His Last Wife

I don't know how to feel about this one. I definitely didn't see the twists coming, but that's because it all seemed insanely implausible. I can suspend disbelief for a good thriller, but this really seemed far fetched.

I just finished His Last Wife An unbelievably gripping psychological thriller with a heart-stopping twist by Ruhi Choudhary and Narrated by Penelope Rawlins and Kelly Burke and here are my thoughts.


When Anna meets Cary at her place of work, she cannot help feeling drawn to him. Handsome and calm. When she meets his little girl Harper, everything falls into place.
When Cary moves Anna into the house he used to share with his ex, there is a room she isn't allowed in. Presley was abducted from her car in the driveway of the house she just moved into and she feels like she has to be the new Presley.
Everything is going as well as can be expected until Anna finds Presley's diary. The more she reads and the more the neighbors talk... the more she realizes Cary lied about where Presley was when she went missing and that Cary might not be the man he pretends he is.
The narrators were brilliant! I loved how they took on the personas of the two POVs. It was so well done and I was super engaged with it.

YIKES!!! This book was a serious mindbender. I don't normally add TW but this book is heavy on the DV - Domestic violence. It's well done but hard to hear. It's one of those books that has layers upon layers of insanity but without being super farfetched. My jaw dropped at the ending. I couldn't believe it. Just when you think you know who the monster is... You don't and then you don't and OMG no you don't.

The characters all have something about them and you never really know who you can trust. I got major creeper vibes and that doesn't normally happen to me with thrillers. I was gripped. I listened to it from start to finish. I couldn't stop.

It was one heck of a ride and I was kind of glad it was over. I had a huge book hangover after it. That's the best way for thrillers to be. It took ages to shake off and I highly recommend this one to any and all thriller lovers

5 stars!!
