Description
'Sophie Beckett?' I smile sweetly. 'I'm your daughter's new tutor. May I come in?' My heart thunders in my chest. Sophie has no idea who I really am, and I need it to stay that way. Otherwise, I might not leave this house alive...
When I first meet Sophie, she seems like any normal loving mother, trying desperately to help her teenage daughter. That's where I come in. The perfect tutor to get Katie's life back on track.
I connect instantly with Katie, and Sophie's thoughtful husband Scott. But Sophie's dark eyes are full of jealousy when I talk to Scott or share a smile with Katie. I know I'm helping her daughter, whatever she thinks.
But when I find my clothes strewn everywhere, it's clear Sophie has searched my room. Does she know the truth about why I'm here?
Then Scott tells me how his ex-wife died. My stomach twists.
Whatever Sophie does, I can't leave now. Katie needs me more than ever. And I will do anything to protect her.
Because Sophie might be keeping secrets, but so am I. When I'm done in her beautiful home, somebody's life will be over. I know it won't be mine...
A totally addictive and pulse-pounding psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. Prepare to be gripped until the final, jaw-dropping revelation! Perfect for anyone who loves The Housemaid, The Woman in the Window, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and J M Dalgliesh for the eAudio of Homewrecker.
Narrated by Alison Campbell, Tamsin Kennard
This is a dual POV psychological thriller of a family who has a school age teen, Katie who needs to be homeschooled. Deena hires a tutor who seems to gel on with Katie immediately as well as Sophie's Husband, Scott. First half of the book is mainly from Sophie's POV, which you get a very good sense of who she is and how she is perceiving this new women in the household. Things are not as they seem though and even with the foreshadowing, the twists and the finale are worth the time reading. The other POV is from Deena. Again, Dalgliesh builds some great characteristics and you get a very good sense who Deena is. Or do you?
Really enjoyed this medium paced, well written thriller. As always, I really enjoy listening to both Tasmin Kennard and Alison Campbell as narrators. They have superb voices for these type of thriller
4 stars
