I am a big fan of Louise Candlish, and I've already read several of her book. I found "The Second Husband" to be sluggish, uninteresting and even poorly written in places. I had to force myself to finish it. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And this book is not a winner in my opinion.

Utterly ridiculous. Tripe.

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 5 août 2021

What on earth has happened to Louise Candlish? Our House was brilliant. The Other Passenger was as well. And The Disappearance of Emily Marr was great. But everything else seems to be churned-out gibberish about mind-numbingly stupid women. The protagonist of The Second Husband is a deluded doormat. No-one, NO-ONE would allow their teenage daughter to speak to them the way she does in this book. Same with her ex husband. It’s just not believable. And the daft woman can’t see what is happening right in front of her eyes, while it’s SO obvious to the reader. It’s unrealistic claptrap, entirely predictable and extremely boring. Don’t waste your money.

How to make 283 pages feel like 10000

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 31 janvier 2022

That was a long and boring read. There’s nothing wrong with Louise’s writing, its the characters and storyline that was so hard going. The main character was a drip, a total drip. Everyone else was nasty. I skim read the last 40% just to see what happened at the end. Nothing happened at the end. They need to bin this book, it can only damage her reputation.

Predictable

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 31 décembre 2019

Like many other reviewers, I chose this as I had enjoyed the author's other novels about unsettling domestic dramas. Sadly the plot of this one is predictable and none of the characters particularly sympathetic. I will read more of her later novels, but if you're considering this, give it a miss unless on Prime .

Great book but hugely disappointing and dull ending. WARNING *MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT*
Mother takes in pervert lodger, marries him... He elopes with nubile daughter, some drama convincing her she's made mistake, girl tires of lover and comes home! The End.
