Publisher Description
The latest psychological thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Wrong Mother and The Cradle in the Grave
It's past midnight, but Connie Bowskill can't sleep. To pass the time, she logs on to a real estate website in search of a particular house, one she is obsessed with for reasons she's too scared to even admit to herself. As she clicks through the virtual tour, she comes across a scene from a nightmare: a woman lying facedown on the living room floor in a pool of blood. But when she returns to show her husband, there is no body, no blood—just a perfectly ordinary room, with a perfectly clean beige carpet.
The sixth book in Sophie Hannah’s beloved Zailer and Waterhouse series, The Other Woman’s House offers unforgettable suspense and a heart-stopping conclusion that Ruth Rendell and Tana French fans will love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Hannah's somewhat muddled sixth mystery featuring Det. Sgt. Charlotte "Charlie" Zailer and Det. Constable Simon Waterhouse (after 2011's Cradle in the Grave), Connie Bowskill spots a woman lying in a pool of blood while Connie's taking a virtual tour of a Cambridge house for sale at 11 Bentley Grove. But when she calls her husband, Kit, to look, the body is gone. Despite Kit's protests that she must have imagined it, Connie goes to the police, and Simon's fellow detective, Det. Sgt. Sam Kombothekra, gets the case, Simon and Charlotte being away on their honeymoon. Meanwhile, Connie becomes convinced that Kit is leading a double life based out of 11 Bentley Grove. When another woman reports seeing the same woman's body, the police now including Simon and Charlie, who have returned from their honeymoon realize they might have an actual murder to solve. There's an unpleasant tinge to Charlie and Simon's usual banter, while the plotting is subpar.
Customer Reviews
Love all her books
Give Sophie Hannah a try. Her books are haunting and her characters are finely drawn.
The Other Woman’s House
If you are a huge Sophie Hannah fan like I am then you are in luck because she totally delivers with this book. For the negative reviewers—you clearly are unfamiliar with her story telling style. It is rich, detailed, and like a flower that keeps blooming new and engrossing plot lines. This is a great book. Her whole series is the best.
