zooloo1983 's review for:
The Innocent Wife
by Lisa Regan
Wowzers! What did I just read?! This book was unreal! The story was just mental and I wasn’t expecting THAT!! Book Contender for 2022…HELL YEAH!
I love this series but this one will stick in my mind for a while. One lie, one mistake, causes utter destruction and I had no idea how it all linked together. When it happened, I still had questions, I had a loose end, and then it was tied up…… Jaw dropped… What a clanger! I was twisted up in knots with this book. It was very cleverly done. I am in awe. I just simply loved this book!
I don’t want to talk about the story because I don’t want to give anything away but the story of Claudia and Beau is a story that just keeps on giving. So many secrets were uncovered throughout the book making you question how well you know your closest person. The couple is famous, on TV, writes books and so much more, so this case is already high profile. And with Josie on the case you know she will solve it, and bringing back a character from a previous book was an interesting plot twist. Despite bringing them back, I didn’t see them enough but it is going to be a great dynamic for the team. Looking forward to seeing how it works in the future.
I have to applaud the author because she shows these characters as humanly as she possibly can and I appreciate the fact that Josie is still dealing with the loss of someone close to her. I respect the realistic portrayal of grief, it’s tough, hard and heartbreaking, but as much as I hate seeing Josie go through, it was real and raw. It gives the characters all depth.
Just everything worked for me and it was just brilliant.
Roll on to the next one!!!
