Publisher's Description: Kirsten and Nick are enjoying a weekend away in North Devon until, on their drive home, they accidentally run over and kill a man. They have too much to lose to call for help, and no one can know the real reason they’re here. Instead, they make a split-second decision to conceal the accident.

Meanwhile Amy is waiting for her husband of 10 years, Greg, to come home for the Sunday roast. He doesn't show up. The police believe he left of his own accord. But Amy is convinced someone must be behind Greg’s disappearance, and she won’t give up until she gets justice – or revenge.

My Thoughts

Kirsten and Nick are having an affair. She's a social climber and he's a successful barrister who likes to have a gorgeous young woman at his beck and call, on his terms.

Kirsten finds that Nick is seemingly untroubled by concealing the death of Greg, and has made sure his body has been disposed of, and won't ever be linked to him and Kirsten.

But they reckon without the determination of Amy, who is furious at losing her happy family life and wants revenge on whoever did it.

Throughout the book we read the thoughts of someone who is clearly in prison and we try to figure out who it is and who this person is writing to.

There are a couple of gasp-worthy twists which made this thriller highly enjoyable, and the revenge is highly original.

3.5 stars.

I feel like this book could have been 100x better if the author hadn't given away so much so early on. Right from the get go, we know who the couples are, what they did and who they did it to. I would love to have had these slowly revealed throughout the story. Half way through I knew what was going to happen and by the end I was underwhelmed.
The characters were all a bit mellow. They weren't angry enough or vindictive enough for my liking. The last few chapters and epilogue quirked my interest back up but by this time it was too late.
I enjoyed the writing and story overall and I would read Diane Jeffrey again.

This was a first time read of this author for me. I really enjoyed the story and the twists and turns. The ending was great. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me access to an early copy of this novel.

I binged this fast, as I found it addicting and fun. It starts out with a bang and keeps going, but I did happen to find some of it predictable. Nonetheless the writing was great and pacing was great too.

Characters you hate to love. I love a good revenge thriller and this one was solid for sure. i'll absolutely check out her other books.

Diane Jeffrey this is my favourite of your page turning novels.

The Other Couple grabs your attention and doesn't let go.

Nothing better than a thriller that involves secrets, lies, a murder and revenge for the life taken.

Nasty characters in the couple who are having an affair , both are selfish narcissistic people.

After a dinner out Nick and Kristen are driving in the pouring rain and hit and kill Greg.

Greg's wife Amy vows revenge and you cant help but cheer for her, cry for her.

That's all I can say without giving away Amy's mission of revenge .

I will say the ending is the best.

Get your copy, clear your calendar and settle in for a wild ride.

Thanks to NetGalley and HQ HQ Digital for a pulse pounding read.

I tried numerous times to get into this book. I just could not. I would say this is a slow burn book. If I go back to this book, I will update my review.

Thank you netgalley, Diane Jeffries and HQ digital

A psychological thriller that will keep you gripped until the very last.

When Amy’s husband and dog don’t come home after going out for a walk she is sure that something dreadful has happened to him. At first, the police think he has just left his life but Amy is sure he wouldn’t leave her and the baby they are expecting, so when his body turns up weeks later she sets out to discover just who killed her husband.

I could not put this book does. Really fast- paced and stood from two perspectives, it will leave you guessing until the end.

My Review:
Loved!!!!! This author is amazing!!!!! I have read every single book by her so far and I have loved them all. This book was no different. What didn’t I like is the real question. This one had everything I look for in a great read. It had great characters, a great plot, and of course my favorite a great ending that rocked my world. All the characters were shady as heck. It was fun unraveling all their secrets and finding out what truly was going on. The plot kept me very interested. Who can resist a woman’s quest to find out what happened to her husband. Did he leave her or did something more sinister happen? We follow her journey and let me tell you she never gave up and to me that meant she was super strong in so many ways. I really liked her. Now let’s talk about that ending. Wow, just wow. This author really did this book justice. Read it so you can found out how. That ending left me shocked and speechless. I was so sad to see this one end. I have to say that this might be my favorite book by this author yet. I can’t wait to read more by her.

In conclusion, the plot, the characters and all the twists in this book made this book an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This book pulled me in to quickly! Wonderful twists and turns. I look forward to reading much more from this author. Thank you netgalley for the arc.

