THE WOMAN INSIDE is a great suspense novel by E.G. Scott. This one really threw me, and I didn't see a lot of what ended up happening actually coming. I was shocked by most of it. The book was a little slow in parts, but not for long. It goes back and forth from before and after. In the beginning, I thought I had already figured things out, but I was wrong, and that is the mark of a good suspenseful novel to me. Pick this one up, I really enjoyed the twists and turns.
An impossible-to-put-down domestic thriller about secrets
and revenge, told from the perspectives of a husband and
wife who are the most perfect, and the most dangerous, match
for each other
Rebecca didnβt know love was possible until she met Paul, a
successful, charismatic, married man with a past as dark as
her own. Their pain drew them together with an irresistible
magnetism; they sensed that they were each otherβs ideal
(and perhaps only) match.
But twenty years later, Paul and Rebecca are drowning as the
damage and secrets that ignited their love begin to consume
their marriage. Paul is cheating on Rebecca, and his affair
gets messy fast. His mistress is stalking them with growing
audacity when Rebecca discovers Paulβs elaborate plan to
build a new life without her. And though Rebecca is
spiraling into an opiate addiction, it doesnβt stop her from
coming up with a devious plot of her own, and this one could
end absolutely everything.
What follows is an unpredictable and stylish game of cat and
mouseβa shocking tale of unfaithfulness and unreliability
that will keep you racing until the final twist and make you
wonder how well you really know your spouse.
