Despite the slow pacing and predictability of the story, I did enjoy it.

The ending definitely made up for what was lacking.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was my first book by this author, so I wasn't too sure of what to expect from them.
I was pleasantly surprised, honestly.

I loved the storyline / plot. These types of things happen daily, and as a mom, this type of book hits me hard. We all fear this happening to our daughters.
The book was well-written. It was easy to follow and hard to put down.

I'll definitely be looking out for other work by this author.

The only reason I wouldn’t recommend this book for my curriculum, is that I teach second grade. I did however recommend it to my book club and everyone seems to be excited about it. Thanks for sharing it

How pleasing it is to read a thriller which leaves you questioning throughout. The best storytelling for me is that which is immerselful, realistic enough to be believable but so far removed from my reality to provide the unthinkable and escape. A page turner which left you hungry for the next chapter. Well considered series of events tied in well with past flashbacks. A thoroughly enjoyable read and will look forward to reading more titles from this author. Many thanks to Kerry Wilkonson, Bookouture and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Unfortunately I’ve lost my notes for my review of What My Husband Did and don’t have enough to give my usual review. But! I loved this, it’s fast paced, dark and kept me reading long into the night. Perfect for curling up with in your perfect chair in front of a roaring fire,
4/5

I did enjoy this book. Unfortunately, I got a bit lax at writing reviews over Christmas so now need to remember to review books shortly after reading them as it's hard to do them a few weeks afterwards. Would recommend.

Two things of significant importance have taken place: a 12-year-old girl was left for dead and a man is missing. There is an apparent connection, however, as a witness As this thrilling story is told from Maddy King's first person point of view it and the man that is missing is her husband Richard. Things begin unraveling for Maddy as time slowly passes and she wonders where Richard could possibly be, and whether or not he had anything to do with what happened to the child.

Maddy has something else on her mind, and that involves Richard's past. However, I do not want to include any spoilers in this review. Suffice it to say that things indeed proved to be murky, thus a shroud of guilt soon hover's above Richard's character. Will he show himself and prove his innocence? Could what is happening prove to the undoing of a previously quite happy relationship in his marriage to Maddy? Good questions these, and this intriguing story does a fine job of revealing things layer by layer, all while a little girl lingers near death.

This fine story by Kerry Wilkinson takes some sharp turns, even introducing at least one character with nefarious motives. Whether it is gossip, or facts, I enjoyed how this story was told. I love this twist and the ones that followed, thus making this book incredibly difficult to put down. And the ending!! What a shocker. What thrilled me so much about this book is the rabbit hole I fell into and I felt myself clawing to the top while trying to discover the truth. For the author to put me in that position I think was a job well done. If the story itself did not captivate me, then the ending most certainly did. All in all, this was a very good story and it makes me happy that I got a chance to read this book.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

An absolute cracker of a book.

Devoured in one sitting. A proper page turner which had me gripped from the start.

Great writing, well thought out plot. Thought provoking and stunning plots.

For anyone who has not read Wilkinson before, this would be a great starting point.

Highly recommended from me, 5 stars.

I have loved all of Kerry's books and when his latest came out I just had to cancel my chores for the day, find a comfy spot, open my kindle and start to read it. Oh my it did not disappoint! What My Husband Did by Kerry Wilkinson was an excellent read. I loved it and was hooked from the second page. This is another book full of twists and turns throughout that will have you gripped! Kerry, You have done it again!

I highly recommend this latest book and then again all of his books. Kerry is just an excellent author!

Big Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author Kerry Wilkinson for my ARC in exchange for an honest review

Wow this book was crafted so well, it hooked me from the start! Right away we meet Richard who offers twelve year old Alice a ride home. “Stranger Danger” comes to my mind and does Richard has ill intentions? Hours later Alice is found lying in a stream and Richard is missing. Madeline and Richard have been married five years, she was the student and he the lecturer. Madeline begins to put the pieces together and there’s secrets to be discovered! This is fast paced, very suspenseful with a bunch of well developed characters. I read this in one sitting, it’s unputdownable! Thank you to Bookouture, the author, and NetGalley for an ebook arc. This is my honest review.

I really enjoyed this one! Such an easy page turner. I think from the outset you are waiting for something more and the author certainly delivers on that front. Loved the charatcers and the pace and couldnt wait to race to the end yet didnt want to ever stop reading, Such a great modern psychological thriller! 5/5 for me and will definitely be recoomending this one.

Another good story from Kerry Wilkinson with lots of twists . Well worth a read.I recommend this book.
Thank you to Netgalley for the chance to review this book

I was expecting more of this book, but really it was very tame and boring. It so got on my nerves after a while all the talk about how to fit in with the village and being accepted etc. Having grown up in a smallish village, although living outside the village, I know how they can be but this was just so overdone and forever being repeated.
For the most part the plot was not really believable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, very interesting from the beginning! Nice to see how it ended and not expected! Thanks for a great read!

Another great psychological thriller from Kerry Wilkinson. He writes in such a way - giving just enough clues to make you think you know what's going on but then the twists start coming. This book was fast paced and tense throughout.
Thanks to publishers Bookouture and NetGalley for sharing an advance copy of the book;

A gripping read overall with some unexpected twists and turns.

A few unlikable characters and the main character was quite stoic for me but overall a good read. I’ll definitely try some more by this author.

Thanks to NetGalley for my review copy.

A chilling prelude as a man asks a little girl to get into his car. She is reluctant, but does anyway. She is later found face down in the river and the man disappears. The wife is left face the suspicions of the shallow and gossipy neighbours as well as the police investigation that follows.

Told in the first person by the man's wife, she uncovers secrets about her husband and other things she didn't know about him. The situation reminds of her of her own situation when she was the same age as the girl found in the river. Then the man under suspicion of a terrible crime was her father. As she tries to find her husband she gets to know the villagers better and discovers that some of them aren't as superficial as they appear. Or as nice.

This is an engaging story that increases in tension. It is about assumptions and injustice, and the tragedy they leave in their wake. Recommended.

I really enjoy thrillers and in reading the synopsis of this book, I was immediately drawn in. In the very beginning of the book you know something happened to a young girl and you really want to figure out what. I enjoyed the writing style and the length of the chapters but the story seemed to move at a slow pace. A lot happened in the last 20% of the book and that was great! But, the lead up seemed to be drawn out so the ending felt rushed in a way. I wonder if some of the clues dropped at the end of the book could have been placed more evenly throughout the story to help pique my interest longer.

I read this in one sitting - I just had to know what happened!! Great book for this genre, would definitely recommend.

My first Kerry Wilkinson novel, and I have to say I enjoyed it! Lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing! Thank you
