Brilliant! I couldn't wait to read this and finished it in less than 24 hours! Kerry's books get better and better. Twist after twist, original writing, and no over reliance on the usual tropes for this genre makes this a stokner of a novel.

Thnak you for the chance to review, I have recommended it to all!

This book was amazing. My first book by Kerry Wilkinson and lucky for me, I've discovered she's a prolific author. I jumped to conclusion, conclusion, conclusion and didn't see the ending until...well, it was the ending. And it plotted together perfectly. It was fast paced. The story swapped from present day main character Maddy, to youthful Maddy and what had happened that caused her to remain steadfast in the situation she now faces. We do get some bits and pieces of her husband's story, but concentrated toward the end mostly. It's hard to review this because I do not want to give anything away. Beautifully written. Just enough description to help move the story nicely. Nothing is as it seems. Thank you Netgalley and publisher Bookouture for this wonderful ARC!

Kerry Wilkinson never fails to produce the goods. I really enjoyed this. Upper middle class village English life beautifully observed against the backdrop of a great thriller. Little Alice is found lying by a stream on a cold frosty November evening and so begins a brilliant read. Read in one day this is a captivating read that I really didn’t want to put down. Just who can you trust in life?
“ Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!”

Close the curtains. Turn on all the lights. Lock the doors. What My Husband Did is a goosebump-causing heart-racing thriller by Kerry Wilkinson to be published November 17, 2020.

Without blood, guts nor gore, Wilkinson has a clever way of chilling his readers to the bone. Little Alice, a 12-year-old local village girl has been left for dead and now Madeline’s husband is missing. Are the two connected? Completely captivated, I desperately flipped pages because I was not only interested in what had happened to Alice, but also in what secret Madeline was keeping. Is Alice alive? Does Madeline really know her husband? Who is going to pay for this one?

I love Wilkinson’s straightforward, simple writing because it makes the storyline flow so easily and makes reading enjoyable. The storyline, in complete juxtaposition to his writing style, is expertly crafted and the twists and turns keep readers on edge. The red herrings came out of left field and continuously kept my interest. He weaves suspense, misdirection, and intrigue in a dual timeline like I’ve never seen before. Putting myself in Madeline’s shoes I wouldn’t have known who to trust. Whether you like them or not, Wilkinson's characters are believable and engaging and I was constantly reading for motive, means and opportunity in their actions.

Paramount to this story’s success is Wilkinson’s familiarity with English village life where gossiping, knowing the locals, hedgerows, verges and traipsing across farmer’s fields are commonplace. Reading about the quiet village life expertly lulls readers before banging them over the head with the best parts of the thriller. The cycle repeats throughout the story, right to the very last sentence. It’s like taking a roller coaster ride for the first time…in the dark! What a ride! I can’t wait to read another of Wilkinson’s masterpieces. After all, he lives in my city and we West Coast locals support each other!

Thank you Kerry Wilkinson, Bookouture and Netgalley for this advance copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

#WhatMyHusbandDid #NetGalley
An unsettling and tense thriller. Wilkinson will never let you down.
You love your husband and you know everything about him or so you pretend or he is telling you the truth that his first wife was no more and people in the village still see him with great sympathy.
One day a girl is found in a nearby field and people are saying that its the work of your husband because he's on a run. He disappeared from your home. Where is he? Did he do something bad to that girl?
You can prove his innocence by telling your own darkest secret but something holds you not to.
Are you both involved in the crime?
And what happened really to his first wife?
Kerry is back with another good concept. I adored this thriller which has engaging characters and narration so no complaints.
I'm doing promotion on the release date among my fellow Authors Bloggers Family Friends and Followers,hope they will love it as much as I did.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advanced copy.
