This is the first book I've read by this author but it certainly won't be the last! I enjoyed the story immensely and found myself alternately disliking/liking each character a little more with each chapter. A brilliant ending with just enough of a twist to make it believable.

This book was so good!! I really enjoy thrillers and I have not had a thriller engross me as much as this one did for a while! 5 stars!

This is a hard one for me to review as I typically hate who done it plots! It's a trope I always find so frustrating. We all have them dont we? So I am not the target audience at all. I dont want to do this book a disservice though, as I know this is my personal preference in books and not anything wrong with the actual book. Very well written and very well planned out character development. And I belive if you are after a good old fashioned who done it , this is your jam!

Many thanks netgalley

A psychological thriller with a neat plot and twists till the conclusion. I like stories with strong female characters rather than ones fighting over a man like teenagers. Barring that I enjoyed the story and finished the book in one day.

The blurb about this book really caught my attention. This was a classic whodunit which was fantastic. I really also liked the twist at the end! I enjoyed the multiple perspectives. I love books with multiple perspectives. Great read!

This is the first book in a while that truly had me gripped, right from the very first page. I loved the way I didn’t know what was going to happen, and it left me thinking about the story long after it had finished. I would recommend this book to anyone!

4.9/5.0 rounding it to 5.0 stars!

This is actually an interesting story! I am really getting hype into Mystery/Thriller since most of the books I've read recently from NetGalley are great! I never expected to read 3 good mystery/thriller in a row! WOhoooo.

The story starts with Celia's invitation to Louise's ex-husband Andrew and his wife Caz. I have made a lot of assumptions about the story. The women seems to have all the motives since that's how the author put shade in both of them. It's actually really engaging and it's making me really curious.

There are a lot of POV here. There's Louise, Caz, Min and Celia. It's a great set of POV that gives you a lot of idea as to what is going on.

The ending is P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!! I could never imagine another fitting ending. The reason why I like Mystery/Thriller is to be on the killer's POV. To know the reason why they do what they do or kill whom they want to kill. Guess what? I am very satisfied with what happen. I totally agree with the killer. If I am in her shoe, I would have done the same. Oopps.

Why didn't I give full 5 stars? It's only for one thing. The book has a lot of missing letters in a word. I have no idea why. They are most letters "f" and the vowels before or after that. Then I would need to fill the gaps and imagine which words the author really means. I have never stumbled upon such issue in all of the books I've requested but it's kind of making me annoyed sometimes.

Full review will be up on my website https://inkly.in SOON.

Ooo y’all this was such a good surprise! Definitely was impressed with this novel and the storyline was phenomenal.

My first book by Tess Stimson and it will definitely not be my last! Great read full of twists and turns. Couldn't put this one down and was not ready for it to end. Highly recommend!
Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to #netgalley and #avon books uk for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. My first time reading a book from Tess Stimson and it won't be my last. This book had me hooked from the start. It kicks off with the murder of the huband and his current and ex wife are both discovered with his body. We always know the wife did it, but in this case which one did it, ex or current?! The ex wife still has strong feelings for her ex husband and doesn't seem to like his current wife Caz or seeing how happy he appears to be with her. Suspensefully written with some plot twists I did not anticipate, a great read. #tessstimson #oneinthree #netgalley #avonbooksuk #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads #litsy #bookstagram #bookqueen #greatreads #amazon#kindle

Thank you to NetGalley, publisher and author for this advanced reading copy. I'm so sad; I only got as far as about 10% of the story but could not go on reading. The reason is, book was full of grammatical errors that were extremely distracting. To be fair, all I read was very engaging and I was looking forward to the resolution of this story. I really liked the narration style, which didn't take me to long to decide. I will give this book 4 stars because even though I did not finish it, the book had me hooked. On the other hand, I can't give it 5 stars because I did not finish it and it doesn't feel fair. As soon as it is available I plan to buy the finished version - hopefully with no grammatical errors. I need to know how this story ends. This is my first book from this author and I look forward to reading more from her.

I was supposed to put a 4 star rating but the spelling/grammatical error infuriated me, because it was only centered on words with FL or FI; it was missing it! Like the word “floor” would be oor. It was annoying. .

Anyway, the story was a classic “who-dun-it”. But as there are a lot of people who had the motive, you’ll be guessing till the end. .

It’s an entertaining and a fast read, finished it in a sitting.

I’ll definitely check out more of the authors’ books

Absolutely fantastic read. My first by this author but definitely wont be the last.

This has been gripping and engaging and a book which I have not been able to put down. I have devoured this in just one sitting.

Thank you to NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Both of them loved him. One of them killed him. This was a classic whodunit with a love triangle between the husband Andrew, the current wife Caz, and the ex-wife Louise. I gave this book three stars because, although I enjoyed reading it and it kept me turning the pages, the fighting between these two women over the less than honorable Andrew did not sit well with me. They involved children, extended family and coworkers in their sick and silly attempt to outshine each other for his affection. I would have much preferred it if Caz and Louise had banded together to turn on the creepy and shady Andrew. I just couldn't get past the immaturity and pettiness of these otherwise successful women. But i digress.

By the time the anniversary party of Louise's parents happens and both Caz & Louise are found standing over Andrew's body, his character had become so deplorable I honestly didn't care who killed him. This book did keep me guessing throughout and it ended with a twist that I will admit I did NOT see coming. Overall it was page turner and relatively fast paced, but I couldn't help but wish the female characters were stronger and a bit more self assured. No man is worth all that Caz & Louise put each other, and their children, through.

Highly enjoyed this who done it thriller. There is lots more drama then I'm use to but it was definitely kept me wanting to read more.

Andrew is murdered at his ex mother in law's golden anniversary party. The drama unfolds as we learn the dark secrets of his wife and ex-wife.

I don't want to give anything away but I can see this being a summer must read. One negative is all the errors!!! Please fix them. There is so many I almost didn't even finish reading but thankfully I was hooked on the story. It's not Grammer it's almost like a glitch or something. Words are missing the first few let's or aren't spaced correctly.

A very good read - I’m usually pretty good with mysteries, but this one has me guessing until the end! The dialogue was very well written - made you feel like you were there and with the characters.

I really tried to like this book and just could not finish it. Initially I was into it, but watching the new wife constantly sit back and watch the divorced wife just take control of her husband, and take it drove me crazy. I gave up

Firstly a big thank you to Avon for accepting my request to read on netgalley.

This book is amazing! I highly recommend if you like your thrillers twisty and unpredictable.

This had so many twists and turns it was like a rollercoaster ride . Written with layers that keep unravelling right up to the last page.

Toxic characters equal addictive reading !

A dark read that gets darker and captivates you to read on.

Cleverly written and plotted.

I stayed up until four in the morning because I could not put this book down. It was well written, suspenseful, and had so many twists and turns.

Louise is the ex-wife to Andrew and Caz is the mistress turned current wife. The first chapter tells us about the murder of Andrew. The rest of the book is told with alternating POV’s and explains the tumultuous relationship between everyone. You begin to learn their history and what has made Caz and Louise so spiteful to each other. Just when you think you’ve figured out who killed Andrew there’s another great twist. love books that keep me guessing and this certainly did until the very end!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was pleasantly surprised by this thriller involving an ex wife and the new wife. Louise the ex wife and Caz the new wife are both unreliable characters with a lot of questionable history. We find out in the prologue who the victim is so the whole book is trying to determine who do it. They all have plenty of reason. It took me awhile to determine who the “bad” guy was and I’m still wondering if I actually know. Great read that had me hooked til the last page.
