Welcome to Winters End...

Winters End should have been the perfect place for me and my husband Neil to start again. To leave the terrible secrets and guilt of our past far behind us.

But from the moment we arrived in the small, isolated community, it becomes clear to me that we are not welcome here. That someone wants us to leave…

I’m certain that everyone knows our secrets – knows who we really are. But how can that be?

Perhaps it’s my mind playing tricks on me. Just like before.

I know Neil thinks I'm paranoid. My thoughts spiralling. Again.

If only I had someone else to talk to. Another woman to confide in.

And that’s when I realize something far more terrifying.

I am the only wife at Winters End…and I could be the last…

J. A. Baker was born and brought up in the North East of England and Undercurrent was her debut novel, making it into the Top 100 on Amazon.

When she's not writing and thinking up new and inventive ways of killing off her fictional characters or looking after her young grandchildren, she can be found pottering around her garden with her madcap dog, Theo or in a coffee shop eating cake with her long-suffering husband.

My Thoughts

This is the second book that I have read by J.A. Baker, the first was Local Girl Missing, if you have not read it you need to. In The Last Wife, takes place on an island in the Northern Sea. Fiona and Neil moved to the small island of Winter's End. The move to the island was a chance for the two to start over. There had been some legal issues that got taken care of but it had ostracized Fiona's family.

A beautiful place, a nice cottage, and they can both work from home, but Fiona starts to feel uncomfortable on the island, the residents are not very friendly and there is only one elderly woman on the island, she finds that in the cemetery, all the headstones have a woman's name and the deaths are recent. The people in the town have started to make Fiona suspicious and she is being told by a few people to leave the island, they are not wanted there. Even going to the local pub is not safe. Things start to get creepy when another woman goes missing. What happens after that is a whirlwind. Will Fiona and Neil survive? Who is doing the killing?

I really liked this book and will be reading more by J. A. Baker.

I give the book 5 stars!
