jill's narration of telling the story is no doubt brilliant. I was blown away with the twists and emotions. 
I'll ask all my fellow Authors, Bloggers, Followers, Friends and Family to go through it. I'm sure everyone is going to love this psychological thriller as much as I did.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy of this brilliant psychological thriller.
