This was my first read from this author. Overall, I did enjoy this book, but it started off slowly, After almost halfway through it began to capture my attention. I liked the characters and how they fit together and helped add to the storyline. While I was reading I kept imagining this book as a movie and I do think it would make for a good movie. I hope to see that happen one day. Domestic suspense novels are new to me and most just don't do it for me, but this one is one of the token few that I would recommend.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for this advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

Ok but a bit of a slow book , very predictable ending that I guessed half way through . No surprises and the characters were a bit dull . Not the best Ive ever read

This was a great domestic thriller that I enjoyed reading. It took a while for me to get into this book, but once I was into it I couldn't stop reading.

It is a well written story that focuses on rumours, gossip and lies. I definitely want to read more novels from this author!

This was the first book by this author. The book had good characters, but it did drag in places a bit. I found certain chapters tedious. However, I did enjoy it. Thanks @bookoutre and @Netgalley for giving me the chance to read it, and I definitely will read more by this author

I really enjoyed this book! A great story line that kept me hooked and excellent main characters. I would highly recommend this book.

Even if this book is well written I found it very slow and it didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

On the whole a good read. However it lacked the hook to draw a reader in from the beginning. Worth a read nonetheless.

I wanted to love the book. It was a slow read. I did finish and it was ok. I just felt the prose has been overdone in too many books.

This book was bad. It was interesting but really slow. Or I guess anticlimactic. It was hard to pick up at times but once I did it was enjoyable.

Thank you to Emma Davies, Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC.

This book was just ok for me. The story started off pretty good, but then became a bit boring. I almost DNF, but I figured I got this far might as well see it to the end. Decent characters, and decent story premise but it didn't hold my attention.

I have read books by this author before but this is not the same stuff and I have to say that it fits her like a glove too.

I really like both genres she writes. They are both emotional, but this book is heavier and spookier. 

I not only fell in love with the gorgeous cover, but I also totally enjoyed the story.

What would you do when you are the center of some vicious gossip? What would you do when you don't know why you are their victim? What would you do when the people you trusted and loved the most become strangers? What would you do when your world is turned upside down?

These are all questions Thea has to deal with. And what she finds out is more than devastating ...

Sometimes you hate the way people treat you. You feel like they deceive you, but when you dig deeper, you will understand why they acted this way. Is it out of love? Out of protection? Out of shame or grief? Or a combination of more than one emotion?

I utterly enjoyed the book. I did not like the way some people behaved. After all you need baddies to add a darker side, but I could put myself in their shoes and understand them. 4,5 stars.

Thank you, Emma Davies and Bookouture.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this ARC.

I felt the story was pretty good until about chapter 18, then it was becoming mundane and boring.

Good story at first but not a thriller. My Husbands Lies wasn't what I expected from the title.

Drew and Thea go back to their childhood home. You can never go back.

I wanted to LOVE this book so much, but after reading 100 pages, nothing was happening and I eventually put it in my DNR stack, which is substantially small. I understand needing to set a story through the first part of the book, but I don't feel that it should take the first one-third to do so. Nothing has happened in this book that would want a reader to keep reading it. I also had to look up several words due to being an American and not using the same language as Europeans.

My Husband's Lie by Emma Davies was a really interesting story that kept my attention. It was more of general fiction than a thriller though. With that said, the book was very enjoyable.

Thea is thrilled to see her childhood home on the market, It's an old Victorian in the country. She and her husband can work from home together in the town they were born in, send their girls to the primary school they attended. She loved her village and her home, and never really knew why her parents moved her away from it all.

But her homecoming isn't what it seems. There are rumors. Unfriendly people and blatant hate for her and her family. Why? Is this behavior somehow connected to why her parents left the area? When the rumors only get worse, Thea stands to lose everything that is dear to her - friends, family and maybe even her beloved husband.

I liked the book, but I think the husband Drew got a bad rap in the title. To me Her Husband's Lies is less about Drew's lies and more about the lies of the past. Great title or not, read the book, it's good.

They say you should never go back, but when Thea finds her childhood home is for sale she doesn't hesitate. Husband Drew is a little more guarded but since he was her neighbour and childhood sweetheart he knows the area and the house as well as she does and it doesn't take long before they are moving their two young daughters back to the village they both remember so fondly.

