Warning, this dark psychological thriller may keep you up
for nights after reading it! THE INNOCENT WIFE written by
Amy Lloyd was such a mind twister that I'm
sure it will stick with me for days. Lloyd's main characters
are both abnormal in
their own ways, making my head spin as I tried to figure out
what would happen next. Samantha is a woman that seems very
unsure of herself and lacks
confidence. Dennis seems, at times, to not know what he
wants, but at other
times comes across so sure of himself. Mix these two
together and they play off each other well in this storyline.
Samantha is a woman who has been obsessed in Dennis Danson's
murder
case. She lives in England and has followed his case so
closely that she started
writing to him. He found her letters different from the
others, so he started
writing back. They both fell in love with each other and
then married while he
was still in prison for the brutal crime of murdering a
young girl. Years later
he is found not guilty and is released to live his life free
with his new wife.
Samantha will find out things that will shock her to her
core, leaving her to
wonder if she knows her new husband at all.
I enjoyed reading THE INNOCENT WIFE. The only thing that I
did not like that
much is the fact that Samantha seems like a woman with too
low self-esteem to be
mixed up with a man in prison. I guess I like novels that
have women with a
little bit more self-assurance. However, if she did, then
this novel would
have had a total different outcome. If you love
psychological thrillers, then Amy
Lloyd's THE INNOCENT WIFE is one you will want to read. The
suspense itself will
keep you committed to finishing it.
Twenty years ago, Dennis Danson was arrested and
imprisoned for the brutal murder of a young girl. Now
he’s the subject of a true-crime documentary that’s
whipping up a frenzy online to uncover the truth and free
a man who has been wrongly convicted.
A thousand miles away in England, Samantha is obsessed
with Dennis’s case. She exchanges letters with him, and
is quickly won over by his apparent charm and kindness to
her. Soon she has left her old life behind to marry him
and campaign for his release.
When the campaign is successful and Dennis is freed,
however, Sam begins to discover new details that suggest
he may not be quite so innocent after all.
But how do you confront your husband when you don’t want
to know the truth?
