Emily was never looking for "Mr. Right" until she met Adam. They met in a bar; Emily was there with a group of her friends and Adam, just came up and introduced himself. Emily had always preferred to go to work, go home, and spend time with her friends Pippa and Seb... Until Adam became a part of her life.

Now she spends all of her time with Adam, and they soon decide to move in together. Emily really wants to meet his family, and after much hesitation, Adam introduces Emily to his mother, Pamela. At first, Emily likes Adams mother, but things begin to change when they get engaged. Emily notices little things at first, but as the wedding draws closer, it seems like Pamela wants to be the center of attention.

Emily also meets James, Adams brother, who is very laid back and a welcome change to Pamela. Adam, however, is not crazy about this, and he feels like his mother is pushing James on Emily. Why would his own mother try to pit his own brother against him?

Then, when Pamela makes a devastating announcement, Emily feels caught. Adam starts acting distant and drinking more, while James continues to pursue her, and Pamela seems to be lurking in the background... Will Emily discover the true motives behind this strange family?

Wow, THE OTHER WOMAN by Sandie Jones is a great mystery novel. I never could figure out who was lying and who was trying to protect Emily. The ending was a complete shock. I guess you never really can know anyone. I truly enjoyed this book. I also liked the interaction between Emily and her friends. Additionally, Adam was a well developed and dynamic character. Who knew what evil lurked in his mind? Pick up THE OTHER WOMAN for a riveting mystery to read.
