<\/strong><\/p><\/center> <\/p>\n My family gathers around the large oak table in our beautifully renovated home. I\u2019ve put on a dress and lit candles, and there\u2019s a wonderful aroma coming from the dinner you\u2019ve so lovingly prepared. I feel your hand squeeze mine as you top up my glass and ask about my day as a doctor in our small town. It\u2019s the perfect domestic scene, except for one tiny fact: I think my husband is dead, and you are just another patient of mine\u2026<\/p>\n I had no choice but to let you in. If I laugh at your jokes and run my fingers through your hair, maybe I can delete the photos on your phone and find the truth about the night I can\u2019t remember, just before my husband left on the trip he never returned from. Perhaps my son and I will have a chance at a normal life again.<\/p>\n But as I carefully piece together the shards of what really happened that fateful night, only one thing can possibly be true: everyone is lying, even me\u2026 <\/p>\n <\/p> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p><\/center> <\/p>\n After reading The Liar’s Wife<\/a><\/em> I was excited to see that Ms. Hayes had a new book out and that I had to get my hands on a copy.<\/p>\n I found the first third of the book to be very slow. And I have to be honest that a couple of times, I was thinking of putting this one aside. But my gut told me to keep going, especially after checking out some reviews that had been posted.<\/p>\n Then the second third of the book I felt that I had figured the plot out, but I had to keep reading to see if I was right. Was I?<\/p>\n Then BAM!!! The last third of the book was so suspenseful that I couldn’t read, nor turn the pages fast enough!!! The story continued at breakneck speed that I found myself holding my breath<\/p>\n The conclusion was hair raising that I finished reading it with my mouth wide open because it was so unexpected. <\/p>\n Ms. Hayes has written another great read!!! Now I wait for her next novel!!<\/p>\n Would I recommend this book? Absolutely!!!<\/p>\n Purchase Links:<\/b> Amazon<\/a> 🔗 | Barnes & Noble 🔗<\/a> | Goodreads 🔗<\/a><\/p>\n I received a complimentary copy from XXX via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p> <\/p>\n <\/p><\/center> <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Trapped Wife by Samantha Hayes Genre: Psychological Thriller Published by Bokouture Publication Date: September 8, 2021 ASIN: \u200e B0977J5ZBG Pages: 354 Review Copy From: Bookouture via NetGalley Edition: Kindle My Rating: 4 Synopsis (via GR) My family gathers around the large oak table in our beautifully renovated home.
