Synopsis
Rebecca didn’t know love was possible until she met Paul, a man with a past as dark as her own. Their demons drew them together, but twenty years later, the damage and secrets that ignited their love begin to consume their marriage.
When Paul catches the attention of the police after two women go missing, Rebecca discovers his elaborate plot to build a new life without her. And though Rebecca is quickly spiralling out of control, it doesn’t stop her from coming up with her own devastating plan for revenge… they made a promise to each other, afterall.
Review
The Woman Inside is the work of two New York authors, and it seems that two heads can be better than one. This is a fast paced psychological thriller about a relationship that is failing due to secrets, lies, infidelity and addiction to the point of destruction. The plot is split into three parts and mainly narrated in the first person by Rebecca and Paul, with the occasional chapter by other characters who I won’t name as it may give too much away. As narrators, both are highly unreliable; Rebecca is addicted to prescription drugs occasionally mixed with alcohol that cause blackouts and false memories, Paul is keeping secrets, having affairs and seems to have a hidden agenda. The book flits between past and present, building up to an event that is the catalyst for the implosion of their marriage.
The Woman Inside is a rollercoaster of a ride that once on, you won’t want to get off. The different time lines split the plot from what is a happy marriage at the beginning, to the suspense, drama and tension of their present situation. There aren’t many likeable characters in this book, all seem corrupt, flawed and self centred, and ultimately unreliable, so you are never sure whether trust their recounting of events. The writers keep the tension and unease throughout the book, and if I’m honest I never knew quite where this book was going. There are a lot of variables that could take the book in many different directions that keep you guessing through to the dramatically dark final pages.
I found The Woman Inside to be a compelling, dark and intelligent read. The damaged characters, the underlying sense of danger and the many twists and turns makes this a chilling and compelling read. This is a gripping psychological thriller that you won’t forget in a hurry; twisted and dark, I loved it.
May I show your article on Facebook? It’s very well-written 😀
Think about investments that supply immediate annuities.
Thanks for the ideas you write about through your blog. In addition, numerous young women exactly who become pregnant never even make an effort to get medical care insurance because they dread they wouldn’t qualify. Although a few states now require that insurers give coverage irrespective of the pre-existing conditions. Charges on these types of guaranteed options are usually larger, but when thinking about the high cost of medical treatment it may be a new safer strategy to use to protect your current financial future.
Do you want to expand on that? :p
