Patrick and his wife Stephanie are struggling with parenthood. Their infant twins are colicky and neither one of them has slept a full night since their birth. They are exhausted and not thinking clearly. And then Patrick has somebody from his past show up at work. Erica Voss had been his first wife's best friend, but Patrick had cut ties with Erica after his wife died in a tragic accident. But Erica is making the accusation that her death was no accident, first, she demands money. And then she goes to the police. Patrick has been completely honest with Stephanie about everything from the moment that Erica shows up. Will Stephanie believe him and stand by him or will Erica Voss tear their marriage apart?
It has been a long time since I have been able to sit down and read a book from start to finish in one sitting. This snow Sunday morning was the perfect opportunity to do so. The story was gripping. Stephanie and Patrick seemed like the perfect couple with the perfect life. Yes, they were exhausted from dealing with colicky twins, but that would pass. Or so their doctor said. And then Erica Voss walked into their lives. Erica was the perfect villain. She was a blonde bombshell who was cunning and evil. As she puts pressure on Patrick and their perfect life, you can see the foundation start to crack. I was really surprised by the twists at the end of the book. And there were a few of them. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - The End of Her is one of the better mystery novels that I have read recently. The story is fresh, the characters are real, and the twists will leave you speechless.
