Description
'Twisty, riveting storytelling with a plot that surprises until the very end. Happily Ever After is a beautifully written thriller' Clare Leslie Hall, author of Broken Country
Nobody told her that marriage would be murder . . .
Ned Wheeler was devoted to his family. He was also convicted and jailed for murder.
After spending three decades in prison, Ned's up for parole. But this is not his story. It's about Joan, the wife who was fooled by his good looks and charm; Cass, the daughter who wants nothing more to do with him; and Florence, the woman who wants the world to know she's saved him.
Moving seamlessly between contemporary London, the hedonistic hippy summer of 1970 and the small world of 1980s Isle of Wight, Mary Horlock has delivered an utterly gripping and moving thriller about love, loss and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive.

Ohh this was sooo good!
The story is told from 3 POVs: The serial killers Ex wife, his estranged daughter and the woman who thinks she can save him.
To say I was hooked is an understatement!
From the hippy summer of 1970 to the small world of 1980's Isle of Wight, Mary has woven two periods of time effortlessly. It was such a different time then, and it makes you realise how much the world has changed since.
There were plenty of twists and turns thoughtout to keep you guessing, and whilst I started to have my suspicions about one charcater early on that turned out to be correct (yey me!) The ending was a shocker! I thought this was really cleverly written and one which likes to keep the reader on their toes!
Thank you to @netgalley for an early ARC of Happily Ever After ✨️
I'm very excited to talk to other bookworms about this one when it comes out in July!
