The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth
4.0
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

I really enjoyed this book. I liked how it started with the wedding scene, setting up a big what happened and then went back to the beginning. It kept me on high alert looking for all of the potential motives. I dont think the ending was a big shock, definitely saw the Who did it and What happened coming but I did not see the Why.
the main thing that bugged me was that at the end of the book the sisters were still worried they made a mistake and were wrong about Stephen's Abuse. I can understand not wanting to believed that of your father but they Saw it happen. And even if he was never physically Abusive to them the few flashbacks we get from Tullys childhood shows he was definitely not a all-around great dad they thought him to be.

I liked the little bit we get to see from Pam's POV because it explained the money found and the note. It was definitely interesting to see just a tad from her perspective.
