Many thanks to my friends at @stmartinspress and @macmillan.audio for the #gifted copies.  

 

Brilliantly layered and full of intrigue. Hepworth delivers another page turner that I couldn't look away from.  

 

Two marriages.  On the outside, the very picture of perfection.  But secrets and betrayals leave us wondering: Are they truly soulmates?  

 

Compulsively readable.  With short chapters and alternating point of view, I found myself entrenched in this mystery, dedicated to unraveling the details.  The way Hepworth plays with perception is always a treat, and I found her skills superbly executed in this latest foray.  

 

And then there’s also something about the way she writes relationships and families.  The dialogue, the emotion, the miniscule details of home life.  There’s an authenticity to the characters as individuals as well as how they interact within the unit.  

 

I am a huge proponent of quality mental health representation, and in The Soulmate, Hepworth nails it.  There is a sensitivity to the execution alongside quality depiction of both illness and treatment.  

 

Hepworth knows how to captivate and never disappoints.  I’m confident The Soulmate will be eagerly welcomed by fans of domestic suspense.  

 

🎧 I enjoyed this one in both print and audio formats.  I must admit that I’m a sucker for a great accent, and the narration by Barrie Kreinik and Jessica Douglas-Henry was like music to my ears.
