The Ex-Wife: A nail biting gripping psychological thriller

Product Information

as if Dorothy Parker, Noël Coward, and Oscar Wilde had collaborated to examine the war between the sexes in the post-Victorian era. Ex-Wife presented readers and critics with a new woman, one who was pursuing new vocational, economic, and romantic freedoms. Her life could be perfect if it wasn't for Jen, her husband's ex-wife who just won't leave them alone. Natasha believes that she has it all - a loving husband (Nick), a beautiful home, a beautiful daughter (Emily).

Much of the dialogue sounded unnatural, and I found the plot line rather trite; however, I see this duo has written other books, so I'm definitely going to check them out to make sure it was just this book that missed the mark.I was also educated as I hadn't seen the Harold Wilson statue mentioned in the story nor the Antony Gormley sea statues so I googled both after I just finished. Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Nick goes against Natasha's wishes and hires a driver, who ends up spending a great deal of time with Natasha.Peter hits her, drawing blood, and twists her arm badly; when Patricia discovers that she is pregnant by Peter, and indicates that she wants to keep the baby to save their marriage, he throws her through a glass door. There seems to be a trend lately (which I deplore) to construct female characters who are helpless doormats, and Natasha is a prime example. Due to some of the issues raised throughout the book,I think the story would cause some interesting discussions if it was read by a book group.
