I so love this authors books always an addictive and twisty read. Kathleen Corin and Siobhan are sisters. Siobhan lives in Brighton with her husband and daughter. Her two sisters still live in her hometown in Ireland. but Kathleen went missing leaving her husband and son. But one day Siobhan gets a call someone has found her sisters purse, so she takes her daughter with her to Ireland.so Sobhan decides to investigate why her sister is missing. but someone will do anything to stop her a very fast paced read. I so recommend.

Gripping with lots of fantastic detail and aspects to it. I loved the Irish backdrop with the stunning scenery and rich language and cultural aspects. The many complex relationships in families was also brilliantly explored together with past secrets and loyalties that come into play no matter how buried they are.
There is lots of peril and suspense and the real desperation and drama of when a loved one is missing and the mystery around it. There are also modern aspects and difficult topics such as domestic abuse, grooming and corruption are explored.
At times this is also n emotional rollercoaster and definitely a page turner, particularly towards the end when the pace was so fast and I needed to know how it’d pan out. A definite recommend for me, solid likeable characters and excellent storytelling.

This was a tense psychological thriller, the pace was not as fast as I had hoped but I did enjoy parts of this book.

I want to start by giving thanks to NetGalley, Storm Publishing, and Sue Fortin for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC.

This is the first review I’ve ever done, and unfortunately it’s not good one. This book felt like it dragged on, and on, and on, and I almost DNF’d it multiple times. The only times things really piqued my interest was in the “then” chapters. I feel as if there were way too many characters, chapters were longer than they needed to be, words/names were difficult to pronounce, and the writing style was not one I’m used to so that which made it difficult for me to read - but that’s at no fault of the author. With all that being said, I’m giving this two stars. There were times in the book where things were interesting, and then there were times where the chapters just dragged on. I feel as if this book was more about Shiobhan instead of Kathleen, and it may have even helped to give a little bit of a back story of Kathleen - maybe the prologue and her POV the day of her disappearance. I really wanted to like this book because the description of it excited me, but overall, I was left disappointed.

The Missing Wife is a domestic psychological thriller set in Ireland. Our main character, Siobhan returns to Dingle, her hometown after the disappearance of her sister 6 months prior. However, that causes a bit of a fuss with the people of Dingle that are wondering why she started to care about her sister after so long.

As we follow the story, we discovered many hidden secrets, and we disturb the peace of the secrets owners that don’t want them to come to life. Between the twists and the flashbacks of the story we can feel the suspense and the atmosphere is well created.

I felt like the beginning was a bit slow but the tension throughout the book compensated that. I really liked to see the family drama and the twists, and there were moments when I though my heart couldn’t take it anymore. So, I highly recommended it specially in these cold rainy days were we can feel the tension while having a cup of tea to try and control the anxiety to find out the end of our story.

Thank you, Storm Publishing and NetGalley, for approving me to read this arc and write this review.

During a girls night out, Kathleen the eldest of the Regan sisters, discloses something she has kept secret for years. Her siblings Siobhan and Corin are shocked and upset. None of the women handle the revelation well, and what started off as a conversation, turns into an argument, fuelled by anger and wine. To make things more complicated, Kathleen goes missing later that night, and six months later there is still no sign of her.

An interesting start that drew me in. Siobhan was not a great protagonist, far too annoying, and the other characters were a little stereotypical. The plot kept me guessing who to believe. Did like the setting, Dingle is a gem, though I’m not sure I’ve met anyone like the darker characters!

Nothing groundbreaking here, but an enjoyable read.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm.

This is a good domestic psychological thriller set in Ireland. Siobhan returns to her hometown of Dingle after receiving a call that her missing sister's purse has been found with a note with Siobhan's name and phone number. Her sister Kathleen disappeared 6 months ago. As an investigative journalist, Siobhan starts digging for clues immediately, unfortunately getting people in Dingle riled up. Why is she looking for answers now, when 6 months ago it appeared she could care less about Kathleen?

As we see through past flashbacks, there are a lot of secrets being kept and apparently some people never want those secrets to surface. There are some good twists, and although the ending was a bit predictable, I still enjoyed it.

No. Please make me forget about this book.

Thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing but it was a complete drag reading this book. I couldn't get into the story and the main character was totally unlikeable. It was a pain trying to finish this at all.

