The Other Woman- Patricia Dixon -psychological thriller            

OMG, wow and every exclamation in the dictionary! Alex runs Everest haulage

, a family firm started by his grandfather. He has a son Ben from his wife who

died when Ben was very young. He is in the process of divorce from Janey- a

ruthless, self centred woman who hates Ben and only sees Alex for what he

can give her in the materialistic/financial gains area. A while ago Alex began

a relationship with Rowan whom he met whilst in France looking after the

European arm of the business. They now have a young daughter Celeste and

sees them along with Ben as his future. Minutes before he is due to leave the

Manchester office for the last time to head to France permanently there is

an incident which drastically changes things and threatens all future plans.

Can he and Rown sort things out to secure their future without the

interference of Janey? 

I very quickly loved this- there is something about Rowan despite her being

“ the other woman”. She comes across as having a heart of gold and

unselfish intentions- the antithesis of her nemesis Janey. This is fast paced

and briefly takes us back to when Rowan and Alex met and became a couple.

Clever, brilliantly written ( as ever) and you just know that there's something

you can't quite put your finger on…. and then BOOM!! (quote Benoir Blin!)

One stunning read and certainly one to remember.
