Fans of Don’t Let Her Stay, The Housemaid and The Perfect Marriage won’t be able to put this jaw-dropping read down!
I have read and enjoyed Ruhi Chaoudhary’s series and so I wanted to try out her standalone novel.
His last wife is a story of a woman named Anna who meets a surgeon named Cary. Cary’s first wife Presley disappeared without a trace and Anna soon enters into Carys life. But as she starts her new life, she finds some dark secrets about Cary…
I did think that this book will end up becoming great but….it wasn’t really great actually. The writing was good. There were twists and turns, most unexpected ones in the book. But I found the book too slow, and all the characters in the book were confusing to me. The ending wasn’t really great in my opinion nonetheless. I know Ruhi Chaoudary writing Is impeccable and knows how yo keep the reader on the edge. The twist revealing at the end was great and unexpected but the ending again was confusing. I could have given a solid four stars but I will give on threes stars.
Thanks Netgalle and Bookouture for ARC. Review is based on my honest opinion only
