Description
The New Husband is a riveting thriller about the lies we tell ourselves from D. J. Palmer, the author of Saving Meghan.
What makes Simon Fitch so perfect?
-He knows all her favorite foods, music, and movies.
-Her son adores him. He was there when she needed him most.
-He anticipates her every need.
-He would never betray her like her first husband.
The perfect husband. He checks all the boxes.
The question is, why?
Nina Garrity learned the hard way that her missing husband, Glen, had been leading a double life with another woman. But with Glen gone—presumably drowned while fishing on his boat—she couldn't confront him about the affair or find closure to the life he blew apart.
Now, a year and a half later, Nina has found love again and hopes she can put her shattered world back together. Simon, a widower still grieving the death of his first wife, thinks he has found his dream girl in Nina, and his charm and affections help break through to a heart hardened by betrayal. Nina's teenage son, Connor, embraces Simon as the father he wishes his dad could have been, while her friends see a different side to him, and they aren't afraid to use the word obsession.
Nina works hard to bridge the divide that’s come between her daughter and Simon. She wants so badly to believe her life is finally getting back on track, but she’ll soon discover that the greatest danger to herself and her children are the lies people tell themselves.

Wow, this book was a "can't put it down until it's finished" kind of book. I read and review a lot of books and there are a lot of great authors out there. DJ Palmer is a truly great author who delivers a suspenseful book that will keep you up all night turning the pages!
This is a great look into the mind of a sociopath who is a master at gaslighting and playing with people's minds and emotions. The author does a fabulous job of showing how Simon expertly manipulates everyone in the book so cleverly that no one sees it coming. Well, except for Maggie, who is Nina's teenage daughter.
This is a book you won't regret reading! Hold onto your seats, it's about to get bumpy!

Another edge of your seat thriller by D.J. Palmer. Fast paced plot, great characters and unexpected twists made this a page turner that I kept reading late into the night. Highly recommended
Carol D, Reviewer
This is certainly one of the best books I have read this year! It is a thriller, unputdownable, terrifying, keeps you on the edge of your seat and will keep you up way past your bedtime reading. Nina’s husband, Glen, has disappeared, thought to have drowned while out fishing. She also learns that Glen had an affair and had lost his job. Nina meets and becomes close to Simon and eventually they move in together. Nina’s son, Connor likes Simon and they get on well. But Nina’s daughter Maggie despises Simon. I thought I had it all worked out, who the bad guy was and what was going to happen next. From this point the story became a nightmare of terror with twists I never saw coming.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
