ABOUT THIS BOOK

SINCLAIR WIFE DEAD!  HUSBAND CLEARED! 

Police have ruled out suspicious circumstances in the investigation into the death of Elizabeth Sinclair, wife of charismatic entrepreneur Harry Sinclair, found drowned in the lake of the family’s holiday park. 

It’s been two years since the Sinclair case closed but when reporter Steph Durham receives a tipoff that could give her the scoop of the year, she’s drawn deeper and deeper into the secretive Sinclair family.
​
Elizabeth’s death wasn’t a tragic accident. And the truth will come at a deadly price…

MY REVIEW

A fantastic, twisted journey of family secrets and betrayals, THE DEAD WIFE by Sue Fortin is an excellent story from start to finish and is definitely on my list for one of the best books this year!

When Steph Durham gets the opportunity to attend a press weekend at a stunning estate in the Lakes, she is delighted, even though it will be close to where her mother lives with whom she has a strained relationship. But when she gets a message from a distraught mother, begging her to look deeper into the Sinclair family, who own the estate, and the death of her daughter, Elizabeth who was married to one of the sons,  Steph knows that this could be the story that could launch her journalism career to new heights. But it is the desperation of this woman and the love she obviously has for her lost daughter that makes Steph determined to find out the truth about what seems to be a tragic accident on the surface. 

Run by the matriarch, Pru, and her three very different sons, Dominic, Harry, and Owen, it isn't long before Steph feels that somebody is hiding something, but there is the added complication that her mother was the one who had investigated Elizabeth's death and found nothing, as well as Steph's burgeoning feelings for Harry to contend with. But as Steph finds herself in a dangerous situation will she be able to unearth the truth before it is too late and she becomes the next victim?

​This story hooked me from the very beginning and the characters held me captive on each page. Steph is feisty, charming, and determined, but she is also vulnerable, yearning for love from her mother and wanting things to be different between them, but as secrets begin to surface, I loved the way Steph never gave up. 

With plenty of tense moments and surprises along the way, THE DEAD WIFE by Sue Fortin is everything you could want in a psychological thriller and I cannot wait for more from Sue Fortin.
