Psychological Suspense Out Of The Top Drawer

The Wife In The Photo by Emily Shiner is an absolutely marvellous contemporary psychological thriller that had me hooked from the start.

I held on for dear life as the action twisted this way and that. I thought I had it all worked out – how wrong was I!

Our actions have consequences. We reap what we sow – or do we? Sometimes carefully laid plans come crashing down. Other times we might just get away with murder!

The Wife In The Photo is cleverly constructed and extremely well executed. The reader witnesses the murder in the opening scenes. The book is then written from before the murder and afterwards from several alternating points of view and also from diary entries.

Are monsters born? Or are they a product of their environment?
