Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow what a page-turner! I was glued from the beginning to the last page as the tension builds and builds!

A particularly unlikeable couple, Kirsten and Nick, are on a romantic break when they cause an accident killing a man and taking his wife’s happy life away from her. And more. With so much to lose, they decide to cover up the accident.

As the victim is being dealt with by the local police as a missing person, his wife becomes increasingly convinced something very bad has happened to him and vows to find who is responsible and make them pay.

This is one of those books that you just want to read in one sitting! I managed to do it in three, but only because life and responsibilities got in the way!

I was hoping Amy, the victim’s wife, would find the couple and make them pay. Every step closer she got to them I was silently urging her on further!

I loved the way the book was written in alternating chapters from Amy and Kirsten, and I enjoyed how Kirsten was spiralling downwards, just waiting for that knock on the door.

Will be reading more from this author.

Absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down until the end. Well written the storyline is full of twists. A book I would thoroughly recommend.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. The plot, with twist and turns. Get me glued to this book. Awesome read

This book had me gripping the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next. I felt the characters were written well and stayed true to themselves to the end. The plot was well thought out and cleverly constructed.
Each chapter was titled with one or the other of the two female leading characters, which I quite like, however despite this the book was written in a third person which I found slightly odd.

I had not heard of Diane Jeffery before but from this book I will certainly be putting more of hers on my tbr list.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc copy, again you have introduced me to a new writer.

Great read, twisty and fast paced plot. Maybe stretches credulity just a bit but excellent characters and a very satisfying ending.

The Other Couple is my first book written y Diane Jeffrey and I was pleasantly surprised. It is well written and whilst truly character driven, it is still keeping the suspense alive throughout. The realistic dialogue and believable interactions between the characters made the story even more interesting. Although I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending (it was the only point that didn’t ring true to me), I still found the book highly enjoyable. This promising discovery has sparked my interest, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author.

This was an intense, gripping, edge of your seat thriller. Absolutely was hooked from the first page, great story, amazing twists tat was hard to predict and intriguing characters.

Loved everything in this book ! The accident, the cover-up, the widow's plan for revenge, all was good ! I totally recommend it

I loved Diane Jeffrey's previous books and I'm glad to say this one is a very good one too.

A very dark domestic thriller in which a widow seek revenge for her husband, killed in a hit and run, the other couple is a real page-turner. Not for the usual reasons – you know from the start who the victim and the killer is – but to see how far Amy is willing to go to carry out her revenge, how she is going to execute it, and if she is going to get away with it. I was glued to the pages and was very satisfied with the ending.

Although I didn't find any of the characters particularly loveable, I could empathise with Amy and her in-laws, even though some choices and actions were questionable...

A book to watch out for, the perfect read to keep you up at night.

Thank you NetGalley and HQ digital for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Two couples. A fatal accident. And a decision that changes everything…
Kirsten and Nick are enjoying a weekend away until, on their drive home, they accidentally run over and kill a man. They should call for help – but they have too much to lose, and no one can know the real reason they’re here. Instead, they make a split-second decision to conceal the accident.

Amy and Greg have just celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary. Amy is expecting a baby, and they couldn’t be happier. So when Greg fails to come home from a dog walk one weekend, Amy knows the police are wrong to believe he left of his own accord. Someone must be behind Greg’s disappearance, and Amy won’t give up until she gets justice – or revenge.

If you had nothing left to lose, how far would you go to find the truth?

I loved this book. A gripping thriller with great characters, and a finale I didn't anticipate. I will definitely be recommending this excellent book.

This book had me hooked right from the start with so many twists and turns. Amy was such a wonderful character, and I loved how the story came together at the end with Amy’s revenge so well plotted and clever and oh so sweet!! Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

What a wild ride! This book had me hooked from the beginning. This was a true revenge story told in dual narration from the two women Amy and Kirsten. Suspenseful, compelling, intense and an overall great book from start to finish.

Imagine you and your lover just had a wonderful weekend away and you decide to stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant on your travels home. While sipping that glass of wine you can't help feeling like life is great and how blessed you truly are!

Back on the road with full bellies and warm hearts when BANG!!!! You've hit a man out walking his dog. It was an accident. You never even saw him standing there. Now it's decision time: Call the proper authorities or make him disappear? He's already dead so it's not as if medics are going to be able to help. Why should your life be ruined over a simple accident?

Now imagine you're at home putting the finishing touches on dinner when your husband decides to bring the dog for a quick walk. Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, an hour and your husband still hasn't returned. It's as if he's vanished into thin air and what about the dog? Where did he run off to?

Detectives believe the husband did a runner. Wife believes otherwise and she will stop at nothing until justice is served. Let the games begin!

I did this book such a disservice by picking it up at a time when life was too busy and hectic to focus on it. Ten minutes here, five minutes there, with even days in between when I couldn't pick it up at all. I hate when that happens. Yet even with half my attention I can't deny that this was an entertaining book and I was easily able to slip back into the story whenever I did have the chance. Don't expect a lot of surprises or shocking twists as this is a straight up revenge story and I was all for it. There's just something so satisfying about watching terrible people get there comeuppance. The ending was the cherry on the sundae for this reader! 🍒 4 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for my complimentary copy.

An interesting take on a revenge type thriller but lacking in many thrills I felt. I enjoyed the start but there were so many instances of odd behaviour the story seemed to go off the boil. I couldn’t get a feel for the marriage of Kirsten and Jamie and especially the very small impact poor little Lily had on her mother’s behaviour.
The book is clever in parts but failed to really grab me.

First book I have read from this author, and will be looking out for more. Just loved it! Written from the point of view of two very different women, building up the story and intrigue between them without repeating what’s already been as often happens with other books. Very cleverly put together. Just enough description without going into reams, which I much prefer. Great twists and turns! Thank you for the opportunity to read this, really enjoyed the style and storyline.

This was such a cleverly executed storyline and I found it so refreshing to read a book that was not forever going backwards and forwards over different timescales.. A fatal accident that changed everyone’s lives forever. A totally compelling account of how Kirsten and Nick dealt with the fall out of the cover up and how it affected Amy’s lie and that of her in-laws. Revenge is a dish best served cold ,a very powerful emotions, possibly more so than justice for Amy. A tense read with good twists and loved the inclusion of Rusty the dog. Will definitely be reading more books by this author.
Thank to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read this book.

Tense from the start, you know that the unravelling of this story is going to be painful. Separate strands of the truth are uncovered and then woven together to paint a picture of how to lose everything and how justice - or revenge - will drive what happens next.
