The Woman in My Home by Diana Wilkinson Review! #TheWomanInMyHome #NetGalley

 

It was all meant to be so easy. Payback with a difference.

I’d stay in Ballyholme, Northern Ireland, to decide whether to forgive my cheating husband, Ryan. Ciara, my new best friend, would stay in our London home, free of charge, until I made up my mind.

The ruse certainly had its plus points: Ciara’s unexpected appearance would freak Ryan out, and my disappearance should make him regret his roving eye.

But now I learn Ciara has evidence … evidence that my husband has committed murder. And she’s no longer answering my texts and calls. Is it some sort of blackmail plot? More worrying, if Ryan is indeed a killer, could he strike again?

Diana Wilkinson graduated from Durham University with a degree in geography, then after a short spell in teaching, spent most of her working life in the business of tennis development.
A former Irish international player, Diana finally stepped off the tennis court to become a full-time writer.
The inspiration for much of her work has come from the ladies she coached over the years and from confidences share over coffee.
4 Riverside Close is Diana's first crime novel, published by Bloodhound Books on 30th March 2020.
You Are Mine, her second thriller, is due for release on 1st June 2020.
Born and bred in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the height of the civil unrest, she now lives in Hertfordshire, England, with her husband's son. 

My Thoughts

The story starts out with a person male/female, at this point we don't know, burying something. 

Flo thought that she had the life she wanted, a good home, a job, and a wonderful husband. But that is all shattered when she finds out her husband, Ryan, cheated on her with a neighbor. She befriends Ciara who at one point shows Flo a few videos of her husband burying a body. 

So now not only has her husband cheated on her but is he a murderer and who did he kill? Flo decides to leave for a while, goes to Ireland, and rents a cottage, a break until she can figure out what she wants for the rest of her life, stay married or move on.

In the meantime, she had given permission for Ciarra to stay in her home for a while with her husband. Things don't really go as planned as Ciarra has her own agenda, she wants Ryan, period. You know what they say about karma.

This is another of those psychological thrillers that have a definite twist at the end. Loved it, took a bit for me to get into, but once I did I kept turning the pages! Do you like psychological thrillers, then add this one to the TBR stack you have somewhere! Worth a read!

5 stars!
