Ratings and reviews

Very creepy, good but weird. Too much mention of wine all the time-. Lea was not a likeable character and I felt no sympathy for her whatsoever. She was portrayed as so self-obssessed. Little Josh pulled at my heartstrings. The ending was totally unexpected but I didn't much care for it. I much preferred Georgina's other two novels but have given the book 4 stars because I think it deserved them, be it for the fact that I had to know what would happen next.

The Lost Wife by Georgina Lees is a disorientating, gripping, twisted psychological thriller. This book oscillates between past and present events that will keep the reader on their toes. This approach compliments the high-stakes, tense unfolding of events between Harry & Lea. Obsession, deceit, and secrets shock this relationship. Georgina Lees delivers a shocking ending that I couldn't have predicted.Thank you, NetGalley & HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, for giving me an ARC.

Its a book you can't put down. Really good twist at the end, which certainly makes it an enjoyable read.
