Daniel has done it again! Fully ready for the twists and turns but NOT all of them. There were still shocks to be had. This was fast paced and all the good things that quick suspense should deliver. Can't wait until everyone adds this to their TBR!

The Husband
by Daniel Hurst
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Oh another gripping thriller by Daniel Hurst. Love his style of writing and this book in particular tells us a side of the story from a serial killers point of view!

Defo another cracking read

Thank you 🤩

I have read other Daniel Hurst novels and was excited to have the opportunity to read this one! I was not disappointed and couldn’t put this one down

Jenny and Lachlan have two children, William and Bonnie. Bonnie is 17 and preparing to depart for university in the near future, and William, being younger has more studies to go before he graduates .
They are a lovely family living in the United Kingdom,.
There are just a couple of secrets that might cause a problem. But I too will not divulge them. Besides, nobody's perfect, and isn't that what loving families are for? Well, we can't swear for anybody but ourselves, right?
Daniel Hurst is quite the storyteller and has a knack for shifting perfectly normal stories to the extraordinary, thus keeping us immersed in his books throughout the night. There is lots of action .
This book is exciting, clever and extremely well done. I was reading so fast, the words were flying off the pages! I have always liked Daniel Hurst's books and this one is the cream of the crop for me.
Just read it.

Thank you to the author and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of this book.All opinions are my own.

This was a fun and fast read. I read it all in one day, and had a good time. It wasn't a mind blowing twisted thriller but still so fast-paced and entertaining.

I dont think Daniel Hurst could do any wrong in my mind . He keeps putting out books that are getting better and better. I find his writing to be addicting and am not able to put down his books. SO good.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

Daniel Hurst's "The Husband" is a masterful exploration of the insidious nature of doubt. The story unfolds like a slow-burning fuse, each chapter igniting a fresh wave of unease within the reader.

Hurst masterfully avoids the clichés of the genre. Instead of relying on cheap jump scares or predictable plot twists, he meticulously constructs an atmosphere of creeping dread. The protagonist, a seemingly ordinary man, becomes increasingly unmoored.

This is a descent into the protagonist's own fractured psyche. Hurst brilliantly captures the insidious way paranoia can warp perception, turning everyday occurrences into sinister clues. The reader is forced to question their own assumptions, constantly second-guessing the reliability of the narrator's perspective.

"The Husband" is a chilling reminder that the most terrifying monsters often lurk within our own minds. It's a book that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page, leaving you questioning the very foundations of trust and reality.

Loved it! I'm a huge fan of Daniel Hurst, and this was another great one. Very suspenseful! I thought i had it figured out, but of course I didnt.

I loved it! Daniel Hurst reminds me a lot of Freida McFadden in the best way and he is becoming an auto buy author for sure!

This was a fast paced, easy thriller. This would be great for a thrilling beach read. The story moves along quickly and the author presents many different character angles.

I’ve read many books by this author and always enjoyed them. They are fast paced and want to keep you reading! They are hard to put down because you really want to find out what’s going to happen!

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️




✨ Scotland. Predictable ending. Suspense.
Family drama.


✨ Jenny has a lovely home, 2 kids and happy married when suddenly a documentary on the telly appears and it was a revelation of what her husband is.
Going to a village in Scotland to find the truth and the lies.
Absolutely amazing writing and I know it will be.
The ending was just abrupt and I felt like I needed more but not to the extend that this need to have a part 2.
Definitely worth the read and no boring bits! Everything is written well:)


Thankyou @bookouture for the opportunity to read this book for a honest review.

This was spectacular. I just love this author and always has the best books ever!
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this

The Husband by Daniel Hurst was another excellent book. I just love this author's way of writing. He is an author that never disappoints. Once you start to read any of his books you are pulled in and hooked from the beginning till the very end, this book was no different............I loved it. The Husband was a very fast-paced, action-packed book and it, and full of great twists and turns throughout that will have you wanting to read more of this book and hard to put it down! The 2 main characters Lachlan and Jenny were excellent.

Another 5 star book from Daniel and I highly recommend it

I am looking forward to Daniels next book..........

Big Thank you by NetGalley and especially Bookouture for my ARC.

The Husband is another unputdownable psychological thriller by Daniel Hurst. Hurst is one of my go to authors and every time he has a new book out I don’t even need to read the book description as I know it’ll be a superb read. Well this was certainly the case with The Husband. Right from the prologue I was utterly gripped and before I knew it I was halfway through this book. This was a fast paced read and my heart was in my mouth at times. Brilliant beginning and an excellent ending which I wasn’t expecting. This was a book I read in one sitting as I was so hooked on the story.

As someone who frequently watches true crime and listens to true crime podcasts, I absolutely loved this one!! It was very fast paced and hard to put down. The plot was brilliant!

The husband is a pull you in story.

It leaves you wondering the outcome.
Although the storyline dragged a little
It was still capturing and left you wanting more.

A murder documentary had a family intrigued and wanting to explore.
The husband has a secret, but does the family take it to far?
Does the husband take it to far?

Overall a fairly good read!

I enjoy Hurst’s thrillers and series. This particular book was a bit slow and didn’t have the action and twists compared to his other books that I super liked. I like Hurst’s sense of humor in his stories and this could have had some of his British humor. Overall, I really enjoy this author, but this particular book wasn’t my favorite compared to his others.

Jenny wants to know more about her husband and where he grew up, especially now the little village is featured in a documentary.

But Lachlan wants to keep his past buried, he's worked so hard to keep his secret.

But when an opportunity arises, Jenny jumps at the chance for a final family vacation. But while Jenny and the children are excited, especially their seventeen-year-old daughter, Lachlan is far from pleased, and this may just be the end.

Hurst gives us a fast-paced narrative, split between two main characters, with. a storyline you won't see coming.

This author knows how to draw us in, keep us engaged and leave us with our jaw hanging open and eyes wide in shock. This is definitely another that had me guessing at every twist.
One to highly recommend for any thriller fan; you will not be disappointed.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

The Husband by Daniel Hurst is a solid, page-turning psychological thriller, just what I’ve come to expect from this author. His writing style is easy to follow, and the story is engaging, making it a definite page-turner. The dual POV from Jenny and Lachlan adds depth to the narrative, allowing readers to understand both sides of the story, which really ramps up the tension.

That said, there are moments where the plot feels a little implausible, and I found myself questioning the credibility of certain events. While it's easy to get caught up in the twists, some of the actions and decisions made by the characters felt far-fetched, and I couldn’t help but nitpick.

Despite these issues, the book does what it’s meant to do—entertain. It’s perfect for anyone looking for an engaging, suspense-filled escape. Overall, while not without its flaws, it’s an enjoyable thriller that will keep you hooked.
