My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney This is a great and twisty read, though it's also very bizarre indeed. I really loved the vibe between Birdy & Carter, both of whom were wonderful characters. It's a real page-turner and the plot races along. Enjoyed the end twist too! #bookreview #crimefiction

An okay read but not Mansell's best. I liked the women characters, but the men were pretty poor, I have to admit - they seemed to have a nasty edge I didn't much warm to. In addition, Still, the writing is good, but I can't recommend this one. Sorry! #bookreview
