The New Wife by Sue Watson -psychological thriller
Sam has just married Lauren. They have known each other since they
were small and their parents are best friends. Sam’s mother Georgie is
single and always has been whilst Tim and Helen have always been
there for her. Tim works as a detective chief inspector and is a rock
for both women. When Lauren is found dead at the foot of the spiral
staircase of their new home everyone understandably is devastated.
Even more so when the police decide it wasn't an accident. they
have only been married a few short weeks- who on earth would
want Lauren dead? Is the friend with a troubled past anything to do
with this and if so why?
Argh!!! OMG! One I wanted to race through and find out the whys
and wherefores- to me the sign of an excellent writer. To give that
tension and mystery whilst holding the reader captivated is a true
skill in my book (every pun intended!) I loved this- there were
twists and turns, suspects and not (as in they were and then they
weren’t in my head) and a cleverly put together, very well t
hought out plot that convened perfectly. A tense and suspenseful
read I didn't want to put down.

‐---------------------------
My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying ‘I do’ to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best.
But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense he’s hiding something. Why won’t he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?
Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Lauren’s bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My son’s beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my son’s name? And could my life be in danger now too?
A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Woman in the Window.
