Bantam Press The End of Her

Sister in law very happy

What can I say about this book... it was addictive and I almost read the whole thing in one evening. I am a big fan of Shari Lapena's books and was super keen to read this. I am looking forward to chatting about it with #bestbookclub soon. It is a twisty and surprising domestic thriller with plenty of characters that you will love to hate. Be prepared to lose yourself in this one.Stephanie and Patrick are a happy but sleep deprived married couple. They have new born twin girls who have colic and both of them are suffering. But life is good...until Erica turns up. Patrick thought he had seen the last of her but she returns to make a horrendous accusation against him - that he killed his first wife. It was ruled an accident by the authorities but Erica has evidence that the police were not privy to at the time. And she wants money or she share that information. This is the beginning of a downward spiral for everybody that comes into contact with Erica - she is capable of ruining so many lives.Stephanie stands by Patrick at first, but the longer it goes on, the more lies she catches him in. Is her husband a killer? Is she safe?The End of Her has an ending that will shock you, I certainly didn't see it coming. Nothing is as it appears.

Good story & easy read.

Great storyline…..I was hooked from the start 👍🏻

A relationship? Yes. But unlike any other relationship.I always enjoy Shari Lapena’s books.They are not always hard hitting or edge of your seat type of reads, yet they are certainly compulsive kids of reads.This one moved along at quite a pace and I’d finished it before I realised.There were so many things in this reading material that could have lead somewhere for more of a wow factor I think. I expected it to come at the end but it wasn’t as satisfying as I would have liked.I enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong as this author has an easy way of writing, and I never expect too many gasps but I always have been left contented, just not this time.I raised an eyebrow here and there and eyes to the ceiling, if I had to say overall. ….then I would say, ok, nice read. Move on.I’m wondering if I should have read my physical copy and it was the audio version I didn’t connect with?
