My Other Husband: the heart-stopping new novel from the queen of the big reveal

Product Information

You can always tell when a writer doesn’t care. All the words, no matter how pretty, no matter how clever, if they don’t come from the heart, they mean nothing. They fall flat. You can always tell.” https://www.dorothykoomson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/someone-is-trying-to-frame-me-for-murder.mp4 Someone's trying to frame me for murder. But I can't prove my innocence. Because then I'd have to confess about... my other husband. The characterisation is excellent even those who are unlikeable are well portrayed and you gasp at some of the dialogue with the racist and sexist comments that Cleo is on the receiving end of especially in her career.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a full book in one day but this was literally in my hand for the whole day.

LoveReading Says

This was a totally engrossing tale of past crimes and control, and tension and suspense are in plentiful supply. With very strong and expertly drawn characters I found myself invested in them all the way through, though there were some necessary distasteful ones. I have read several of Dorothy Koomson's other novels, including The Ice Cream Girls, The Brighton Mermaid and Tell Me Your Secret, and this novel, My Other Husband is just as good. Great unpredictable storytelling and well-worth five stars. A brilliant rollercoaster of a thriller about obsessive love and hidden secrets. Tense, twisty and unputdownable.

Bob Mortimer wins 2023 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction with The Satsuma ComplexAt its heart, this is a tale of obsession, which I found fascinating (though it took a while to get there), but then so much other stuff started happening with murders and revenge that this primary theme that I wanted to learn more about got buried. Not much happens in the first half of the book and then SO MUCH happens in the last couple of chapters that it was somewhat jarring; and the end, while twisty, left me with unanswered questions. I did like some of the characters, especially Sidney, but felt that a good story became a little fantastical when all was said and done.
