My first experience of this author, and I thought this was a fantastic, cosy and thoroughly fun read - looking forward to the next titles!

5 year old Christine is rescued from a river and has no memory how she ended up there. Over two decades later, Christine struggles with panic attacks and is unsettled by the arrival of Jessica in her advertising agency. She starts to see a hypnotherapist and begins to remember the day by the river, but what is the connection to Jessica...?
After The Wedding is a psychological thriller set in Ireland.
Christine has misgivings about new employee Jessica and especially doesn't trust her around her husband Richard. Their business takes a down turn and their circumstances change, bringing Richard and Jessica together and pushing Christine away. Christine begins to suffer panic attacks and is sure that Jessica has some link to the repressed memories of the river incident.
I felt quite emotional for Christine as she comes to terms with the past and tries to cling on to her marriage. She is easy to like and I was frustrated with Richard for not supporting her as she relives her trauma. I liked the mystery of the link between Christine and Jessica. The author cleverly puts us on Christine's side as she doubts her husband and distrusts Jessica. Combined with this, we see how Christine is affected by the past and the memories that are finally coming back.
Towards the middle of the book, the book skips ahead 15 months and we see Jessica in a different situation which changes direction of the book completely as we wonder what developments have happened in the meantime. I thought this was a great twist to change the momentum of the plot and offer an alternative perspective on events.
After The Wedding is an enjoyable psychological thriller and I liked the mystery about the past.

A brilliant psychological read
It draws you in and you won’t want to put this book down
Thanks NetGalley

Brilliant thriller what a thrilling fast paced edge of your seat read it kept guessing right until the end this is definitely worth a read

This is a thriller that I just couldn’t put down. The story was told from multiple POVs. The suspense was good with plenty of twists. A solid thriller

this was pretty boring and i had a tough time getting into it despite being interested in the premise. unfortunate!

It starts off slow but really picks up the pace. There's a lot to keep the tension and intrigue high until the end.

A bit confusing because there's so many names to keep track of, otherwise we'll written. Started off slow but worth reading. A childhood memory that resurfaces in adulthood. The memory is triggered when Christine and Richard, who are married, run an advertising agency. Jessica is an assistant there at the company. Christine cannot understand why Jessica’s presence alarms her so much so until she goes under hypnosis at her therapy appointment. Jessica sets her sights on Richard. Jessica’s father comes into the picture and Christine and Jessica are on course to spiral in ways that neither of them could see coming. Christine starts to realize her husband Richard is not as committed to her as she thinks. When things start Togo down and he makes a mistake with consequences that he realizes he cannot go back from. Is Jessica’s father may not be everything he seems. Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy.

*Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for my honest review*

Slow burn thriller that I found hard to guess who the villain was! All in all, a good book!

I really loved this book in a new to my series and author. I can't wait to read the next one. The characters and location really add to the plot. This book keeps you guessing until the end

This book has lots of in this book. When Jessica joins Christine and her husbands business Christine suspects Jessica is trying to come between them. Christine also has events from her past she is having a face. This book has lots of twists and turns, a great read.

That didn’t appeal much to me. Such a letdown.

Thanks to Netgalley! Hoping for a better read next time!

3 for neutral, was unable to access my netgalley account for months, until today. Because of this, I was unable to see which books I needed to read. I apologize for the inconvenience and hopefully will not have any more issues in future.

I really enjoyed this book. It was gripping from the very start and captured me until the very end. Would definitely recommend.

This was such a twisty tale that I couldnt put down. It actually started off slow but then it becomes clear. It is told by many POVs and has a past and present timeline. What an ending loved it.

What a sizzling mystery this book was! There was so much going on that I could not believe that she was able to put it together the way that she did. She really pulled off a great mystery here.

Would say 3.5 stars at a push. Found it very slow till about half way through and even after that I would say it held me but not to the point(as with some books) you don't want to put it down and keep reading that one more chapter.

I really wanted to love this book. It had so much potential, an interesting premise, and it felt like things were happening but it also came off as so underwhelming. It almost felt like the author tried to include a bunch of different elements to make the plot more enticing, but it was overdone, unfortunately.

Thanks netgalley for allowing me to read this great story which I really enjoyed.
Christine was a flower girl at a wedding, after the wedding she somehow was thrown into water by an unknown man and then pulled out by a boy.
Her memory was not great about the incident but she knew that she had been thrown into the water.
She then got married and had a successful business with her husband, until someone came to work with her that triggered something in her memory, and that is when her life was in danger.
Good story fully recommend it.

This was a wonderful suspense, with lots of twists. In my opinion, a great thriller.

There were many aspects of the book that made this read very enjoyable. Firstly, loved the multiple POVs. Secondly, loved the slow burning, suspense building element of the book.

However, I did find the multiple parts that the book was split into, hard to follow.
