The End of Her by Shari Lapena
5.0

“Stephanie and Patrick are adjusting to life with their colicky twin girls. The babies are a handful, but even as Stephanie struggles with the disorientation of sleep deprivation, there's one thing she's sure of: she has all she ever wanted.

Then Erica, a woman from Patrick's past, appears and makes a disturbing accusation. Patrick had always said his first wife's death was an accident, but now Erica claims it was murder.

Patrick insists he's innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. Still, Erica knows things about Patrick—things that make Stephanie begin to question her husband. Stephanie isn't sure what, or who, to believe. As Stephanie's trust in Patrick begins to falter, Patrick stands to lose everything. Is Patrick telling the truth—is Erica the persuasive liar Patrick says she is? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake?”

I could not put this down! It was so good. I spent most of the time thinking I think this person did it. But, there were few twists that get you and you think oh my gosh. It was fast paced and just well done. You’ll be addicted to it. You don’t know who to believe-Patrick or Erica based off of some shady traits of one another. Stephanie was was a strong woman to go through all of this and to think of her twin daughters. I usually am disappointed by thrillers, but this one did not disappoint.