Wow I just love this author what an absolutely brilliant read it had me hooked from the very first page which is just what I like.

A great storyline which held my interest throughout, so many twists with a fantastic ending, I cannot speak highly enough and I look forward to my next read from Diane Jeffrey.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for this ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Fantastic read! With wide-ranging scope, well developed characters we have a tense domestic thriller that keeps you glued to the page!

Many thanks to NetGalley and HQ Digital for this ARC!

Clever plot- just that little bit different. Couldn’t help rooting for Amy How far would you go for revenge ?

It's time to even the score.. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and COLD is exactly how it gets dished in this suspenseful page turner. Absolutely crazy, vindictive and dare I say diabolical.
.
I just LOVED to hate these characters. The arrogance, narcissism and all around cluelessness makes for a great read. However, I 100% sympathized with Jamie. and Greg. This is one of the few books in the thriller genre that the male characters pulled at my heart strings more than the female characters.

Witty, suspenseful and very quick page turner. I can't wait to see what Diane Jeffrey comes up with next!

Looking for the revenge thriller of the year? Here it is! Wow!! 😳
From the very first chapter to the very last, this book kept me captivated and turning pages from one twist to another. It does not disappoint.

Kirsten and Nick accidentally kill a man but instead of admitting to it and possibly destroying their own lives, they decide to cover it up. Amy and Greg have the ideal marriage but when he doesn’t return after taking their dog out for a walk, Amy wants to find out who is responsible. Will she get her revenge?

Kristen and Nick are enjoying a weekend away, until on their drive home, they hit a man and killed him. While they knew they should call for help, they loaded his dead body into the trunk and drove off. They figured that they had more to lose – no one could know the real reason they were on holiday.

Amy and Greg have just celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary. Amy is also pregnant, and they couldn’t be happier. When Greg doesn’t return from walking their dog one weekend, Amy knows something is wrong and there is no way he would leave on his own. With little help from the police, Amy sets off to get justice on her own – or revenge.

I was really excited about this book – murder and revenge? Sign me up! This was unfortunately one of those books where the premise sounds better than the execution. I also really hated all the characters in this one, and I couldn’t find any redeeming qualities in them. Unlikeable characters aren’t always a no-go for me, but in this case, it was a lot. This was supposed to be a revenge book, but the real revenge didn’t happen until well into the second half of the book. I did really enjoy the letters from prison. It was fun trying to figure out who sent them, and while there weren’t many options, I guessed wrong – which was fun. I think had the book been described as something other than a revenge book, I would have really enjoyed it as a domestic suspense.

Thank you so much to HQ Digital @hqstories and Netgalley, @netgalley for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

If you are looking for an interesting book with some really unlikeable characters, then grab a copy June 14.

I have been on a revenge thriller kick lately, and this one blew my mind 🤯. The last 25% had my heart racing! I put my phone on Do Not Disturb and chewed my cuticles raw 🫣.

Amy’s revenge was so well plotted and clever!! You don’t know what her plans are until the very last pages. I loved the anticipation!

If you are a fan of revenge thrillers you will love this one 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.

Add this one to your thriller summer reading list!

Thank you @netgalley and @hqstories for my e-ARC.

My first read of one of the authors books and I will be reading more.This was a a brilliantly paced thriller about revenge,the plot was really good and the ending was perfection making you think how far would you go to get even. A fantastic read that I thoroughly recommend.
Thanks to Netgalley and HQ Digital for the ARC.

Amy's husband goes missing whilst walking the dog and the suspicion is that he was killed in a hit and run and his body removed. Amy homes in on the couple who came down from London for a week-end in her rented cottage, and finds they don't exist at least not under the name they gave. As she gets closer to finding them Amy realises she doesn't want justice - she wants revenge. How far would you go? Fast paced and action packed there's a dramatic finale. Unputdownable!

A domestic thriller that starts off with a bang and never lets up. I was tapping my kindle like a demented wood pecker. This book had me sat on the edge of my seat and constantly holding my breath. I devoured this book in one sitting and finally turned the last page at 2.am. Yes this book is that good. Packed to the rafters with tension and suspense and so many twists and turns and an ending I never saw coming and left me speechless. Go to bed early and read this book I promise that you will not be disappointed!!!!
