A bite sized chunk of intrigue.

I raced through this opening edition in one go. The prologue immediately piqued my interest. Exceedingly well written, the tension leapt off the page, almost making me shiver as I hurtled towards the conclusion of Part One.
The innovative method of releasing the Ebooks in separate sections is genius. It ends with a cliff hanger in a way that only the very best TV dramas do, leaving me open mouthed on the edge of my seat!

I impatiently and eagerly await Part Two!

Thank you so much to the Publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC. Highly recommended.

'We all had secrets. We all told lies.' Michael and Ellie appear to have a perfect life. But something went terribly wrong in the past, and cracks are appearing in their once rock-solid marriage. Throw close friend Liam into the equation, add a liberal dose of paranoia – justified or not, we aren't sure – and you have all the ingredients for a tense tale easily devoured in one sitting. The author's style is simple but extremely effective, drip feeding us with information that makes us question what happened and where it will lead. A short book, this is part one in a series of four. I will be anxiously awaiting the release of the next one.

A mysterious storyline of a couple damaged by something in their past, a real page turner. I couldn't wait to see what happened to them. It contained strong characters, with hidden secrets and a past that contained hurt. I can't wait for book 2. Really enjoyed it.

Thank you to Netgalley and to M L Roberts for a copy of this book. I voluntarily read it and gave an unbiased opinion.

Michael and Ellie seem to have the perfect life on paper, but soon it becomes apparent that all is not as it appears to be. A plot that had me turning pages and curious to find out what the mystery surrounding the events in the past could be. My mind often went on overdrive and I played various scenarios in my head about what the big mystery could be.

It’s been a while since I’d read a book series that spans several titles so eagerly awaiting book number two to see what happens next! Loved the author’s style and the level of intrigue had me hooked.

Wow! What an intense first part to The Wife. Was hooked from the moment I started reading, as I was drawn into the lives of the characters. So much intrigue and suspense. And what a cliff-hanger! Can't wait for part 2 to find out more!

Loved the suspense of this one! Michael and Ellie are the "perfect" couple but something ominous looms in the past that prevents them from moving forward. Ellie is suspicious and paranoid but doesn't want to confront her husband as she believes he is lying and keeping secrets from her. I wasn't prepared for the cliffhanger ending even though I knew it was a series. Now I'm on the edge of my seat awaiting book 2!
