Welcome to Winters End...
Winters End should have been the perfect place for me and my husband Neil to start again. To leave the terrible secrets and guilt of our past far behind us.
But from the moment we arrived in the small, isolated community, it becomes clear to me that we are not welcome here. That someone wants us to leave…
I’m certain that everyone knows our secrets – knows who we really are. But how can that be?
Perhaps it’s my mind playing tricks on me. Just like before.
I know Neil thinks I'm paranoid. My thoughts spiralling. Again.
If only I had someone else to talk to. Another woman to confide in.
And that’s when I realise something far more terrifying.
I am the only wife at Winters End…and I could be the last…
Now that's what I call a psychological thriller! I couldn't stop reading The Last Wife once I picked it up and I think it's one of J. A. Baker's best psychological thriller novels to date.
Fiona and Neil are heading off to the island of Winters End for a fresh start after leaving the mainland under a dark cloud of mistrust and scandal. The close knit community isn't very welcoming and a growing sense of unease envelops the reader as the story progresses. Something isn't right on this island and Fiona doesn't realise how much danger she is in...
I absolutely loved this book; it's so creepy and suspenseful. It's also one of those 'just one more chapter' kind of books with little cliff-hangers at the end of many of the chapters that compelled me to keep reading. The writing is so vivid that I could picture the fictional remote island of Winters End getting battered relentlessly by the North Sea
Hauntingly atmospheric, ominous and disturbing, The Last Wife is J.A. Baker at her very best and although it creeped me out from start to finish, I thoroughly enjoyed it. A highly recommended read.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
