The Next Wife is a highly tense psychological thriller. It’s dark, violent and scary. I had my hands clenched for main character, Tess, throughout. The story was also a great exploration in how someone can get trapped in an abusive relationship. After all, Daniel seemed to be the perfect man.

Martha, the character who made up a part of the supporting cast was a lovable older lady who I could really sympathise with. The way her worsening dementia was written really tugged at my heart. I read the chapters told from her perspective with eagerness, waiting for the mystery to be unlocked.

From a technical view, I read that the author was a nurse and this shows throughout the book. With both Tess and Daniel being in the medical profession, I really appreciated the interesting medical scenes. 

If you love a psychological thriller that will keep you up at night, this is the one! It also felt realistic which made it all the more scary. It’s hard to comprehend that people who are that cruel really do exist. Thoroughly recommended!

A very well deserved 5 stars for this one, I knew it when I was just 13% in, loved every minute of this book. Total page turner I really struggled to put it down. Tess starts to see her new husbands true colours only months after being married, lies, deceit, controlling mind games, this book has it all. Highly highly recommend.

Delightful psychological thriller that examines the human condition.  I really enjoyed reading this book I would highly recommend it.

This was an engrossing and suspenseful read. 

Obsessions. Lies. Deceit. A unraveling of a marriage to someone you thought you knew.

It grabbed me from the first page and I could barely put it down - and I have a hard time reading thrillers before bed. The descriptions throughout this book were so atmospheric.

The plot was well crafted. There is nothing I love more than a solid domestic thriller. This was a page turner and a perfect read for Fall. 
Special thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book grabbed me from the first page and kept my attention until I finished.   It’s very gripping and chilling, but a must finish to find all answers!  My first read by this author, but so glad I own her others, as it definitely won’t be my last!  Thrill ride of chills, twists, and shocks!  Highly, highly recommend, but not prior to bedtime, as I promise you’ll be up all night trying to finish!  Character development was fantastic, very well written, full of suspense, and unputdownable!! 

Will buzz around and use lower Amazon reviewer number on release date!

Wow I read this book in a few hours on the sofa as I couldn’t bare to put it down. I loved it this is a tale of a dark and twisted man who’s true colours don’t come out until Tess has already uprooted her life to Bath to be with her new husband. As his behaviour slowly spirals out of control she starts to question if she really knows him at all and when a stranger turns up at the door telling her to ask him about his first wife Tess’s life starts to implode and she’s not sure if she will get out alive. A totally thrilling dark read about obsession.

Lawler reels me in from the first page and kept me awake all night until I read its outstanding climax. 
Everyone wants to marry a good girl or a good boy but what if they're not what they say they're. What would you do? 
This is a story about a wife, a husband and how a wife is trapped in a marriage and wants her freedom. What happened to his first wife? 
This is somewhat like Behind Closed Doors and The End of Her but it's final twist was original. 
I loved the characters, narration, dialogues and ending. 
It's scenes are it's main strength. 
I'm doing more promotion on its release date among my fellow Authors Bloggers Friends Family and followers. 
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy of this outstanding psychological thriller.
