The Housewife by Valerie Keogh

4.0

The Housewife by Valerie Keogh is an interesting book, a bit different which is nice. First of all it has a gorgeous cover! I really got into this story of mental illness, family and trust. It wasn't completely obvious who was messing with Diane's Mandy mind. My only real complaint was that the ending was a bit rushed compared to the rest of the book. But other than that I really liked it.

Diane and Paul used to be a happy couple. They have their daughter and a lovely home and Paul makes good money. But things changed when Diane had a breakdown and spent some time in hospital recovering. SInce she has come home things have not been the same. She has started to drink more and is starting to hear and see things. Her memory is not what it used to be and her life seems to be a series of disasters. She isn't even sure she can trust her husband. Is she losing her mind again or is somebody out to get her?

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased.
