booklistqueen 's review for:

The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth
3.5
emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

 Gabe and Pippa love their perfect little cottage on the edge of a sleepy coastal town. Yet the tall cliffs bordering their property are a magnet for jumpers. Usually, Gabe talks them off the edge, until one woman falls to her death. Was she jumped or was she pushed? When Pippa realizes the victim was Amanda, the wife of Gabe's former boss, she begins to question everything about her marriage.

Hepworth is the queen of domestic thrillers and her latest book on marriage and murder is a bit more focused on marriage than murder. Chronicling the ups and downs of Pippa and Amanda's marriages, Hepworth hits all the hot topics - love and passion but also mental illness and infidelity. While not as suspenseful as some of her other thrillers, The Soulmate is still an enjoyable weekend read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
