The Other Wife by Danielle Ramsay

 

The Other Wife by Danielle Ramsay- Psychological Thriller

A woman wakes up and finds herself in a strange room in what looks like a castle. She sees a man with two dogs on the beach below who seems faintly recognisable. She knows she is his second wife, his other wife died and there are things around she knows belonged to the other wife. The housekeeper, who refers to her as Mrs Langdon, tells her she suffers from migraines and that for her not to remember things is quite normal and that she had a mental breakdown a while back. There are no mirrors and she feels as if she doesn't recognise herself- her hair is much shorter as she feels it and she is wary of taking the pills the housekeeper wants her to have. 

This book begins as waking into a nightmare and is dark and twisty. It's a very descriptive read as much is about Mrs Langdon’s feelings and thoughts and that which is around her. I found myself racing through this, it's one of those reads that is quite unsettling in a way, as the reader doesn't know how she got there in the first place. A very different, chilling dark-ish read that had me enthralled.
