The Other Wife by Michael Robotham
4.0
This is only the second Michael Robotham novel that I read.
The Other Wife is the ninth novel in the series. Even though I haven't read any other O'Loughlin novels, my enjoyment wasn't at all diminished, as there was plenty of background information about the characters.
Joe O'Loughlin is a psychologist. The past eighteen months have been hell, as his wife and mother of his two girls died due to post-surgical complications. On top of that, the poor Joe has Parkinson's disease.
When his elderly father is discovered bashed in a home, lots of questions arise. Joe discovers a very different William O'Loaughlin. He can't help himself, so he takes it upon himself to find out who wanted his father dead, as it's apparent that it wasn't a robbery attempt.
My favourite mystery/suspense/thrillers are those that are strong on the psychological aspects and don't have obvious plot holes. I've only read two Robotham novels, but I admire his ability to create complex, realistic characters whose motivations and actions make for a riveting read.
I look forward to reading more Robotham novels.
