A review by rachhenderson
The Other Wife by Michael Robotham
4.0
It's almost exactly three years since I read the first Joseph O'Loughlin book, ([b:Suspect|477362|Suspect (Joseph O'Loughlin, #1)|Michael Robotham|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361387524l/477362._SY75_.jpg|2321023]), and it's interesting to go back and read all of my reviews. The series definitely got stronger as it went along.
There are some great things about this one:
1. It's focussed on Joe but still includes a good amount of his buddy, Vincent.
2. Neither Joe or Vincent allow any teenage girls associated with the case to move in with them.
3. Joe doesn't let his daughters help investigate.
4. The police consistently and continuously tell Joe to stay out of the case.
So the believability level is a lot higher than most of the other books.
In this book, Joe is called to the hospital after his father is bashed unconscious, only to find a women claiming to be his father's second wife at his bedside. Joe quickly comes to discover that his father is not the man he thought he was.
A good mystery, easy to keep turning the pages, I'll miss Joe and Vincent but maybe they'll turn up again in one of Robotham's Cyrus Haven books.
4.5 stars rounded down
