It wasn’t until that night that I found out he had been cheating. I never would have guessed it of Ralph – I was still head over heels in love with him then. I would have done anything for my husband… that is, until I found out what he was really hiding.

The night it happened, I was late home from a parent-teacher conference. Things hadn’t been the same between us recently and I was hoping we could start over – make things right over a bottle of wine and an early night like the old days. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I sometimes think I never really knew Ralph at all. Because I never thought he’d be capable of doing what he did. It wasn’t only dangerous, it was very, very wrong. And I’m not talking about the affair with Laura.

As I said, I came home that night hoping to finally fix things with the man I love. The very last thing I expected was to find my husband murdered.

No marriage is ever what it seems from the outside. A compulsively unputdownable domestic thriller from a USA Today bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Silent Wife.



MY REVIEW:

The Mistress by Jill Childs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ralph was having an affair with another teacher,Laura. One night he invites Laura to his home, while his wife is out. Then tragedy strikes home. Ralph dies and Laura and his wife, Helen, cover it up. They should be at each other;s throat and throwing each other under the bus but they work together. As the story goes on we find out what kind of person Ralph is. Then an investigator for Ralph's life insurance keeps popping up and he has a lot of questions.
Laura seems to struggle with what happened while Helen wants to move on with their daughter.
I want to thank Bookouture and NetGalley for the ARC to review. 

Jill always loved writing – real and imaginary – and spent thirty years travelling the world as a journalist, living overseas and reporting wherever the news took her. She's now made her home in south-west London with her husband and twin girls who love stories as much as she does. Although she's covered everything from earthquakes and floods, wars and riots, she's decided some of the most extraordinary stories are right here at home - in the secrets and lies she imagines behind closed doors on ordinary streets just like yours.
