From Little Stack
This book is so perfectly written in my eyes, so engrossing that it will have you wanting to reread as soon as you finish!
When Emma meets Matthew, a kind, handsome widower, he seems to be exactly what she needs. But as their relationship progresses, Emma’s friends worry she might be exploited. She is rich after all. She wonders if she’s second best, that Matthew wouldn’t be with her if his wife hadn’t died. Could she ever fill a dead woman’s shoes?
It’s a story of love, jealousy and obsession, and as time goes on, Emma doesn’t know who she can trust. Can she even trust herself? An intense and compelling psychological thriller with an unexpected but hugely satisfying ending.
Adele just gets better and better and First Wife's Shadow had me in a chokehold from beginning to end. The twists and the tension-building were spellbinding and masterfully done. A true five-star read.
An exhilarating psychological crime thriller that will have you racing to the finish!
