I really enjoyed this domestic thriller. It had everything that I enjoy in a thriller - captivating characters, a good storyline, and a surprising reveal. I really liked the ending and how everything played out. It felt so justified and like sweet justice. These are my favorite types of storylines. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Homewrecker by J M Dalgliesh and narrated by Alison Campbell and Tamsin Kennard was an excellent and gripping psychological thriller with a brilliant twist that will have sitting on the edge of your seat, It was a fast paced book that will have your gripped from the beginning and you will find it hard to put the audiobook off or your kindle down. I loved this book, especially as it had brilliant twists and turns throughout with great characters. I really enjoyed this book and the narrators Alison Campbell and Tamsin Kennard were superb.

I found this book to be slow in places and some of the storyline didn’t make sense but it didn’t end the way I expected it to.

I found the character of Deanna to be annoying and vacuous and at times I didn’t understand her actions but it will pay off in the end.

Definitely a slow burn but the payoff at the end is worth it.:

The Homewrecker by J.M. Dalgliesh is a captivating psychological thriller that explores the complexities of love, betrayal, and the dark side of obsession. The novel follows the story of Alex, a seemingly perfect wife and mother who begins to unravel when she discovers her husband's infidelity.

As Alex delves deeper into her husband's affair, she becomes consumed by a desire for revenge. She embarks on a dangerous path, manipulating and deceiving those around her to get what she wants. The novel is filled with suspense and twists, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as Alex's actions escalate.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy.

Was she a homewrecker or just a helpful person? I'll leave that for you to decide.
Honestly this was an unputdownable thriller. I was gobbling it up on all angles and sides. The thrills, the scares, the moments of truths, everything. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book.

I was left totally breathless by the end with a twist I did not see coming. J M Daigliesh is one of my favorite authors, he never fails to deliver but I think this has to be my number one now. I would highly recommend this but be ready for a book that you cannot put down.

What a roller coaster of emotion this book pulled out of me.

Homewrecker started a little slower than I prefer but it definitely picked up with intensity as it reached the major twists and turns.

Sophie has a wonderful husband, 2 children, and a successful broadcasting career. Life is perfect. Or is it? Sophie’s life begins to crumble before the readers eyes and we’re left trying to piece through it all.

The characters were the biggest issues for me in this book. I don’t think there was a single character I actually liked. Sophie was unreliable and high strung. Her husband was a gaslighting moron who had me constantly asking “why are men so stupid?” Deanna was also an annoying character I could not stand. The problem with having such unlikable characters is that it makes it more difficult to care about their outcomes. I was also left with some questions that I never felt were thoroughly addressed.

Overall, this was an easy and entertaining enough book to read but don’t expect to connect with any of the characters! Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This was my first book by this author, and I'm a new fan! I enjoyed the journey getting to know the characters as the well written plot developed. I was so curious about the connection between Deanna and the other characters. This story was well written as I found myself fully immersed in what was going on and what was going to come. Fully invested, i flew through this book.

Scott and Sophie have the perfect life and home, and they both have successful careers. Their daughter Katie has some struggles in school, so they bring in Deanna as a tutor. Once Deanna enters the house, things get crazy. There were shocking twists and turns throughout, and the ending caught me completely off guard! I thought I knew where the story was headed, but my assumptions were WAY off!

I will definitely be reading more by J M Dalgliesh.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I've read other books by this author and expected this one to be a cracker. I was a bit disappointed however,
The gaslighting of Sophie reached such a level that I felt like grabbing her by the collar and giving her a shake,
The ending, although a bit unexpected, was completely over the top and a trifle unbelievable to be sure,
I have read many books on the same or similar theme and didn't feel this one stood out above the rest.
Three stars

I absolutely loved this novel. I love a good domestic thriller and this one had me hooked until the very end. So many secrets, lies and deceit. Surely to have you gripped as you flip the pages. I look forward to more titles by this author.

This was very different to what I had been expecting. I really enjoyed it and it kept me hooked right to the very end. There were lots of twists and turns and I couldn't predict what was going to happen next. Very enjoyable!

In "Homewrecker," Sophie Beckett's seemingly idyllic life begins to unravel when her twelve-year-old daughter, Katie, encounters challenges at school. To assist Katie, Sophie and her husband, Scott, employ Deanna, a youthful and attractive tutor. However, as Deanna integrates into their lives, Sophie grows wary of her intentions. Although Deanna presents herself as a supportive figure, Sophie's observations reveal concerning behaviors that suggest possible ulterior motives.

Sophie grapples with feelings of maternal inadequacy and questions her choices. The narrative unfolds from her viewpoint, illustrating her mental turmoil and the gaslighting inflicted by both her daughter and the tutor. As the tension mounts, Sophie confronts her anxieties regarding Deanna's potential encroachment on her life, exacerbated by her insecurities and the pressure to uphold the illusion of a perfect family. The plot is replete with unexpected turns that keep readers intrigued about Deanna's true character and motivations.

The story reaches a climactic twist that defies expectations, culminating in a riveting conclusion. While the narrative pacing varies—occasionally slowing for backstory—the overall engagement remains intact. J.M. Dalgliesh's debut in psychological thrillers features well-crafted characters and a compelling plot, leaving readers anticipating further works from the author, despite lingering questions.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a thrilling ride from start to finish! The various perspectives kept me hooked, and the suspense was palpable throughout. The ending was particularly wild, filled with twists I didn’t see coming. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, another surprise would pop up. This is my first book by this author, and I enjoyed their writing style.

This book started off slow and I found it didnt hold my interest. It was unrealistic in parts and I was disappointed in the ending. I liked it but I couldnt say I loved it.

Highly reminiscent of The Housemaid.
I liked the story and the characters. Loved the way it was impossible to tell who's the baddie.
The author definitely keeps the reader guessing until the end.

Sophie has an amazing life, a great home, a loving husband and two kids. Except, she doesn't.
Her daughter Katie has been acting up both at school and in the home. She is lovely with everyone else in the home except for Sophie, and she doesn't understand just where she went wrong. Is she a bad mother? Did she do something to trigger this bad behaviour?
Things have come to a head when Katie sets a fire in school and so is permanently expelled. The word is out so no other school will take her either.
As a last resort her husband Scott, hires a private tutor for Katie. However, Sophie feels that Deanna is slowing taking over her life. Katie loves Deanna, as does everyone else in the household it seems, but Sophie has reservations.
She catches Deanna nosying in Scotts sacred office, and is worrying that she is getting just a bit too close to him. he daughter loves her, and her son is taking more than a passing interest in her too.
I won't write any more about the plot because I don't want to spoil things for the reader, but things go from bad to worse as the story unfolds.
You're in for a huge surprise with the ending!! I didn't see that coming!!
A fanstastic book, that I thoroughly enjoyed.
