So often you see the detective kicked off cases when they are too involved. At which stage they have to work it another way or sit frustrated on the outside. But this, this book our detective is on the case. And manages to stay on it. And she needs to because the woman in cuffs for the.murder of her husbands needs to answer to our detective. Becuase this woman in cuffs is having an affair with our detectives husband. Dun dun duuuuun...
I really enjoyed the premise of this book. I was constantly trying to figure out the ending or twisty bits. Trying to figure out who was innocent as it never quite seemed what it seemed lol.
A good thriller with an great and original plot with some Intriguing characters

"My Husband’s Mistress" by Willow Rose is a slow moving 4-star read! There are two husbands and two wives—one is a police detective assigned to solve the murder, one is a mistress accused of the crime, one is a cheating husband, and one is the victim.

This is a slow burn, with the author’s writing being extremely detailed and, at times, overly wordy. The beginning was the toughest part, and I almost stopped reading, but I’m glad I stuck with it. While the story doesn’t have much action, it is well-executed, and I enjoyed the twists along the way. The final twist truly saved the book for me—I did not see that coming!

This was my first read by Willow Rose, but I plan to give her another chance. Now, I just need to decide which of her series to try next!

Thanks to Bookouture, Willow Rose, and NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

Wow! Willow Rose is a masterful writer and once again, she made me question everything I read, kept me hooked throughout and hit me with an ending that blew my mind!

This is told from the POVs of Darcy and Charlotte. Darcy is the detective investigating the murder of Charlotte's husband, a crime in which she is the main suspect. When the two women meet in the interview room at the police station, Darcy is shocked. She recognises Charlotte as the woman her own husband is having an affair with. Darcy knows that if anyone discovers this link, she will be taken off the case.

This fast-paced plot is packed with twists, lies and betrayals. Two unreliable yet highly convincing narrators kept me guessing and every time I thought I had them sussed, they threw me an unexpected curveball. Absolutely brilliant!

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Willow Rose and Bookouture, for an ARC in return for an honest review.

This book was largely promising as you get into the dark secrets of the cheated wife (who is also a police officer) confronted to her enemy directly in the midst of the investigation of the murder of her enemy's husband. It started really well until the point where I figured out where it was going, but maybe that's just because I read too much thrillers. Otherwise it was a pleasant book with some nice twists and I would recommend it!

The beginning of My Husband's Mistress has a slow start, and took what felt like forever to build up, and also seemed to parallel The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose but in a reverse way...

Darcey White knowing and working to investigate the death of Charlotte's husband (Charlotte being her her husband's mistress) seemed unbelievable and should have left her immediately off the case... She had to find out of course who killed him? The Mistress? Or her own husband? There was good depth, and was really good and stayed that way once you reached about 1/4 of the way through the book but was a bit of a head scratcher about the legality of it all. But I will say I was shocked at the ending and I kept reading, I finished it in 7 hrs after trudging through the beginning.

Detective Darcey White is called to investigate a brutal murder and quickly realizes the case hits far too close to home—the victim is her husband’s mistress’s husband. As the case unfolds, suspicion starts turning toward her, and with her career and freedom on the line, she must race to uncover the truth. But in a world where betrayal runs deep, the truth might be more than anyone ever imagined.

This book had me hooked from start to finish! The plot was super intriguing, and I loved the detective vibes—Willow Rose knows how to write a suspenseful thriller. With over 70 books under her belt, it’s no surprise she kept me anxiously flipping pages, desperate to see how Darcey would redeem herself. The twist was satisfying, and I flew through the book in about 5.5 hours because I had to know the ending! A solid, decently paced read that kept me engaged. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.75 rounded up!)

Detective Darcey White has a problem - her husband is cheating on her. It's hard for her to decide what to do about that problem. Divorce? Keep drinking too much? Pretend it didn't happen? All she knows is when her husband's mistress is accused of killing her husband, Darcey ignores the sensible path and stays on the case. What will she find? Is the mistress guilty or is her own husband guilty? Maybe it's someone else entirely?

Good book, I was interested in the characters, their actions, and the outcome. I did want Darcey to be a little more sensible, but that added to the plot and the twist. Enjoyable read.

My Husband's Mistress is my first read by Willow Rose and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Packed with family drama and lots of action, it kept me on the edge of my seat.

