Wow! KL Slater knocks another one out of the park!! This was full of twists and turns. And of course super creepy reveals. Loved the characters. Don’t miss this one!
Thank you NetGalley, KL Slater and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I don't know why but when I went into this I was expecting a Freida McFadden type read, simplistic and nothing too in-depth yet still entertaining. Well, I was way off because this was so intricately written, inserting puzzle pieces of this mystery into precise spots here and there until the very end when you can finally see the whole picture and are left shocked. This author has upped her game ten fold with this and I am pleasantly surprised. While many of the characters are highly unlikeable, their stories are not and I couldn't help but feeling a little bit of understanding at some point with a few of them. The main protagonist Nicola however, was very likeable and she was the one I found myself rooting for and feeling so empathetic towards. This went back and forth with the timeline from months ago to present to two weeks ago and back that it seemed like it would be extremely hard to follow, but the way this author did it made it feel so effortless and helped the understanding of the story more so. This was an impressive, highly entertaining, addictive page-turner and I give it four stars.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy I’d this book.

Nicola and Cal are a happy couple. They live a decent but not luxurious life. Their some Parker and his wife Luna and their son Barney live more luxuriously. I hey don’t have much time for Nicola and Cal anymore. Marie and Joe are Luna’s parents. Well off and happy to spend money. The mystery is, which couple is the husband and wife from the title?

The book starts with Barney being dropped off at Nicola’s. His parents have an event to attend. They are rudely woken during the night by the police. There’s been an accident and Parker and Luna are in hospital.

Running alongside this story, we hear about the murder of a young girl called Sarah. The police are appealing for a vital piece of evidence missing from her body. When Nicola finds this evidence she doesn’t know what to do.

Wow this was some read. I totally devoured this book and couldn’t put it down. I figured out the murderer fairly early on and was confident I was right. However the author really made me doubt myself, as there were so many twists and turns and signs that somebody else might be guilty. Highly recommend.

What. A. Riveting. Mystery!
K.L Slater has outdone herself! This book had every single thing I wanted in a new thriller. Drama. Different POVs. Lies. Family. I stayed up late to read this one, and I haven't done that in quite a while! Who needs bedtimes, right?
Husband and Wife is a slow and twisted story of a secretive couple, their parents, and a murdered mother. I truly didn't know which POV I could trust.
Brilliant book, a fascinating mix of characters, and it keeps you guessing till the end. What more could I want? You need to read this the minute it comes out! Releases 3rd Nov 2023. 5 stars all round.
Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley and Bookouture!

Honestly this book has so many twists and turns and blind alleys you need a map and compass to navigate your way through! A young woman is found murdered in an alley and the resulting investigation tears several lives apart. Marriages built on shifting sands of mistrust and lies, come crashing down with devastating consequences. I don't want to give plotlines away but suffice to say K.L.Slater never disappoints. I have stayed awake all night to finish this book and even when I thought all was,revealed I was hit with another whammy. Thriller writing at it's best !

A husband and wife are in hospital after a terrible accident - both injured, but one worse than the other. Unfortunately, they both have secrets which are on the cusp of discovery, which they are each determined to protect.

They dropped off their young son with his grandparents earlier, the husband indicating to his mother that he had something to discuss. But he did not get a chance to have that conversation before the accident. What was he going to tell her?

In addition to this, there is a young woman missing, a single mother with a questionable history. So what does this couple know about her disappearance?

The marriage is struggling, so it would not be surprising for them to now turn on each other, and the wife is in a better position to do so. The problem is, there is a very real possibility that they are both unreliable narrators, so it is hard to know who to trust.

And the author certainly doesn't make it any easier! With her skilled story telling, she delivers twist after twist - and while the story is a slow burn, it is quite an entertaining read. I give it 3.5 stars.

This was a fast paced, addictive book to read. The twists and turns kept coming. I was able to finish it quickly as it held my attention the whole time. Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC

Luna and Parker have the perfect life with their son Barney. Parker’s mum, Nicola, wishes she could be closer to them but Parker always seems to keep his distance since Luna came on the scene. A mysterious road traffic incident in the middle of the night incapacitates Parker and Luna and things start to unravel when Nicola tries to uncover the truth… A good read with some unexpected twists, however I did not enjoy one plot twist at the end and felt it was not very thought out.

Thank you to NetGalley for this advanced copy of Husband and Wife by K.L. Slater.
Parker and Luna are in the hospital recovering from a terrible car accident. All both can think about is which one will be able to talk to the police first. Not to report details about the accident, but for fear of what the other one will say about their involvement in covering up a murder.
They are both fighting for their lives with secrets to hide from the authorities and from each other. Who is to be believed – the husband or the wife – or neither?
I have enjoyed several of K.L. Slater’s books so I couldn’t wait to read this one, and it did not disappoint! I thought I had it figured out several times, but was completely surprised at the end.
It was my favorite book of hers so far and can’t wait to read more! You will not regret getting this one!

