The Hidden Wife by Amanda Reynolds was published in paperback on 25 July 2019 by Wildfire. I'm delighted to share my thoughts about the book here today as part of the #RandomThingsTours Blog Tour.
I was absolutely captivated by the Hidden Wife from page one. It has everything that I want from a psychological thriller; there's the big house setting, the mysterious disappeared wife and the creepy husband.
I was totally committed to the character of Seren; the young newspaper journalist who is totally bored at work, until the day she gets an interview with Max Blake. Blake is not only a successful and famous author, he's also well known because his beautiful, younger wife Julia disappeared some months ago.
Max is a brilliantly imagined character; he's become reclusive, but is he reliable? I absolutely love a questionable character and the author shows great skill when creating the most fabulous of cast here.
Touching on more serious issues at times, and questioning the honesty of the characters at all times, The Hidden Wife is at times quite chilling and dark; there's an atmosphere of sharp tension that never quite leaves the reader.
Absorbing and totally gripping, the twists and turns keep on coming. It's a breathless read and recommended by me.