Detective Darcey White is the lead detective on a recent murder case. When she arrives at the scene, she recognizes the victim's widow as her husband's mistress. Not sure what the two of them are playing at, she holds her cards close as she continues the investigation. What ensues is a delicious cat and mouse game, but who is chasing who?

This was such a fun, twisty read full of surprises. I found all the characters to be devious and narcissistic which added to the thrill. The chapters are short and quick and it's told through multiple perspectives. This is a must read for suspense lovers.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy

This is one of those books that keeps you so captivated because the author makes sure you question everything and everybody! Is Charlotte a victim ? Did she murder her husband? Did Bradley in a rage murder his mistress Charlotte 's husband? Caught up in figuring this out is Darcy the wife and Detective on this case. You will be flipping thru the pages to find out!! Really good book. It was easy read and definitely kept me on my toes questioning everything! Great book!

This book had me hooked from the start. I absolutely loved the suspense and unexpected twists. The author's writing was phenomenal and easy to keep reading. I am so happy that I got the chance to enjoy this thrilling novel!

A fantastic read that I couldn't put down i read it in a couple of hours. The twists kept me guessing all the way through and it was full of suspense. I would definitely recommend

Awww I wanted to love this book as I adore the Billie Ann series but I sadly found this one is boring. I felt no connection to the characters. It's poor me. Dracey should have told her LT that she knew the victim's wife because her husband had an affair. I wanted to love this book, to read it to the end but I couldn't.

Disappointing.

I was intrigued from the first page and didn't see the plot twist coming at all. Suspenseful and thrilling!

Wow that was a wild one. I had a feeling about some of the stuff as it just didn't add up. However I never realized exactly how everything happened until it was stated in the book. This story was amazing I loved every minute of it. The mystery thriller was definitely there and I loved the ending and how it all turned out.

When I requested My Husband's Mistress, I wasn't expecting to like it so much. I don't usually read "detective thrillers" so I didn't know what to expect. I absolutely loved the chatacter of DC Darcy White! the story reminded me a lot of a good, classic thriller. I'd love to read more from this author based on this novel. Outstanding writing.

When DC Darcy White is called to a murder investigation she has no idea how things will change her life.

The suspect is her husbands mistress and the mistress is blaming her lover..

This is definitely a WOW read... there are twists drama and more twists..

This is an exciting and engaging read and even though this genre is common the author has put an intriguing and different take. It plays out like real life and I loved this..

The characters are amazing, the plot is deep and a lttle dark and the writing is descriptive..

I loved this book. It was twisty and even though I thought I figured out the ending, I had only half figured it out so there was still a twist mixed in with what I though was going to happen.

I want to give a big shout-out to the author for crafting such an intriguing novel. The plot is well-structured and truly unpredictable, which I always appreciate in a story.

However, a few aspects made me think, "This might not be for me." One of the main issues was the unnecessary descriptive texts, especially at the novel's beginning. It's too long and doesn't hold my attention, and I struggled to stay engaged. Unfortunately, I ended up skimming a lot just to push through.
Another point is that despite this having a good plot, the thrill was somewhat deflated, especially at the end. I reckon it would be great if they added little details and descriptions of the time of the last arrest in the hotel instead of the beginning. It would give the reader the suspense they needed.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the good ride. The plot and twists somehow gave me the "oh" and "ah" reactions. It's definitely a ride worth taking, especially for those who appreciate slow-burning novels. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good plot, even if the pacing takes a while to pick up.

I adored this book so much! I didn’t want it to end!

DC Darcy white has been called to a murder case.. the only problem is.. it’s her husbands mistress’s husband that has been murdered and her husband’s mistress is accusing -Darcey’s husband of murder.
Determined to get the bottom of what’s happened Darcey goes all out putting everything on the line to get justice.
But how much will it cost her?

This is the first book iv read by this author, but it won’t be the last. It kept me gripped and reading until late because I just had to know how it ended. Fast paced & thrilling, everything I love about a thriller book.

I haven’t rated many books 5 ✨ this year yet but this is definitely a 5✨ for me!
Thank you so much for approving me to read this arc!

This book is a show stopper - one I would give to my friends. I would buy multiple copies of this book for people! After reading plenty of thrillers it takes a lot these days for me to not work out the ending but this one totally got me. Overall really clever, well written and one I will be recommending.
