My husband made a terrible mistake. Now our children are missing…
This should be the trip of a lifetime – a week in New York with my family. As we stroll along the Hudson River, drinking coffee in the sunshine, anyone would think we’re the perfect family. But the truth is far more complicated.
I’ve been on edge the whole time because fifteen years ago when we were living in this city my husband Jack did something that ripped our lives apart. I swore I would never come back here, but Jack insisted.
One afternoon, in the blur of a crowd, I lose sight of my son. I can’t find him anywhere. Frantic, I call my husband. But what he tells me next shakes me to the core…
My daughter’s gone missing too.
I end the conversation, my whole body shaking with fear. As I’m desperately searching for my children, the phone rings – it’s an anonymous number.
The hard voice at the other end gives me an ultimatum: kill my husband or my children will die.
The clock is ticking. Can I save my family in time?
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller filled with shock twists from the number one bestselling author of The Doctor’s Wife. If you loved Gone Girl and The Night She Disappeared, you’ll be hooked by Her Husband’s Mistake.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Her Husband's Mistake' by Daniel Hurst.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Daniel Hurst, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 30th September 2023.
This is the fifth book I have read by this author. I have previously read 'The Doctor's Wife', 'My Daughter's Boyfriend', 'The Holiday Home' and 'The Doctor's Widow' and would highly recommend them all!!!
This novel consists of a prologue, 31 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short to medium in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
'Her Husband's Mistake' discusses some topics that may upset some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book Daniel discusses/includes suicide and threat to children.
AN ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE, THRILLING, UNPUTDOWNABLE HEART RACING AND EXPLOSIVE BOOK THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP LATE AT NIGHT UNTIL YOU TURN THE LAST PAGE!!
Wow!!! This book is fantastically written and had me hook, line and sinker from beginning to end. The descriptions were so in depth and vivid that the hair on my arms was standing on the ends and my heart was pounding throughout. The synopsis, title and cover were perfect for the storyline.
Another HUGE success by the extremely talented Daniel Hurst!! Daniel is one of those extremely talented authors who has written so many books but yet each one I have read has been just as gripping,unique and explosive as the next!! How he does it I have no idea but whatever you are doing Daniel, keep doing it!!! I absolutely loved this unique page turning explosive page turner. I was absolutely absorbed throughout this psychological thriller. It is filled with tension, drama, family, suspense, lies, deceit, romance, secrets, love, and omg the twist!!! I DID NOT see the twists coming at all and there were more than one!!! Just when I think everything had been worked out and things were settling down BOOM there was another bombshell!! A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS Daniel!! It is getting harder and harder to shock me but by God you did that over and over and over!!! What an ending!!! One of the most gripping unputdownable nerve wracking psychological thrillers I have EVER read!!! You have one hell of a talent and I cannot wait to get hold of your previous and future books in this series. I cannot remember the last time I was so hooked by a book but you managed that big time!!! I loved that the book is told from different perspectives and each of their stories/chapters were perfectly weaved together to show us everything that is going on and how each of the characters are thinking and feeling throughout. The storyline is filled with shocks, suspense, tension, deceit, and everything you could ask for in a psychological thriller!!. There was so much going on and it was very fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. The surrounding atmosphere was absolutely perfect and the narrative ensures you are completely absorbed into the storyline with the characters coming to life all around you thanks to Daniel's evocative writing skills and Tamsin and Nathaniel's amazing narratives. If you are ever in a reading slump then any of Daniels books are guaranteed to pull you out of it!!!! I lost count how many times I had funny looks shouting out don't do it as I was walking on the school run listening to this amazing book!! This is one of those books that I really can't say much about the storyline without giving anything away so I'll try to be very careful. It is definitely a thought provoking book and makes one you realise how one moment and one action can make such a massive difference in life. During the book there are so many butterfly affects which goes to show how one small action can have such a large ripple affect which could continue for years. My heart was absolutely in my throat during one moment, especially as a mother I can't imagine having to make that decision and I hope to God I would never have to. If I had to ..... Oops that's all I can say. Have I left you in suspense? Well you'll just have to pick up your copy and find out yourself!!! This book is absolutely addictive and I read it in one sitting. I absolutely loved the cliff hanging explosive twist at the end that leaves you wanting more! It kept me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails with my heart absolutely pounding throughout especially at the end! I really am looking forward to the next book by this extremely talented author. A gripping, all consuming addictive page turner!!!
Clear your schedule before you start as I read this in one sitting as I could not put it down!! Practically every chapter ended on a cliff hanger so no way could I put it down!! Absolutely hooked!! I would absolutely love to see this turned into a movie!!!!
This is one of the few books that I have listened to 100% on Audiobook. If I listen to a book on audiobook I usually also read the physical book between but for the second time I listened to the whole book and I was impressed! I must say a HUGE congratulations to the narrators Nathaniel Priestley and Tamsin Kennard who both did an amazing job bringing this story and the characters to life. I have previously listened to 'Her First Child' by Sheryl Browne, 'The Suspect' by Kathryn Croft and 'My Daughters Boyfriend' also by Daniel Hurst
that were all also narrated by Tamsin Kennard and I would highly recommend listening to or reading them all as it they re other fantastic page turners from other great authors!! I would listen to it in the car and while walking at any opportunity. I'm not only looking forward to reading more books by Daniel but also to listening to more books narrated by both Tamsin and Nathaniel!
The characters were all strong and realistic and thanks to Daniel's absolutely fantastic writing skills and Tamsin and Nathaniel's amazing narrative skills they all come to life when you are turning the pages. My heart went out to Lorna but not as much as it went out to their children Alex and Maddy but again.....I really can't say why or anything else in regards to the book itself as it's too easy to give anything away. Both Tamsin and Nathaniel were perfect to portray the voices of each of the characters helping me like or dislike the characters even more! I will stop here as I will give too much away if I say anymore and I really don't want to spoil it for future readers so I wont say anything else and let other readers make their own minds up about how they feel about the characters.. Regardless of whether you love or hate the characters they all worked perfectly together to make this an addictive and explosive storyline!!
This is exactly why you are one of my favourite male authors Daniel! An absolute must read author!! I cannot wait to read all your previous and future books!! Here's to your next success 🥂
Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the prologue of Daniel's 'The Couple In The Cabin' which promises to be just as gripping as this book and is one I'm definitely looking forward to reading myself!!!
Overall another absolutely heart racing, suspense filled, unputdownable addictive page turner psychological thriller filled with twists!
