'Hello, stranger,' says the beautiful woman on the doorstep. Pushing past me, she throws herself into my husband's arms while I stand frozen in shock. I've never seen this woman before in my life... but how does she know the man I married?
The colour drains from my husband's face as she releases him. When Ted says her name - Alice - my blood runs cold. Because I've heard her name before. Alice is the woman who broke my kind husband's heart. Ted told me she vanished from his life after their breakup, but has he been lying this whole time?
I stare at him in disbelief, but he swears he never invited her. Can I believe him? Whatever actually happened, I want her out of my house... but as thunder cracks and the sky turns dark, a huge storm sets in. We're stuck here: is this my chance to discover the truth?

I loved My Husband's Ex. This is the kind of thriller I love, full of twists and turns, red herrings, secrets and misdirection. It was a real treat to read. My Husband's Ex is the definition of a page turner and I couldn't stop reading once I started because I was so engrossed. I loved the setting, a remote cabin in my home country of Scotland, the perfect place for threats to be lurking. The book was very dark at times, a good thing and exactly the kind of book I enjoy reading. I could not put this book down. I'd recommend it.
