My Husbands Lies - Liz Lawler

The police are coming, they’re going to arrest me.’ My blood runs cold at his words. My husband is accused of murder. He swears he is innocent – so why won’t he tell me where he really was that night?

I feel so lucky to have my handsome husband Mark and our blue-eyed little boy. Everyone says we’re the perfect family. I used to believe them.

But everything changes when Mark comes home from a work trip with dark circles under his eyes. That night I jump at a hammering at the door. The police want to question him about the murder of a beautiful, blonde young woman. Mark swears he had nothing to do with it, that she was a colleague, nothing more.

Mark is a respected airline pilot, and the model husband and father. It seems impossible that he would be involved in something like this. But he won’t say a word about where he really was. I believe that he’s not a killer – but I know he’s hiding something. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Then my husband is attacked. I sit by his hospital bed praying for him to wake up, tears streaming down my face. The police say it’s an accident. But what if someone has done this to him?

I go rigid with fear when I see someone hidden in the garden, watching the house. Are they coming to hurt us too? I’ll do anything to protect my precious little boy – and I have to start by uncovering my husband’s lies...

An unbelievably tense and twisty psychological thriller that will leave you breathless for more! Perfect for fans of Kathryn Croft, T.M. Logan and Ruth Heald.

My Review

My Husband's Lies certainly keeps you turning the pages and trying to find out what's going to happen next. When her husband is accused of murder, Kate just can't believe that he has anything to do with it and try and she might to prove that, it isn't long before her whole life seems set to come tumbling down around her ears.
I'm as willing as the next man to suspend disbelief a little when it comes to murder mysteries and thrillers. I'll happily accept that one person seems to spend their whole life stumbling over dead bodies, or that something unplausable might happen to move a thriller along at breakneck speed. But I do have my limits and it seems that My Husband's Lies found them. It's not that it's completely unbelievable or anything, but I think that Kate might just be one of the stupidest characters I've ever come across. I was drawn into her story, but couldn't help almost shouting at the book: 'No! Don't do that!' She didn't seem to want to listen to me though.
This was a good read and well-written. It would have got more stars if I hadn't found Kate to be such a complete fool. she did seem to bring a lot of things on herself.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
