Well write mystery with interesting characters and location, in Majorca. Enjoyable and interesting plot twists. Story of fallibility and (thwarted) optimism, twisted characters. Recommended.

Thank you, NetGalley, and Quercus Books for a gifted copy of ‘The New Wife’ by J P Delaney.
This latest publication distinguishes itself from the other thrillers by this author and is undoubtedly up there with my favourites by him. This is a captivating and intriguing read, telling a story of obsession, inheritance, and unreliable characters. Delaney's new style was thoroughly enjoyable, and I could complete it in a few sessions.
It was difficult to decide whose perspective I trusted because of the unpredictable plot and surprising twists. Even after reading the conclusion, I am unsure.
The developing situation between Roza and Finn had me completely engrossed. I will refrain from disclosing any information that may ruin the surprise.
The book is well-suited for book club discussions, or as a summer holiday read. I strongly recommend this 5-star rated book and recommend pre-ordering today!
‘The New Wife’ is due for release on 20th July 2023.

More like *3.5 really. His trademark twists didn’t disappoint. I got caught and was pleased when I got to the twist, but the last part was just weird and not quite believable.

I’m quite disappointed by this book, it could have been so much better than it was. The thoughts and predictions I had about what was going on turned out to be a lot better than how it actually ended and the ending was really quite a let down.
I don't like books featuring incest