And the missing wife? The reason behind her disappearance? The big reveal? That's it? No thanks.

I've read better books with similar plot. This one annoyed the shit out of me. Seriously.

Siobhan returns to Ireland after receiving a call that her missing sister's purse has been found.
She is a journalist and begins to ask too many questions, getting closer to the truth about Kathleen's disappearance, and as a result, Siobhan's daughter's life is in danger.

This is a good read, with a lot of suspense, family drama and twists.
The beginning is a little slow, but the mystery unravels through the book, and there is a lot of tension in the final chapters.

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read this digital ARC.

I loved this story line. It kept me on my toes. I really liked that there wasn’t a lot of fluff between dialogue. A lot of times it switched between one statement to another besides saying “John said” at the end of each quotation. It flowed nicely. I couldn’t put it down. It even made my heart race in a few scenes. I recommend this and I am glad I got an ARC from NetGalley.

Whilst I enjoyed it on the whole, it wasn’t anything stand out and it was quite formulaic in places. A decent enough read however.

I would say this is one of Sue's better books. It kept my attention and I powered through it. Some of the characters were very annoying in how they handled things. Freya looked like a stupid teenage girl-I mean, have some common sense at least about strangers, especially when you know your aunt may have been killed by these same people. Siobhan got annoying; her dad was just a jerk, and the cop was entitled. That being said, the book flowed nicely and had some good suspense.

A decent thriller/drama. Wouldn't say i was on the edge of my seat but enough twists and turns to keep me reading. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

A big thank you to NetGalley, Storm publishing and Sue Fortin for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC! Thank you 🙏🏼

This was such a great and quick read! I love thrillers and that’s one thing I love about them. They pull you into the story and leave you dying to know what happens next. This one is no different!

The book takes place in Ireland which was a really nice touch that I enjoyed. They are trying to figure out what happened to one of the Regan sisters, Kathleen after she’s gone missing. There’s twists, turns and drama to push you through the book. I recommend this book for a nice and easy read.

This is the first book I've read by Sue Fortin & I did enjoy it, I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next!

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬!

I thoroughly enjoyed being swept away to a little village on the 𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅 and becoming an armchair detective in order to uncover what really happened to the oldest Regan sister.

As often happens with siblings, a disagreement occurred when the Regan sisters were out celebrating Kathleen Walsh’s fortieth birthday. Sadly, that was the last time anyone saw her. She simply disappeared 6 months ago, leaving behind an embittered husband and a confused twenty-year-old son.

Siobhan (pronounced shiv-awn) Martin and her 15-year-old daughter, Freya, head to Dingle in the south of Ireland to meet up with the two other Regan siblings in hopes of finding out what really happened that night at the pub. Siobhan feels guilty that she didn’t return her sister Kathleen’s call the night she went missing and her guilt is consuming her. She can’t rest until she finds out more. When she arrives at Corin Foley’s (her youngest sister) house, she discovers that someone has left Kathleen’s purse in Corin’s mailbox. Not only is it the purse Kathleen was given as a gift the night of the disagreement, but it’s also empty of any bank cards or money. All it contains is a bus and train ticket and a shocking note, hidden in a pocket.

It’s a bumpy ride to uncover what really happened that night and Fortin has a wonderful way of engaging readers in this truly immersive southern Ireland experience. Although the 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, Fortin also references grooming victims and kidnapping. It is a great novel about what people will do to keep a secret hidden while others are frantically trying to uncover it.

Will Kathleen be found? You’ll have to read for yourself!

I was gifted this copy by Storm Publishing and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

I was really enjoying this book in set in Ireland until halfway when I found it a little bit draining. I really wanted to slap Siobhan. When Siobhan’s sister Kathleen goes missing she will do anything to find out what happened to her. Trying to resurrect her old journalistic career after a split from her husband how far will she go to find her sister.
Thank you Storm Publishing, Net Galley & Sue Fortin for an advanced copy of this.

Good book! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, Action packed, intrigue, mystery, murder, kidnapping, revenge, shady cops, a great who done it, great plot twist, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle!! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Twisty and familiar. An average mystery/thriller book. I liked Fortin's writing. Fortin's writing impressed me in how she set up the story, but I found myself less invested afterwards. I thank NetGalley for the ARC.
