The Other Wife by Michael RobothamMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Childhood sweethearts William and Mary have been married for sixty years. William is a celebrated surgeon, Mary a devoted wife. Both have a strong sense of right and wrong.
This is what their son, Joe O'Loughlin, has always believed. But when Joe is summoned to the hospital with news that his father has been brutally attacked, his world is turned upside down. Who is the strange woman crying at William's bedside, covered in his blood - a friend, a mistress, a fantasist or a killer?
Against the advice of the police, Joe launches his own investigation. As he learns more, he discovers sides to his father he never knew - and is forcibly reminded that the truth comes at a price.
A good thriller that kept me hooked from the beginning. Lots of twists and secrets gradually spilled. I read it in a couple of days while on holiday. I didn't realise it was actually part of a series (#9!) but it can easily be read as a stand alone. I will be looking out for other titles from this author.
