The Doctor's Wife: An absolutely gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller with a shocking twist

Product Information

Before he died, it seems, Felix Vodyanov was linked to a passenger ferry that sank in 1994, an even earlier U. Now it would be teeming with forensic experts, journalists and bystanders harbouring a morbid curiosity. He tells Fern that he is so overwhelmed and exhausted working at his practice that he wants them to move to a small town where he will have fewer patients and problems to deal with.

But that's the thing, this is less a mystery than it is a confession or more accurately, a not so humble brag.I hate that Greg thought that Fern was capable of murder because she got upset once when she thought her husband was cheating. I don't know why a couple would still stay in a marriage when it's clear that they're not in-love with each other anymore. At the conclusion, one may hope that all of the characters get their just desserts, although there is one who while seeming to escape, just might not have.

The Doctor’s Wife - Goodreads

There was something about these two characters, both selfish, self centered, immoral and not very likable that kept me going. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. Simon’s wife, the unstable Lydia, stays in bed for days at a time, sells lingerie in her spare time, and hangs out with a charismatic preacher named Reverend Tim. Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival.From the moment I heard Fern's voice I didn't like her, she seems to telegraph her devious way of thinking. Wooden first novel about the trouble that ensues when the wife of an obstetrician who performs abortions has an affair with a local artist married to a deranged pro-lifer. The story is told from the points of view of both Fern and Drew, covering both the present and the couple's past in Manchester. I would like to thank NetGalley, Daniel Hurst (the author), and Bookouture for graciously sending me a copy to review.
