Jess Ryder
2018
2/5 stars
After a brief affair with rich, married Nick, Natasha finds herself in a perfect life as his wife and mother to their daughter, Emily. The only flaw in Natasha's beautiful new world is Nick's ex-wife, Jen, who haunts them and seems determined to win him back. However, it turns out that Jen was the least of her worries, and that Nick was not the man Natasha had imagined. She finds herself in a nightmare, with her beloved daughter at the apex, and uncertain who in her life can be trusted.
For a novel that proclaims itself to be "a nail biting gripping psychological thriller", the Ex-Wife turned out to be a bit of a yawn. It had great potential, and there were a few surprises early on that kept me listening when I was about to give up on it. However, nothing gripping happened, and though there were some twists and turns, it just fizzled out in the end. I would certainly not read another "thriller" by Ryder.
