A gripping book. It had me hooked from beginning to end. Thank you to both the publishers and NetGalley for gifting me that book.

A good read, which kept my attention throughout. I would recommend this as a good holiday reading book. Very enjoyable.

A gripping debut psychological thriller about the dark secrets in a perfect marriage. For fans of Shari Lapena.

Wow, couldn't put this book down! Loved the twist - very clever. Gripping and riveting and I can't wait to read more from the author.

I am really sorry for the delay in reviewing this book but I have only just read it and oh wow what a read.
Hooked me from the start and why didn't I read this sooner. I now need to read more by this author.
This is a great psychological thriller, totally captivating, twisted, sinister everything I want from a book.
Highly recommended.

This is the authors debut novel and is a great psychological thriller.
This book is twisty, sinister., captivating and gripping.
A great read

Such a messed up story and marriage! It kept me guessing at all key points and I enjoyed the book from start to finish. Recommended.

Woah! What did I just read?! Talk about a wild ride of twists, turns, secrets, and betrayals. I’m obsessed with this author now. Highly highly recommend!

With thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the arc, which I have enjoyed reading.
This is a book full of twists and turns and is a very clever psychological thriller right up to the end of the book. Tom and Charlotte are married, yet Charlotte has an affair with Daniel, who subsequently disappears. This is an extremely clever and complex storyline and is full of twists and turns the more you read the book.
Highly recommended.

I liked this book, but I cant honestly say I LOVED it. I don't want to give it a full review because there were parts I skipped over and a review from me wouldn't be fair. Im not opposed to trying another book from the author in the future, but this one just wasn't for me. I won't be reviewing it anywhere else but here.

Well written.
Interesting from the start and not boring.
I loved the storyline and characters.
I always say 'trust no one'.
Be careful who you're in bed with.

I liked it and hope to read more by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review, all opinions are my own.

WOW! I went to bed early last night to start reading THE STRANGER IN OUR BED...and stayed up until 3.30am to finish it! It's the first time I can actually remember reading a book in one complete sitting! Initially, I had planned to read till around midnight...but nope, by then I was completely hooked and nothing would stop me till I completed it. It was an absolute rollercoaster from start to finish.

Charlotte met Tom when they were both studying corporate law at Oxford and upon graduating the couple married in a lavish wedding at the family manor in Surrey. Tom moved into the family company, Carlisle Corp, while Charlotte's own law degree was left on the shelf, spending her days lunching and organising charity events.

Charlotte thought she had married the man of her dreams but twelve years later she is left feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. Tom and his mother control everything she does down to the tiniest detail and she has little freedom. But why? She has everything she could ever need, they shop at Harrod's, they have a huge London apartment, a country estate in Surrey and a chauffeur driven limo - what else could she possibly wish for? Except happiness.

And then she meets Ewan.

Two chance meetings with him lead to coffee...then dinner...and then an all consuming affair. With Ewan, Charlotte can be herself. He makes her happy and with him she feels loved. She falls desperately in love with him and after months of sneaking around, tells Tom that she is leaving him. But when she arrives at their arranged meeting place the following morning, Ewan is not there. She waits for hours in the rain and he fails to show. She calls him but his number has been disconnected. She goes to the flat they used to meet at, but only a woman answers the door claiming that she is the only one living there. She returns to their meeting place and waits...but Ewan never shows.

And then a black limo draws up alongside her. Tom.

Despite her infidelity, Tom takes Charlotte back and together they work on rekindling their marriage. For the first several weeks, Charlotte is devastated to be duped by Ewan even moreso after Tom shows her a Facebook page outlining "Catfishing" where other women have been duped by similar men into leaving their husbands and the lives behind only to be left realising that none of it was real. How could she be so stupid? Ewan had really played her. She had believed him. She had loved him. And now he had vanished...as if he had never existed.

Then Charlotte falls pregnant and baby Melody is born...and everything finally seems to be falling into place. But after a passing remark by their nanny Tina about how much Melody resembles Charlotte, Tom is furious and demands a paternity test. He may have taken her back, but his anger was evident. And there was something about Tom that unsettled her.

Charlotte finds an unlikely ally in her mother-in-law who, while championing their reunion, confides that she would never let anything happen to her. What does Isadora know? She always claimed that everything she did was for Tom. So is she hiding something else?

And then Charlotte discovers an email from Ewan on her husband's laptop and a file in his desk drawer on the two of them. What does this mean? Just how much does Tom know about Ewan? Or more to the point, how much does she know about Tom?

Based on a true story, THE STRANGER IN OUR BED is a dark and twisted domestic thriller about one of the most toxic relationships I have ever read. And a scary example of gaslighting that you would hope it will never happen to you. It is well crafted and brilliantly told and while I did predict most of it, I didn't see that final reveal coming until the very end. However, it was an incredibly satisfying end to one of the best domestic thrillers I have come across.

A tale so twisted it is disturbing, THE STRANGER IN OUR BED is an addictive fast paced thriller that would make Hitchcock proud. Even down to the gothic manor of the Carlisle country estate in Surrey. And the more you read, the darker it gets.

An outstanding debut thriller from Samantha Lee Howe that is by far one of the best domestic thrillers I have come across.

I would like to thank #SamanthaLeeHowe, #NetGalley and #HarperCollinsUK and #OneMoreChapter for an ARC of #TheStrangerInOurBedin exchange for an honest review.

Was it me or was it the book?💁🏻‍♀️ I really wanted to love this one. The premise sounded amazing! I was so excited to read it. But it just never took off for me.

All the characters were unlikable right from the start. So with no one to root for I was left with little hope of connecting to this read.

There are lots of amazing reviews for this book, so please don’t let my review sway you.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK One More Chapter

This was an easy to read thriller thaylt kept my attention all the way through! Lots of twists and surprises I didn't see coming. Very good, would recommend!

I really enjoyed The Stranger in Our Bed, I felt it was a great read I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author and will certainly not be my last. A superb book that hooked me in from the first few pages to the last page.

One Wild and Crazy Thriller!

Marriage it's never what it's cracked up to be!

Charlotte is married to Tom when she does think unthinkable and has an affair with Ewan and gets swept away in it. Unfortunately for Charlotte her husband Tom discovers the affair and is less than thrilled. When Ewan disappears, Charlotte wonders if he simply ghosted her or if something sinister has occurred and Tom is responsible. Could it be?

This book begs the question: Do you ever know anyone as well as you think you know them?

Well done, Samantha Lee Howe!

Thank you to Harper Collins UK and to Samantha Lee Howe for the arc.

What an amazing, addictive read, The Stranger in our Bed was an absolute page turner with an amazing ending!

This domestic thriller will have you up late as it grips you as you read about Charlotte’s and Tom’s married life. It is a fast paced book that has you rooting for Charlotte. Thank you to Harper Collins, Netgalley, and Samantha Howe for this🌟🌟🌟🌟 Star book in exchange for an honest review.

Sounds interesting, right? I wish it was. This turned out to be boring, repetitious and far-fetched. Lots and lots of filler. I couldn't bring myself to even come close to finishing it.

Did enjoy the book, however at times I found it difficult to concentrate on the story. The characters were likeable. But it's just wasn't for me.
