Meet Jessica and Griffin, a married couple at the heart of the story. It opens with Jessica fondly recalling her first meeting with Griffin, their romantic dates, and his heartfelt proposal. She's enveloped in the warm glow of love. However, her joy is abruptly cut short when she receives an email that morning. It claims to be from her best friend, Izzy, who disappeared 22 years earlier. Brace yourself for a riveting journey filled with secrets, deceit, and peril at every turn.
There was a lot happening on this wild ride. This was not one of those thrillers where the answers are clear. The twists, the turns sure had me flipping the pages while attempting to crack the mystery.
The author weaves together elements from both the past and the present, creating a mesmerizing story that holds the reader's attention. Through Izzy's eyes, readers explore her mysterious disappearance, while Jessica's perspective anchored them in the present. Izzy's chapters deliver a breadcrumb trail of clues, heightening one's suspicions about the characters in the current timeline. The unfolding drama in the present delivers a series of shocking revelations.
While the story's development was engaging, the conclusion left me feeling let down. True to the nature of psychological thrillers, "My Husband's Past" concluded with a staggering cliffhanger, with no hope of a sequel. The conclusion wasn't what I desired but that's just a matter of personal taste.
For those seeking a story that promises a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists, "My Husband's Past" is the book to grab. It will ensnare you with its intricate plot, leaving you tangled in the web of its thrilling tale.
