She’s on trial for murder… Now it’s her turn to tell her story…
The truth is that I loved James with my whole heart. We were soulmates: meant to be together forever. On the morning of our wedding, I had just found out I was carrying his child.
But it’s time to tell my side of the story. It’s time everyone knew what happened on that wedding day, on our honeymoon, and on that fateful last drive together. It’s time everyone found out about the secrets and about the threat that loomed over our marriage. It’s time everyone found out who really killed James.
And I need everyone to believe me. To believe I’m not a killer. Because if they don’t, then my baby won’t just have no father… she’ll have no mother.
John Nicholl's books always hook me from the start with a wonderfully tense and gripping storyline and The Bride is no exception. I absolutely loved it and couldn't wait to discover Daisy's story and find out what had happened to her new husband, James.
The tension is palpable throughout as Daisy tells her story about how she so quickly went from being a bride to a widow. We meet Daisy, widowed and pregnant, when she is remanded in prison and writing her story for her unborn child. As if that wasn't enough of a hook, the mysterious circumstances surrounding her new husband's disappearance and subsequent death had me doubly hooked.
I loved how the book is written in Daisy's voice and it really felt as if she was speaking out loud to me as I was reading. You can't help but feel sorry for her when her happy days as a newlywed are cut so devastatingly short. I couldn't read fast enough to find out what had happened to James and how Daisy has ended up on trial for murder. I had many theories and I'm delighted to say that all of them were wrong!
Addictive, twisty and tense, The Bride is an incredibly gripping psychological thriller that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour; this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
