"One missing child. One lying parent…
THE MOTHER. Watching my beautiful curly-haired baby Ava play in the sand, I can’t believe how much joy she’s brought me. When she goes missing, it’s the worst thing that could happen… but perhaps the shared pain of losing her will bring my ex-husband and me back together?
THE STEPMOTHER. Jimmy is only just separated, but his devotion to his darling daughter made me fall in love with him in an instant. I consider Ava my child now. Her disappearance is my chance to comfort Jimmy. To show him the sort of wife I can be, and how much his ex has let him down.
One woman is innocent, frantically searching for Ava, with no idea where she is.
The other cannot be trusted…
Fans of Liane Moriarty, Jodi Picoult, and Linda Green will be completely gripped by this jaw-dropping page-turner filled with heart-stopping, emotional twists."
"My husband’s dead. They say my best friend did it. I can’t believe it. Not Lisa. There’s no way she could have done something so terrible. I look around at her shaken family, her two devastated children and her shocked husband, as they watch the most important woman in their lives being arrested for murder… I always thought Lisa was the perfect wife and mother. We’ve been best friends ever since I moved to Dragonfly Close. Her children call me Auntie Vic, we’re always chatting, laughing, and sipping her homemade lemonade in our back gardens. She would never do anything like this. But then I remember the day I saw her at the coffee shop with Russell. That was the day I started watching her through the gap in my bedroom curtains and stole the key to her pristine house. I suspected she’d betrayed me, and maybe I was right. I don’t believe she killed my husband, but now I can make sure she pays for what she did to me…"
"I walk slowly to the kitchen counter, staring out the window as Ceci rocks back and forth on the swing. My beautiful darling girl has been through so much already. How can I tell her that her life is about to change forever?
When the woman from the hospital tells me that my husband Drew is in a coma my world comes crashing down.
In an instant, I see our whole married life flashing before my eyes: the way our children ran into his arms when he came home from work, the way his face lit up when he read to them. So how can what they are saying be true? That he might have done this to himself?
As my family rallies around to help, it becomes clear that Drew’s sister Gemma knows a shocking secret that my devoted husband has been keeping from me. If he wakes up, can he still be the man I love? Or will his secret tear our family apart?
A rollercoaster ride of emotions, Her Silent Husband is a story about family, and the light that can be found in even the darkest moments of our lives. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer and Diane Chamberlain will be captivated by this unforgettable page-turner.
