Description:
The moment Joanna told me she was engaged, I had this awful feeling that something was wrong.
We used to speak on the phone every day. Growing up I spent more time at her house than I did at my own. I’d always imagined what it would be like to see her get married, and now I didn’t even know her fiancé’s name.
She asked me to come and meet Mark and I intended to tell her to slow down. You can’t know someone for a month and be sure that you want to spend the rest of your lives together.
When I got to Joanna’s front door, only Mark was there. He was charming and gorgeous and nothing but nice to me, and I started to understand.
And then he told me that Joanna was missing.
The Bride is a twisty, unputdownable psychological thriller that will have you reading until late at night. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and anything by Lisa Jewell.
MY REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alice and Joanna had been best friends but why did they stop 10 years ago? Alice's fiance dumps her and she gets a txt from Joanna to come see her and meet her fiance. So Alice decides she needs a change of scenery and goes to visit Joanna. But Joanna isn't home and her fiance, Marc, didn't know Alice was coming. In fact Marc had never heard of Alice. Joanna starts getting uncomfortable in Joanna and Marc's home and feels she should leave. Marc begs her to stay and says Joanna is missing. They wait a few days and then contact the police. But their inquiries open up more questions. This kept me on the edge of my seat and even though I had an idea of what was going on, I didn't know why.

Wendy Clarke started her career writing short fiction and serials for national women's magazines. After having over three hundred short stories published, she progressed to writing novels. With a degree in psychology, and intrigued with how the human mind can affect behaviour, it was inevitable that she would eventually want to explore her darker side.
In her previous life, Wendy has published three collections of short stories and has been a short story judge for the Chiltern Writers Group, Nottingham Writers Group and The Society of Women Writers and journalists.
Wendy lives with her husband, cat and step-dog in Sussex and when not writing is usually dancing, singing or watching any programme that involves food
