A family full of lies, deceit and hatred for each other running down in generations, wanting to prove they would do anything for family but yet hurting each other in the process both physically and mentally.
I great book which had me gripped and guessing from the start and gasping when things were revealed. Had more twists and turn that’s a rollercoaster, if I could give more than 5* I would, a great book that everyone needs to read. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is about sisters and their secrets. But this family seems to have many many secrets. It is a twist and turn mystery and more is going on than it seems. In the beginning it was difficult to keep track, Diane and Alice in the past, then Brooke and Freya in the present. But it becomes clear that history in a sense is repeating itself. Great story and a new author to follow.

Contrary to a some other reviews I really enjoyed this book.  The book opens with Brooke returning home after 11 years as she received an invitation to her sister Freya’s wedding.  After the death of their parents Brooke and Freya were brought up by their Aunt Alice and her daughter Lizzie.  Brooke left home, racked with guilt, after a party 11 years previous ended up with her boyfriend at the time taking his own life.  Brooke and Freya always had a complicated relationship and this is made worse when Brooke meets Freya’s fiancé it is obvious that they know each other,  Brooke is also concerned over her Aunt as she has early onset of dementia.  The story is told in the past and present.  We learn about the relationship between Aunt Alice and her sister Diana, Brooke and Freya’s mother, the reasons why Alice became their guardians and see how the sibling rivalry has affected the two generations.  This book was a thrilling and gripping read, full of secrets, jealousy and lies and kept me gripped throughout.  A really enjoyable read.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Hands down one of the best thrillers I read this year. This story is as twisted as it gets! I litterly couldn't put it down and read in a day. This story of two sisters is a relationship we can all relate to.  But don't think you know how it ends because it was a shocker for me even a seasoned lover of mystery was surprised! A must read!

My Sister's Husband is sinister, creepy and absolutely gripping read. It has everything you could want, scandal, intrigue. It sucks you in from the first page and doesn't let you go till the end. Edge of your seat read.

A rollercoaster ride was this with the atmosphere of history repeating itself. Author Nicola Marsh’s writing had my heart thumping like a rabbit being stalked.

Every turn of the page filled me with trepidation and excitement about what I would find written on it. The words chosen had the greatest potential of infusing me with frenetic energy to know – What happened next. The Sister’s Husband was one wicked thriller.

This was the story of Brooke and Freya in the present and Alice and Diana in the past. Brooke had left town after a catastrophe and returned only for Freya’s wedding. Alice was raising her sister’s kids along with her own after her death. Their lives were intertwined where coveting what the other one had was the theme.

Having read many books by this talented author, I was glad she came out with something new where secrets and lies went hand in glove in the entire story. Some of the characters went too far in their need to hide the past. But loose lips sink sips. And a word uttered at an inopportune time caused Brooke to start digging way into the past.

I liked how the author managed to ramp up my curiosity to the point where reading this book became my sole focus. I liked the sisters even when I hated their acts. A moment’s desperation could lead to madness.

This was a perfect book for me to lose my head over as it kept the world far away. The secrets between the sisters, their husbands, and the closely guarded lies had me salivating to get to the end. The author dropped one truth every few pages, and there were times I thought I had it figured out. But I was wrong.

Some might think it was too far fetched. But I did know some things go around in a circle. This did too. That was the beauty of it. Would knowing the final secret restore the balance and love between all of them?

I chose this book based on the reviews I read and how good the premise sounded, but after trying a number of times to pick it back up and finish it beyond the 70% mark I just can't unfortunately. I was hoping for a really twisty thriller that I would fly through, but I found myself getting bored even with so much going on, maybe because it actually became all a bit confusing. I didn't like the characters much either as I found the sisters to be annoying.

“It should be easier with siblings. Growing up together, sharing stuff, from clothes to music to excuses to get out of curfew makes the bond strong—it should be unbreakable. But sometimes it’s not. 
Sometimes those we love the most are the ones who hurt us irrevocably and we can never go back. 
Fathers are supposed to be role models. 
Mothers should nurture and encourage.
 But what if your dad doesn’t set a good example and your mom doesn’t care? If the family you have is in name only, patched together by the DNA that bonds you and little else? “

My sister's Husband is a suspense/mystery book full of secrets, Lies, hate, and jealousy among sisters from generation to generation. The story starts where elder sister Brooke receives an invitation to her younger sister Freya’s weeding with an email from Cousin Lizzie, saying her mother (Brooke’s aunt) Alice is ill.

After been disconnect from her family and home for a long time, Brooke is uncertain whether she wants to visit her family and connect with her past. But giving a second chance, she decided to attend her sister’s wedding with the intention of repairing the broken bonds among family members.

Little that she knows that there are full of surprises waiting for her at the other end and the time she spends with family can change her entire life the way she never expected.

This is one of the great mystery/suspense stories I have read in the year 2020 and It was hard to put the book down once I started.
With being an elder sister myself, I felt so connected with Brooke and the relationship with the younger sister. The relationship with sisters can be sweet as it could be but can turn to be toxic at the same time.
The story is in multiple POV’s from Brooke, Freya, and Alice in two different timespans. I really enjoyed the author’s writing style, the characters, and all the twists and turns even though the title seems questioned since there is no Major husband role is playing in the story. 

Overall, This is a well-written story for any mystery reader, and it will keep you hooked from the beginning.
This is my first reading from Nicola Marsh, and I will be definitely picking up more books in the future.
My thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for an ARC of My Sister's Husband in exchange for an honest review.

The blurb reads "He’s as handsome as I remember: broad shoulders, piercing blue eyes, hair the colour of burnt toffee.
But what is he doing at my sister’s house?
And then I see her. My baby sister. She smiles, she tips her hand so I can see the ring. And his arm slides around her waist, pulling her close...."

Firstly, thank you so much Netgalley, Bookouture and Nicola Marsh for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy of My Sister's Husband.
What a fantastic story this was!  Secrets being kept by almost every character, discoveries for the reader on every page.  its a story of two generations of sisters with very dysfunctional relationships with each other,  no sisterly love here but plenty of jealousy and resentment. As Shakespeare said  "oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive"
Thoroughly enjoyable book to read with a twist at the end too.

Omg this is a total you can not stop reading late into the night! I was hooked from the start and every time I would put it down I would have to read just one more chapter! The title says it all and it’s a must read!!

This is one of those books that makes you grateful for your own dysfunctional family, because you know that it could be much worse!  Lots of suspense, lies, secrets, and more to be found in this well written, chilling read!  Well written, original, chilling, thrilling, and shocking   Would have given a 5 star, but there were too many characters, which kept me slightly confused, so had to mark down a bit for that!  Overall, I do highly recommend this deliciously dark read!
