If you loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl or The Couple Next Door then this dark, twisting psychological thriller from Amazon chart bestseller Jess Ryder is guaranteed to have you gripped. 

My Thoughts

The Ex-Wife is such a gripping read! From the intriguing prologue to the very end, the book kept me guessing throughout.

In addition to the unfolding revelations, I enjoyed the more in-depth look at some of the characters in the story. These lines “It’s impossible to tell what’s really going inside another person’s head. Everybody lives in a secret world of one.” resonated with me. The methods some characters used to create, and justify, their version of the narrative gave interesting insights into their personalities.

Highly recommended.