Yet another great and gripping read from this author. This book was exciting and I enjoyed every twist and turn

Husband and Wife is another brilliant book by KL Slater. Every book by this author is so gripping and is impossible to put down. This book kept me up reading till 1.30am but I had to finish it. The story goes backwards and forwards but never gets confusing and every character is interesting but not all likeable. Congratulations KL Slater on another amazing book which I highly recommend. Can't wait for the next one by my favourite author.

A story of husbands and wives, secrets and lies, and betrayal and murder. Full of twists and turns and huge shocks, I loved this! Like how it goes between different characters as the truth unravels. Brilliant!

Absolutely amazing! If you like domestic noirs then this is a must read! I can go into how ots well paced and there are multiple povs and plenty twists but I'm saving myself the time by just saying this is the thriller that other thrillers aspire to be! Just read it! You won't be disappointed

Where to start with this book - it was AMAZING. read it a day, could not put it down.

Two people fighting for their lives. Parker and Luna. Two people with secrets to hide. Kept me guessing right until the end. One of the best books I've ever read.
The story goes backwards and forwards between several characters but this did not complicate the story. It made it easier to understand what was going on. and really added to the mystery of who-done-it.

Highly recommend this book.

What can I say WOW this book was excellent what a thrilling read which kept me hooked from start to finish. I could not put it down which didn’t surprise me I have now read all of K.L Slaters book and they are all excellent. Husband and wife was definitely no exception it was full of twists, turns and red herrings which had me gripped until the very end and what an ending it was fantastic.

It is told from the different character’s perspective going from past to present which I loved as it helps build the suspense. I will definitely be recommending this one of my favourite reads this year. Thanks to netgallery and the publisher for my advanced copy.

I have read several books by this author and this one holds true to their fantastic writing! This was an interesting read with several unexpected twists. Also, the author does a great job with character development and had me having strong feelings of annoyance or sympathy for several of the characters. Definitely recommend reading this book!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC. all opinionated are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5

Nestled in Nottingham, not everything or everyone is as it appears. Young single mother, Sarah has been murdered in a dark alleyway Parker and Luna are young, attractive and a successful married couple parents to Barney. One evening they drop Barney with Nicola and cal, Parker’s parents for an overnight. Of course Nicola is thrilled, ever since his marriage she rarely gets time with him or her grandson. It seems they have been pushed out of the married couples lives in favor of Lunas wealthy family.

On the way home from their event, Parker and Luna are involved in a catastrophic car crash leaving Parker in a coma and Luna with serious injuries. Thus begins the journey of cat and mouse and finger pointing once Nicola discovers a scarf with questionable origins.

It seems Luna and Parker both hold secrets that could destroy the other. Nicola just wants the truth and embarks upon a mission to find it but will it destroy them all?

I found this to be a most refreshing read. After back to back mediocre psychological thriller genres,this one provided a nice change of pace. Told by different povs in alternating timelines, the chapters flow nicely. Character development was thoroughly explored and developed. Even if the twist is guessed before the reveal, the characters are interesting enough to give the incentive to reach the conclusion. I will recommend to my reader groups and friends.

Husband and Wife by K.L. Slater is another gripping domestic thriller from an author who never disappoints. I could not wait to get my hands on her latest, and I can confirm that it was certainly worth the wait.

A husband and wife drop their son off to spend the night with his doting grandparents. The husband alludes to the fact that he has something confidential to share with his mother, and a plan is made to speak privately when he returns. His secret is never revealed, however, when he is in a terrible car accident before he can share it. His wife is also injured, though is well enough to pit her parents against her in-laws. Meanwhile, the murder of a young local woman remains unsolved. And so the plot thickens.

This is K.L. Slater at her absolute best. Told from the multiple perspectives of a fascinating and diverse cast of characters, you will be glued to the pages in a bid to uncover a plethora of secrets. Brilliant.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

So K.L. Slater is one of my favourite authors., A group of highly unlikable people, lies, secrets and many twists and turns keep the suspense of this story.

Just when I was sure I had it all worked out Slater had me rethink my thoughts.. which makes a great thriller in my books. The writing as usual is superb and i highly recommend

Thanks Bookouture and Netgalley.. All thoughts and opinions are my own and I am not influenced by anyone else in. My reviews.

I've loved all the books that I have previously read by K. L. Slater and this one was no different. It had me hooked right away and I didn't want to put it down.
