Hunted.She knows they’re coming for her. It’s only a matter of time.Because her husband kept a secret from her. Until he was ready to destroy her.Now, it’s her turn. The Lost Wife by Georgina Lees – eBook Details The story unfolds through the alternating timelines of the present and respective months leading up to the present day. It follows Lea who has lived happily with Harry, the father of her four year old son Josh, for the past five years. Until someone plants the idea of marriage in her head. And Lea wants to know why Harry doesn't want to get married. Or is it that he just doesn't want to marry her? Until the night he surprises her by proposing. And then things slowly start to unravel as well as escalate. The Lost Wife is a slightly better than an okay read, but definitely doesn't live up to this author's first book. Beginning with a shadowy, unsettling scene of a desperate woman and child fleeing into the night, ‘The Lost Wife’ tugs at your curiosity right from the start. Written with an impressive chilling tone, the story is enthralling as it takes you on a roller coaster of unexpected twists and turns. The author smoothly transitions between timelines, providing an intriguing juxtaposition of how the past informs the fractured present.

We follow Lea and Harry through thier realtionships and some ups and downs we have chapter going to the past and in the present day. The description make this book very eerie as you are following these On the other hand, the novel has its shortcomings, primarily in the conclusion. The letter, intended to clarify and tie up loose ends, may leave some readers feeling unsatisfied. Instead of providing the hoped-for resolution, the letter’s explanatory nature detracts from the story. The loose ends have already been tied up and we didn’t need any further explanation, it felt unnecessary when readers had already formed their own conclusions from what had gone before, which provided a much more fitting end for the story. The author has written a relatively suspenseful novel, but spoiled by the amount of repetition it contains, and whingeing. Lordy, Lea is a whinger! 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,' is the saying that comes to mind. It is told over two timelines, the present and one year earlier.

Ms. Lees’s following thriller, After the Party, is an equally suspenseful, edgy book full of obsessions and secrets. Forever three years Lizzie has been in love with Dean. They are colleagues but he’s never given her a second look.

Somewhere in the Peak District, are a woman and a child. Being alone, scared, and persecuted. Can they escape the bad guys? What a twisty story! I genuinely had no idea how this was going to end! A dark domestic thriller, where nobody is who they seem. Easily Ms. Lees’ best one yet.’⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A woman and child arrive at Bramble Cottage in the Peak District in the dead of night. Alone. Desperate. And hunted. They are coming for her, she knows It's only a matter of time. All because of the secret her husband kept. 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. 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… I would like to thank GeorginaLees, #Netgalley and #OneMoreChapter for an ARC of #TheLostWife in exchange for an honest review. 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.

My first read by Lees and I would give her another read in the future. Just no killing of dogs, PLEASE!! 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. 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.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There was also a big twist which I actually hadn’t seen coming so that was well done and then the conclusion did manage to give me some closure but I wasn’t a fan of the letter. Overall this was a decent well written psychological thriller it just didn’t have any feel-good vibes to it so was equally quite depressing. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of The Lost Wife. In the present we meet a woman and a young boy who are on the run. They go to a holiday cottage in the Peak District. Their presence there seems to have been arranged before hand. The woman has little money, even less petrol, and is becoming more and more desperate. Also, she has a nasty knife wound on her arm. She dare not go to a hospital because someone is after her... The wound turns septic... The little boy, Josh, becomes more and more traumatized though the woman is trying to protect him.None of the characters are particularly likeable except for Lea's mum, although I did have, by the end, a modicum of liking for Felicity. The men are, by and large, terrible. I felt so very sorry for the child, Josh. No child deserves parents like his. 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. In the present, a woman arrives at a cottage on the run because her husband was a sneaky snake. And in the past, a woman comes to terms with the fact her husband isn't who she thinks she is. The characters in ‘The Lost Wife’ are what truly draw you into the story. Our protagonist is a flawed, yet utterly relatable woman, whose life has been turned upside down by her husband’s secret. As the story develops, it becomes evident that each of them is trapped within their own emotional turmoil, struggling against the grim reality of their lives. Watching these characters navigate the treacherous webs of deception adds a layer of tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I didn't like the letter at the end. It didn't really clarify anything and was totally unnecessary.
