Reviews

It's gripping, it's disturbing and it's a page-turner * Goodreads Reviewer *
If there is a Plot Twist Award, it belongs to My Husband's Son. I never saw it coming, and I had to reread the ending three times to make sure I had not gone crazy. If you are looking for a fast-paced story with a gob-smacking twist, look no further, get this book * Chocolatenwaffles' Blog *
A stunning and unexpected ending will have you thinking about this book for a long time * Goodreads reviewer *
This was a really unique missing child story and I was engrossed from beginning to end. I was surprised at how quickly I read this book. I was determined to figure out who did what and why but had no luck in figuring it out and was surprised at what really happened (...)this was a really well written debut novel. A gripping and well-paced psychological thriller. And I was really shocked at the ending. Wow...what an epilogue (...)I really did enjoy this novel and I look forward to more from Deborah O'Connor * Goodreads reviewer *
When the truth, and its aftermath are revealed, readers will be left gasping. I admit, I had to go back and reread one section, because I couldn't quite believe it. This was an ending I never saw coming! * For the Love of Books *
