The other woman is a thriller you could, and I did, read in one sitting. It’s a twisty thriller that is absolute chaos. This felt all over the place and I think I temporarily lost the story line in one of the biggest twists, but overall I had a good time. There is not a lot I can go into without spoilers. I would go in blind anyway, but the characters were a little flat and I didn’t know who to root for I think ever! That was fun though, because I do love unreliable narrators. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Bookouture for this preview

David Okine, star of his own TV interview show, is having an affair with his researcher Nina Bello. His wife Kitty is sure this is true…so sure that she has followed him to a bar, seen what she believes is flirtation, and decided that she will do anything to avoid divorce. Their best friends, Tom and Annie and Caro and Ed, sense tension. They allude to McCrazy, as they refer to her, a stalker who believed she was married to David. Then David skewers Dick Bell, a disgraced Member of Parliament, ratings for the show are off the charts and there is a wild after party. This leads to murder, stalking and a disappearance.

There is, of course, much much more in this complex, impossible to put down mystery. No spoilers here but remember that nothing, nothing at all is what it seems. Holly Down is a gifted writer and I can’t wait to read her next thriller. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and Holly down for this ARC.

3 ⭐️ for The Other Woman by Holly Down
Kitty is convinced her husband David is cheating on her with his co worker Nina, but then Nina is murdered, Kitty cant remember what she was doing that night and David is avoiding the police. Follow along to un cover who murdered Nina and what happened that night.

The overall feel of the book was good but it didn't have me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next, the change in characters was easy to follow. Come the end you can figure out exactly what is going to happen. I feel like some of the characters were a little flat and would of loved to see more from their POV. It was a good read but not one I would be reaching to pick up again.

Thanks Netgalley, Bookouture and Holly Down for the ARC.

David is a political journalist with an award winning TV show, Kitty is his glamorous wife. They’ve grown apart recently as they’ve been struggling with infertility and IVF. However, David is determined to make the relationship work.

I found the first half of the book a little odd. Clearly something was not quite right but I couldn’t fathom out what, until there was a huge twist half way through. It made me want to go back to the beginning and read the story again with this new found knowledge.

A few other twists and turns kept the story going to the end.

I wouldn’t say I loved this book but it was cleverly written & left me wondering about the real Kitty.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately a DNF for me! i couldn’t get into the story and found the characters to lack any sort of personality

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC! This book was so entertaining. This twists and turns left me breathless and wanting more!!! I was pleasantly surprised by this entire book! The characters were so believable and the plot twists made this a heart pounding read!!! I couldn’t believe the ending!! Wow! I will be reading more from this author and I highly recommend this psychological thriller!!!

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of The Other Woman. This book kept me on my toes, hubby and wife played a game of cat and mouse in the beginning. I was confused during part two but then it all made sense, but I didn't like being confused for a bit. There was a lot going on. The epilogue was the Best part of the book that was a WOW moment which redeemed the whole book. Stick with it so you can get to the epilogue and have your mind spin.

Obsession, secrets, betrayals, twists and turns - everything is not as it seems and even the most obvious is not. Quite the page turner, and maybe a happy ending for some, but maybe not all ...

If you're looking for a book to hook you immediately then look no further! This one had me on the edge of my seat and kept me wanting more in the best way. I look forward to reading more of Holly Down's work!

This book had me confused (in a very good way) all the way up to the ending. I had no idea who did what to whom. Very good twists. Did not see any of it coming which is always the mark of a good read.

This was such a gripping read, the book got more intense as suspense grew and the twists and turns developed

A book about secrets and infidelity is always juicy. Kitty and David have been married for years and now they are going through a rough spot. Many twists and turns. I highly recommend.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 7th June. This was a great twisty plot which kept me guessing and gripped to the very end. I read it in a day as the book was only 26 chapters long! 😊 I’d highly recommend this book.

The author's writing style is impeccable, seamlessly weaving together multiple plot lines and expertly building tension throughout the story. Each chapter unravels new layers of intrigue and mystery, leaving you constantly guessing and second-guessing. The pacing is perfectly balanced, never lagging or rushing, ensuring that the excitement never wanes.

Overall, "The Other Women" is a gripping and unforgettable thriller that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew. With its masterful storytelling, well-crafted characters, and spine-tingling suspense, this book is a must-read for any fan of the genre. Prepare to be captivated, shocked, and thoroughly entertained by this literary gem.

Wow! Loved this one!

Kitty and David met in college and hit it off right away. But here they are many years into marriage and things are rocky. Infidelity, secrets, and lies are coming between them. Kitty suspects a romance kindling between David and his coworker Nina. When Nina and Kitty both go missing, truths begin to surface and no one can be trusted.

I loved that this was on the shorter side. Made for a quick, easy read. The transition into Part 2 literally had my jaw on the floor.
Loved the characters and chapter points of view. Unexpected turns kept me interested throughout!

First I want to say thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me my first ever ARC. I was super excited for the opportunity. Unfortunately this book wasn't a great read for me.

I hate giving a book such a low rating but this was almost a DNF for me. Everything was going ok until the second "Kitty" was introduced. Then it became confusing for what I had just read. I almost wanted to go back and reread the first part. It was annoying instead of thrilling trying to keep up with which Kitty was which. The twist wasn't too shocking for me and definitely didn't make up for the "Kitty" confusion.

This was the first book ive read from this author, still willing to try books from her in the future!

Golden couple Kitty and David were once very much in love, but things haven’t been going well. Kitty has seen David out with his coworker Nina in intimate poses and she’s angry. Nina is unexpectedly murdered, is Kitty responsible? There was a lot going on here, characters and plot stories. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy.

I DNF this book at 21% I really tried to get into this book, but it just wasn’t for me. It was also a little confusing at times and also a slow pace. I personally prefer my psychological thrillers to be a quick fast pace.
Thank you for the opportunity to be able to review this book.

The first 25% of this book was a struggle for me as nothing much happened. Getting past this i became more involved in the story. The characters became more interesting and the twists involving certain characters got me hooked.
I can't say i loved this book but it certainly became more interesting the further on i got.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

2.5 stars rounded up. I almost DNF’s this book at 30% because nothing had happened and any kind of plot was non-existent. I decided to stick it out and things did get better half way through. This book was driven by unreliable narrators. I need at least one character to be giving me some semblance of the truth. I was constantly being lied to and that’s not an enjoyable read. While I enjoyed some of the twists/reveals something was missing that left me unsatisfied at the end.
