The Other Woman's House: A Zailer and Waterhouse Mystery by Sophie Hannah
5.0
A novel FULL of OMGWTFs.
As always, Hannah's latest is chock full of twists and turns and edge-of-the-seat WTFs. And with the recurring characters Charlie and Simon, those are both WTF-is-WRONG-with-these-people types as well as WTF-I-wasn't-expecting-that types.
You should know that unless you start at the beginning of the series the Charlie+Simon relationship will make no sense. Nor, I suppose, will a lot of the side comments about others at the police station, come to think of it.
However, if you've been reading the series all along, this is a great addition. It's the 6th in the series and unlike lots of series books, a later addition doesn't mean a worse work. I haven't actually thought to rank all of the series, but this is one of the best ones so far.
Oh, and for American readers, be ready to look up some phrases and words. :-)
