The Secret Wife by Emily Shiner

5.0

Woah. What did I just read? I literally binged this book in 6 hours - I could not put it down at all. I even thought I knew what was going to happen (I guessed to an extent) but then Emily threw in another twist right as I thought I’d guessed correctly.

Cara is a strong-willed character and I adored Michael but my opinion did change at the end. I thought it was quite eventful, it was a fast-paced thriller that kept the reader on their toes and even when you think you’ve pegged the kidnapper, Emily throws another curveball. At first I thought it was because it was obvious so she wanted to keep the reader but actually, it’s actually quite upsetting.

I cannot imagine ever having a child kidnapped and trying to find out who done. I am sure Michael was feeling helpless when one of his kids was kidnapped and the other returned. However, I think the readers opinion of Michael will change at the end of the book… No spoilers!!

A great book that made me want to read as fast as I could to get to the end to see who kidnapped their daughter and why.

Thank you to @zooloosbooktour for allowing me on your book tour and to @authoremilyshiner for allowing me a copy of this ARC! This is my first book from you and it won’t be my last!
