My Darling Husband by Kimberly Belle
Synopsis.
Bestselling author of DEAR WIFE and THE MARRIAGE LIE, Kimberly Belle returns with her most heart-pounding thriller to date, as a masked home invader reveals the cracks in a marriage.
Everyone is about to know what her husband isn’t telling her…
Jade and Cam Lasky are by all accounts a happily married couple with two adorable kids, a spacious home and a rapidly growing restaurant business. But their world is tipped upside down when Jade is confronted by a masked home invader. As Cam scrambles to gather the ransom money, Jade starts to wonder if they’re as financially secure as their lifestyle suggests, and what other secrets her husband is keeping from her.
Cam may be a good father, a celebrity chef and a darling husband, but there’s another side he’s kept hidden from Jade that has put their family in danger. Unbeknownst to Cam and Jade, the home invader has been watching them and is about to turn their family secrets into a public scandal.
With riveting twists and a breakneck pace, My Darling Husband is an utterly compelling thriller that once again showcases Kimberly Belle’s exceptional talent for domestic suspense.
The Review
My Darling Husband
Kimberly Belle
Taut at times, hesitant at others. Tense, quick, and rushed at times, leisurely and tepid at others.
There are multiple timelines and povs and DAMN it’s hard to do.
This one suffers from inequality of pacing between the timelines. I’m in the current timeline and the pacing, intensity, and tone are different from the past timeline. Which is high tension, anxiety-inducing, and whispers of Karin Slaughters Pretty Girls.
In the current, there is jest and humor. In the past, you want to piss your pants. It’s jarring and isn’t effective.
The tension does not carry.
It doesn’t carry because I don’t care. Which is a completely different problem.
So the negatives are character-building, empathy, and pacing. A positive is at least half of the book was enjoyable…at times.
