About this deal

The lost wife' was fun to read and I want to say a big thank you to @netgalley for this review copy! There's not a great deal of happiness in The Lost Wife, not exactly what you'd expect with a wedding in the offing.

The plot is conveyed beneath a veil of claustrophobia in this somewhat grim novel since everyone is imprisoned in their own private emotional universe. Even a smidgeon of kindness and childlike innocence fails to untie this Gordian knot.When I found out who you really were, I surprised you, didn't I? That's why we're here, because your favourite thing about me was that, as you said, 'You're always full of surprises.' You underestimated me, Harry, made me your puppet, satisfied me when I needed satisfying, but you went too far, and so did I. We never should have gotten married; that day should never have been allowed to happen. I guess if we spoke, if we used words, it wouldn't have. Because our worst trait, our shared deplorable quality, is that we're liars, to each other and to ourselves. This is my first time reading a book by Georgina Lees and all I can say is WOW! From cover to cover, I was hooked.’⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would like to thank GeorginaLees, #Netgalley and #OneMoreChapter for an ARC of #TheLostWife in exchange for an honest review. It should have been have been the happiest day of their lives. They should have had a lifetime of happiness together. But at the end of the wedding, she is fleeing her husband covered in blood…

The brand new edge-of-your-seat thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl Upstairs You always underestimated me and I always overestimated you. Fantastic book! Big praise to the author because I did not see that coming! Fantastic plot and well written. Could not put it down.’⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ms. Lees has been working a career in video-games journalism, dialing into the world’s most popular video games. In her spare time she is, of course, writing books, but also playing games and reading, preferring stories that are 50/50 terrifying and emotional. Ms. Lees is partial to fantasy and crime fiction. Georgina Lees was born writing, or so it seems. She started as a little girl scribbling in notepads, graduating to pounding on keyboards. At university, she started fulfilling her destiny by studying creative writing and also film. If you enjoy evenly-paced, character-driven thrillers featuring characters that might not always be likeable, then you may enjoy this novel.

The present is set during Lea and Harry's wedding day and is about a woman on the run. I can't say too much about this, but you feel that certain things are not right. I found the atmosphere mysterious and the tension was slowly built up. The alternation between the past and the present was nice, but I found the plot a bit disappointing, despite a number of plot twists.It’s difficult to give a thorough review of this book without giving away major plot points, but I definitely didn’t see the end coming! Despite this, ‘The Lost Wife’ remains a thrilling read, wherein Georgina Lees masterfully weaves a tale of secrets and lies that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the characters. Readers searching for a psychological thriller that challenges them to wrestle with the complexities of human deceit and betrayal will find this novel a satisfying addition to their library. MY THOUGHTS: I really wanted to love this, just as I loved this author's previous book, The Girl Upstairs, but unfortunately it just didn't happen. Art is trying to help Mimi find love in the tune of an altrgorohim. I found this an easy read but wasn't truly invest I'm the characters. For me the pacing is slow and I haven't felt a connect to Mimi or Art. I feel at times this book is a bit long winded. I was excited to read the book because I liked the premise. Unfortunately, I had difficulty with this book. OK, so firstly, THAT alone brings the rating down for me. Why kill an animal so brutally? Why kill it at all? To me, it is senseless. I know it fitted in with the context of the story and by the end it did make a whole lot of sense but still...killing a dog, let alone bashing its head in with a shovel, is a big no no and my rating down will reflrect this.
