"The Prisoner's Wife was an easy weekend read. This memorable page turner provided some welcome escapism from the real world."
The Prisoner's Wife was an easy weekend read for me. I'm always on the lookout for something 'different' in crime fiction and this fit the bill perfectly. While the book is set against a backdrop of organised gangland crime, this is an intense yet entertaining psychological thriller, focusing on a woman desperate to get out of her dangerous marriage.
After a slowburning start to set the scene, the story moves quickly from one twist/reveal to the next. The vivid writing, tight plotting and varied cast of characters kept me immersed from beginning to end. I found myself eager to know what would happen next, and I could visualise the scenes in my head.
Not necessarily all believable, but this memorable page turner certainly provided some welcome escapism from the real world.
