Wow, I loved this book! I’ve read a lot of thriller type books recently and often can start to guess the plot and who is to blame, with this one I had no idea! It kept me gripped all the way through and I couldn’t put it down! Definitely recommend!

The story centers on Sarah as she navigates the aftermath of a tragic incident, which forces her to confront her life and relationships. As secrets begin to emerge, the characters start to question each other’s motivations and actions, revealing how far they are willing to go to protect themselves and their loved ones.
While some plot twists felt predictable, there were enough surprises throughout the narrative to keep me engaged.
Thank you to the publisher/author for the opportunity to read this complimentary advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Wow is all I can say. I did not see the reveal of how and what had all happened. If I was Sarah, I am not sure how or what I would have done. There was so much that happened to her and her family in such a small window of time. I also cannot believe that James never told her that there might be issues coming back to the town he grew up in. James let her deal with everything while keeping to himself. I was totally engrossed in this book and the twists and reveals that happen keep you so interested in this book. I truly enjoyed this thriller.

Told from the wife Sarah's point of view, Sarah has always dreamed of living in the country. This is where the setting of the story takes place. She and her husband, James move with their son Oliver to Sarah's dream location. However, things take a drastic turn when Sarah realizes that the place they have moved to is the same place her husband grew up in. People are whispering. People are staring. Sarah has a bad feeling, and strange things are beginning to unfold. What are the dark secrets everyone knows about James? Can Sarah trust her Husband? Is he truly who he says he is? What other dark secrets could the countryside be hiding? Full of twists and turns, this is a must read in my honest opinion. 4.5 bright shining stars from me! Do not wait, preorder now! This is a must add to any thriller collection.

Sarah has moved back to her husband's hometown with her young son and husband. Sarah is almost immediately confronted with the community's anger towards her husband as they believe he has done something horrible but Sarah has no idea what they are talking about and as she unravels the truth it gets rather dicey. I love how the twists made me feel unsure of what was too come and the one at the end had my jaw dropping to the floor. It's a psychological thriller in a small town community which made it feel more intense and I screamed at my kindle in suprise more than once!

Your Husband's Fault follows Sarah after they move to her husband James’s hometown, only to discover the whole village thinks he got away with murder.

A fantastically chilling domestic thriller with well-drawn characters, a gripping narrative, and twists and turns that will make you want to read just one more chapter... impossible to put down!!!

This book was an incredible read! It was my first time reading this author, and I couldn’t put it down. The story hooked me from the beginning and kept me turning pages until the very end. It follows Sarah and her husband James as they move back to his hometown. A decision he’s unsure about, but Sarah insists it’s the right move for them and their son. However, things start to unravel almost immediately, and Sarah begins to regret their choice before they’ve even finished unpacking. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author!

This was a gripping read from start to finish. It starts off with Sarah and James and their son Oliver. They want to leave the busy city and move to the quaint village James grew up in. It doesn't take long for rumors ton fly and the gossip of James' past life pinning him as a murderer!!! Does Sarah know who she married or has it all been a lie?

This book has it all - suspense, storyline arcs, twists, suspicion and a satisfying ending. I enjoyed it and it was an easy read that took me no time to devour. I haven't read anything of Kerry Wilkinson's works but, after this one, I am enticed to check out more! Thank you for the opportunity to advance read it!

I requested this book having never heard of the author but having just finished it I’ve discovered he’s actually written 50 books already. I’ll definitely be reading more as this was brilliant. Right from the first few pages it had me hooked and I was gripped all the way through. Lots of twists and turns that held my attention. Highly recommend this book.

It's been a while since I've read any of Kerry's books and I'm so glad I picked this one up. I really enjoyed it! Lots of mystery around the husband, loved the small village theme. Sarah did find herself in some sticky situations! I'd recommend this to anyone who fancies ignoring the housework for a day or so and indulging in a good mystery thriller!

Your Husband’s Fault by Kerry Wilkinson
I love how Kerry tells a story. The depth, dimension, and detail are brilliantly put together. I love being so pulled into the story that I don’t have time to try and guess the twist—because I am never right. The illusion is always so well played.

I enjoyed this story. The way things unfolded. The fast pace of the timeline, and the lack of filler. This happened so quickly and yet so slowly. The brilliance of Kerry’s storytelling.

The characters were all so well done. They were fleshed out so beautifully, yet still so mysterious that you keep reading trying to learn more. I loved the deception in the relationships and the complexity of truth.

The representation of a small village and the beauty and hardship that goes together was fantastic. I enjoyed how this house of cards crumpled, and the ambiguity between the lines. It’s always so fascinating when a novel challenges the reader's moral compass.

This was a fantastic read from start to finish. Things were set up so perfectly, and the twist was delivered so smoothly. Be careful who you trust, because you might be sleeping beside a stranger. Katy approved.

what would you do if someone in the community you just moved to asked if you new your husband? ermmm head spin!?
this is what happens to Sarah when she moves to the village James grew up in. James wasnt happy with the move. is there more to that than she could ever have thought? is she about to find out why in devastating ways.
because everyone there seems to think he is responsible for the vanishing of a young girl all those years ago.
Sarah is left untethered and cant believe it. this isnt her husband...hed never would he? when thinks start unveiling the truth could be more than she ever thought possible in all the worst ways.
this book hooked me from the first until the last page. read this book right now!

Another great page turner from Kerry Wilkinson. It grips from the first page and I couldn’t read quick enough to find out whodunnit. Flicking between past and present was crucial to the story. It had twists and turns and it all looked like it was pointing to the husband but would it be him ? I had to keep reading to find out. An excellent book, I highly recommend this book and author.

When James and Sarah move to his childhood hometown Sarah discovers a mystery around a young girl and her husband. Is what almost everyone believes true, was it a mistake to come to live here?
This story has some twists and turns that me kept reading, slowly everything got resolved. It kept me entertained till the last page.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this story.

Kerry Wilkinson has written another propulsive read with Your Husband's Fault! Sarah's move to her husband's childhood village was her dream. That is, until they start telling her that her husband is a murderer. Fast, furious and very twisty!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!
