A review by samr007
The Other Wife by Michael Robotham

3.0

I would probably give this 3.5 stars. I really like the writing of Michael Robotham and I read this book without reading any others in this series. A good mystery, without being great, in my opinion. I liked the main character Joe, but probably would have felt more affection for him had I been on his 9 book journey with him. As is, I wondered why he was such a terrible dad, and why he acted like a cop, when he wasn't one. I also didn't really like his dad, although there were quite a few characters I did like, and most of them seemed very real and believable. That aside, trying to learn about his father and the 'second family' was interesting, and I did enjoy most of the narrative action. The ending fell down little for me, but all in all, it wouldn't stop me from going back and reading a bit more about Joe's life.
