Back of the Book
An unputdownable psychological thriller with a shocking ending from the author of UK #1 The Doctor’s Wife
My husband made a terrible mistake. Now our children are missing…
This should be the trip of a lifetime – a week in New York with my family. As we stroll along the Hudson River, drinking coffee in the sunshine, anyone would think we’re the perfect family. But the truth is far more complicated.
I’ve been on edge the whole time because fifteen years ago when we were living in this city my husband Jack did something that ripped our lives apart. I swore I would never come back here, but Jack insisted.
One afternoon, in the blur of a crowd, I lose sight of my son. I can’t find him anywhere. Frantic, I call my husband. But what he tells me next shakes me to the core…
My daughter’s gone missing too.
I end the conversation, my whole body shaking with fear. As I’m desperately searching for my children, the phone rings – it’s an anonymous number.
The hard voice at the other end gives me an ultimatum: kill my husband or my children will die.
The clock is ticking. Can I save my family in time?
Book Review
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Her Husband’s Mistake is an unputdownable psychological thriller that had me hooked from the very beginning. The story follows a family’s seemingly perfect vacation in New York, which quickly turns into a nightmare when both children go missing. The tension is palpable as the protagonist’s past collides with the present, unravelling secrets and pushing her to the edge.
Fifteen years ago, Jack’s mistake tore their lives apart, and now, back in the city where it all began, the past resurfaces with a vengeance. The stakes couldn’t be higher when the protagonist receives a chilling phone call demanding the ultimate sacrifice: kill her husband or lose her children.
The pacing is relentless, and the plot twists keep you guessing. The characters are well-developed, and the emotional turmoil feels real and intense. However, while the journey is thrilling and suspenseful, I found the ending to be lacklustre. It didn’t deliver the powerful conclusion I was hoping for, leaving me wishing for a bit more resolution.
Overall, Her Husband’s Mistake is a captivating read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers with high stakes and surprising twists, this book is definitely for you.