Unfortunately not everyone welcomes them back and even though they make friends with the couple living in Drew's old home and Lauren and Chloe become inseparable from their young daughter, Tilly, others aren't so friendly. Thea knows the playground goes quiet when she drops off and picks up her girls, comments are made as she shops nearby and her stress levels rise. Then she finds something left in her childhood hiding place detaling secrets from when she first lived there and, as everything begins to unravel, she isn't sure their family can survive.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the characters were strong and sympathetically written. The descriptions of the house and countryside vivid enough to enable a picture to appear as you read and village life, which I experienced myself until my early twenties, was neither idealized or stereotyped in any way. The impact of gossip and everyone thinking they know everyone else's business, whether directly or indirectly, was well covered and realistic. There is a part, set in the local village hall, which reminded me instantly of gatherings I frequented as a child and it seems, in part, they are the same everywhere!

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good read and excellent characterisation, as this is definitely both those things and more.

I knew I was going to love this book as soon as I saw it! I am so happy I was able to read it because this storyline was fantastic and the suspense will get ya!

A fantastic read by Emma Davies . Thanks so much to Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book. A young couple decide to move back to their home town to the exact house the wife grew up in. They are deeply disturbed to find the locals reacting negatively towards them. A newspaper clippings holds the secret . Could her father be guilty of sexual assault of a young girl years before. An intense, em5read that will keep you turning the pages.

Never go back, it is never the same. But Thea does exactly that, but she has no idea why it was never going to be the same, because she had no idea what had happened then.

When Thea spots her own childhood home up for sale, she realises that it is meant to be and she can now bring her family up in the same warm,loving home that she was. In a small town where her and her husband Drew were neighbours and childhood sweethearts.

But it seems that Thea is not welcomed like she thought she would be.

The house is perfect, everything she remembers including the secret hiding places, but outside of those walls it seems that the place has changed and it seems everyone is talking about her, avoiding her and trying to imply something.

Thea does not know what it is.

Until she finds something hidden, in one of her childhood hiding places.

An old yellow and faded newspaper article from not long before her family suddenly moved away.

Everything she thought she knew is wrong. Even her husband seems to know everything she doesn't.

The memory of her childhood is shattered and Thea fights to make herself heard in a place where no one is listening. Perhaps they are not listening because what Thea says is all false. But surely the truth will out.

Only actions and time will see if people will understand, help and importantly listen and observe as to what is going on around them.

Sometimes the things closest to you are the hardest to see.

This is a marked change in direction for Emma Davies and one I was not quite so sure about. However her brilliant writing and narrative really hit home when it came to some of the more difficult topics. Bullying can happen at any age and it sometimes takes some radical action to understand the mentality and reasoning behind someone else actions. The contrast between childhood bullying and adult bullying really was an excellent way of reflecting how these things permeate our society in an easily accepted way without question.

My Husband's Lie is a book which will take you on a journey through your emotions and you might need to hang on tight as you find out the truth.

This was an incredible novel that drew me in and never let go. I felt emotionally invested in the characters’ lives and couldn’t stop reading.

My Husband's Lies is about a couple Thea and Drew and there small girls. Living in London they decide to move to Thea and Drew childhood home.. When arriving they discover that many who live there have a problem with them. As time goes on Thea finds the problem, her father is accused of raping a girl 20 years before. Thea finds that Drew knows of this and when Thea finds out. she has trouble trusting him again. Anna, a close neighbor, who believes the story, slowly sees that the story might be false. Thea puts her trust in her Father and then discovers that a neighbor,, who accuses Thea Father,was actually her own Father that rapes the girl. This book was a good read. I enjoyed the character of Thea, a strong but loving wife and a mother. She has total faith in her husband and her world was rocked when she finds out Drew knew that her father was accused of the rape. I would have liked to know more about Drew. We really never knew why he kept the secret from Thea. I liked how Thea decided to believe in fathers innocents and decided to stick with her faith in him. I also felt that the character of Stacy and her son was not develop enough. When we find out that Stacy father did the rape we barely knew why her son, Leo, was so aggressive to both Anne and Thea's daughter. All in all I like the book. I enjoy English novel. , I feel that they are more well written, in the most part, than American novels. They have more of a narrative that I enjoy. I would recommend this book interested in a thrillers.
