Book Review: "The Younger Wife" by Sally Hepworth

Sally Hepworth's upcoming book, The Younger Wife, is a slow-burn domestic suspense novel that had me totally hooked as it unfolded!⁣

⁣ It’s a familiar story: older man meets a woman young enough to be his daughter and embarks on a relationship with her as his adult daughters look on. And while that’s the case when Stephen, a successful heart surgeon, meets Heather, an interior designer, it’s not the full story.⁣

⁣ You see, Stephen is still married to Pamela. But with her suffering from dementia, it’s not wrong for him to move on, right? And while his daughters, Tully and Rachel, are unhappy with the turn of events, they realize that Heather might not be as bad as they originally thought.⁣

⁣ This is a story where everyone has secrets. And it’s the secrets that might lead to someone’s undoing. But what is the truth?⁣

⁣ Hepworth knows how to create tension and drama, and The Younger Wife proves why she’s an auto-buy author for me. And did you know that Heather won a Bookstagram contest Hepworth had so one of the characters in the book is named for her? That was crazy seeing a friend’s name as a character.

⁣ ⁣ This is more suspense than thriller but it’s quite addictive. Thanks to my friend Phil for sharing his ARC with me!!

The book will be released 4/5/22.⁣
