My husband has been keeping secrets for a long time. He thinks I don’t know what he does outside of this house. But I know everything… Karla watches silently as Jason hurriedly packs his belongings into a suitcase. She knows that her stillness is unnerving him as she watches his every move from the doorway of their bedroom.
Clothes are screwed up and packed into the case, along with a watch she bought him for his last birthday and his precious laptop. He takes everything from his bedside table. Everything except the framed wedding photo, which now stands alone. Karla strains to see the smiling faces in the photo. If only she knew then what she knows now.
‘I’ve fallen in love with someone else,’ he’d said to her, just moments earlier. The brutality of those words hit Karla hard and she struggled to breathe as she took in each word in turn.
You may think you know what Karla will do next. But you’ll be wrong. Because Karla isn't who you think she is. Only she knows what's about to happen. And you will never see it coming.
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller for readers who loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Other Woman. With twists you’ll never see coming, you will not be able to put this one down!
Sheryl Browne is a local Worcestershire author and I have read most of her books and really enjoy every book. Her writing style is getting better and better with every book she releases and The Marriage Trap is no exception.
'The Marriage Pact' is a great psychological thriller which keeps the reader on the edge of their seat throughout with many twists and turns along the way and has a satisfying, and unexpected ending which I loved and did not expect.
Sheryl Browne will be taking part in a Crime Panel event at The Hive, Worcester along with Carla Kovach and Sue Watson on Thursday 17th October at 7pm.
Thank you to the publishers, Bookouture, for inviting me to take part in their Books on Tour and a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
