The Other Wife by Michael Robotham

3.0

This book was really interesting and insightful. This was my first Micheal Robotham book and I really enjoyed it. I will be exploring more of his books later. In this novel, I was really taken aback in a great way of how well developed and interesting the characters were. They ended up being so strong and well built, with their own stories and intertwined life that it became so real and interesting. I really felt for them, and it was a rare instance where the main character was actually my favourite character. The MC has incredible personal growth and his mindset and ability is so interesting to explore. His relationships are so interesting and well fabricated, and the one that touched me the most emotionally, was his relationship with honesty and parenthood with his youngest daughter, Emma. These awesome characters (probably some of the best collective characters I've seen for a while,) really saved the novel from a 3/5 stars and jumped it up to a 4/5 stars. The story was well written and suspenseful, and kept the pages turning, in the end, 'the who did it?'was fairly easy to predict, but the character's stories and motive were so good and it came together so well, that I didn't mind it at all. I would highly recommend, yet I wouldn't keep it on my bookshelf for the long term.
