A review by windy_witch
The Dead Ex by Jane Corry

3.0

This story is about Vicki who suffers from epilepsy and works as an aromatherapist in a quiet seaside town. It is clear that she is trying to hide something from her past from the beginning. The police turn up one day announcing that her ex-husband has been missing for some time and want to know if she has seen him recently. This unwanted visit from the police brings back memories that she was trying to banish.

As the story unfolds the author brings the story in from the past of a young girl called Scarlet, it is quite difficult from the beginning to ascertain where this ties into the plot with Vicki and her missing husband. However following through the story and as events unfold you find out the truth about Scarlet in the end. I did find this a little difficult to follow at times and struggled to fit these pieces together.

However overall I enjoyed reading this novel and would like to thank Negalley for the opportunity to read it.
