The Wife’s Revenge by Deirdre Palmer-suspense Thriller
Fran works at a veterinary practice as receptionist. Her husband Hector is self
employed and they have three children. She is receiving gifts from an unknown
person- a cake with a lot of chilli in and a huge basket of flowers along with a
mystery caller. There is no indication of whom they are from and Fran is mystified.
Tessa is married to Ben whom Fran had a very short fling with around two years
ago. Fran ended the relationship and regrets the whole thing. Ben was more
enamoured and said he was in love with Fran. They occasionally bump into each
other and Fran does her best to avoid Ben and any interaction. The chapters are
told mainly between the two women Fran and Tessa.Some of their children go to
school together and so their paths inevitably cross. This is one of those reads that
can put a chill through you. You know something is going to happen and even may
already have happened but not who and why. A cleverly told and thought out plot
with that air of mystery and characters that you take to- or not as the case may
be! (I’m not giving anything away!). A captivating, eerie read in a good way.

The Wife’s Revenge Sometimes the lie is safer than the truth. Fran made the biggest mistake of her life when she had an affair with Ben. Both families
live in the village of Oakheart; their children are friends. Fran’s guilt shadows her days.
But it’s no more than she deserves, or is it? At least she’s managed to protect her
husband, Hector, from the harsh truth. But for how long? Tessa has left her troubles in the past and now has the perfect life. Ben might have his
faults, but his life has not been easy. They need each other, and Tessa will do whatever
it takes to eliminate any threats to her marriage. Threats from women like Fran. A cliff overlooks a disused chalk-pit. The locals call it High Heaven. It’s a place of secrets.
And it’s where Oakheart newcomer Maria died. When Fran discovers a link between
Maria and Ben, disturbing questions arise to which she has no way of knowing the answers. Faced with an ultimatum from Tessa, time is running out for Fran. She’s scared, every
minute of every day. But where does the real danger lie? Purchase Links US - https://www.amazon.com/Wifes-Revenge-Deirdre-Palmer-ebook/dp/B07X3KJ523/ UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wifes-Revenge-Deirdre-Palmer-ebook/dp/B07X3KJ523/
Author Bio –
I live in Brighton with my husband and a tabby cat called Chester. After a career in public
sector admin, most recently at the University of Brighton, it was time to stop dreaming
about being a writer and actually do something about it! Fast forward to the present,
and now I’m both traditionally published and self-published, with five women’s fiction
novels under my own name, and five ‘cosy’ reads, writing as Zara Thorne. I’ve also
published a book of short stories, most of which were previously published in The
People’s Friend magazine. ‘The Wife’s Revenge’ is my first foray into the
psychological suspense genre. Social Media Links – http://deirdrepalmer.com/ https://www.facebook.com/deirdre.palmer.735 https://twitter.com/DLPalmer_Writer
