You decide. The night before the accident, Parker had told his mother, Nicola, he needed to talk to her the next day - “I have something very important to tell you. more

Another riveting, twist-filled thriller from K. L. Slater. I thought I had things figured out, but I was so very wrong. Husband and Wife kept me on my toes and turning the pages. more
While husband and wife are in hospital hoping and trying to recover from a serious car accident, the police are investigating the murder of missing young mum. Both or neither may be involved in the murder. This psychological thriller with a bit of crime has a bit more to it than I can write in a brief summary without spoilers and it's quite juicy with a reasonably impressive twist. I enjoyed the book mostly but I also wasn't rushing back to keep reading each time that I had a spare minute. A couple of issues for me reducing my rating to 3. more

3. 5It’s twisty that’s for sure but:-Repetition, repetition especially from Nicola, the husband in question’s mumTalking of Nicola. Irritating, much. Felt my fists clenchingAwful characters, such as wife’s mother. Jeez. more
“He was trapped. They both were, like two rats in a cage. Both had the capability to destroy one another, but there was a catch. If they revealed each other’s secrets…they’d end up destroying themselves, too. ”I absolutely loved the tension created by the secrets in this masterfully crafted domestic suspense. more
I started this only yesterday. I sat listening to it. Then when I had to go do something I left my ear pods in and traveled around the house listening. Went out to fetch something and still listening. I love KL Slaters ease in telling a thriller. more
Holy freakin’ cow was this good. I mean, I’ve read one K. L Slater book, The Liar and did NOT like it one bit. Now this thing…. I absolutely could NOT PUT IT DOWN. more
I am glad that I said "I DO. " to "Husband and Wife". This twisty well-written domestic thriller/police procedural kept me guessing from start to finish. BEWARE. THIS BOOK'S TITLE IS DECEIVING:The book is NOT a domestic drama about one husband and wife. more
BOOM — DYNAMITE. The British Queen of thrills, K. L. Slater, pulls out all the stops in her latest twisty, fast-paced psychological thriller, HUSBAND AND WIFE —her BEST yet. Deserving of an award for the best non-linear plot, crafted with finesse, a brilliant storytelling technique in which the narrative is told out of chronological order. more
This was my first book by K L Slater and I really enjoyed it, I have added all their other books to my TBR list. Full of twists and turns and kept me entertained. more
♡ with three sets of husbands and wives to be suspicious of and their innumerous secrets and lies,this was certainly worth the ride. more

Husband and Wife is an utterly gripping and unputdownable domestic suspense thriller . Right from the start I was absorbed into the story and read this book in one sitting. Of course I knew in my head where the story was going and who the culprit actually was… until the reveal and I was left utterly flabbergasted. Yes I truly was and I love when that happens in a book . This is such a well written read with some great characters and not all of them nice . more

As a fan of k l slater i have never been disappointed and once again this is spot on. The burb tells the story in essence a husband and wife inteoven into another missing mother myatery. Its a skillful blurb and you believe the story is based on parker and luna and the other characters mainly their both sets of parents are side characters but that is so wrong. This is a psychological thriller that has you hooked from page 1 told from the pov of parker. Nichola his mum and luna his wife with the interwoven missung story from the pov of the police. more
Karin slaughter never disappoints. True to form, this book kept the twists and turns coming. My husband pointed out that I kept putting my hands up to my face. Even though this book was told from multiple pov's, I didn't have an issue keeping up with it. This book will really make you think, "how far would you go for your family. more
Whenever I see a new book from K. L. Slater, I can't help but stop what I’m doing and start reading immediately. Husband and Wife is a sinister domestic thriller featuring a cast of fascinating characters: a couple with a rocky marriage, their young son and his devoted grandmother, and a dead girl with a shady side. Full of secrets, lies, and drama, I couldn’t get enough of this twisty thriller. more
DisappointedExpected a great read but that is not what I found. The writing style of this author put me off with so much detailed description of every single thing. Such as. the zipper is on her puffer jacket , then the jacket is padded, next the jacket isn't warm enough, all in one scene. But my biggest problem is every chapter is labeled either past or present. more
Nicola is devastated when her son and his wife are seriously injured in a car accident. When it comes to light they have been hiding something she decides to find out exactly what’s going on. A story about secrets and lies and a family in turmoil with some interesting characters. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review. . more
Not my normal genre, so not gonna lie I would never have picked that ending. 😅A few twists & turns, it definately kept me on my toes. more
Husband and Wife by K. L. Slater is another gripping domestic thriller from an author who never disappoints. I could not wait to get my hands on her latest, and I can confirm that it was certainly worth the wait. A husband and wife drop their son off to spend the night with his doting grandparents. more
thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review. ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊2. 5 ☆ for Husband and Wife by K. L. Slater i will admit, i seem to be in the minority here as this book was a total miss for me - which is disheartening because i've been wanting to read Slater's work for a while and the blurb of this book seemed promising. more
A scorned wife is no match for a mother's love in the latest shocking thriller from KL Slater. Nicola loves her son Parker more than anything and wishes she was able to see him and her grandson Barney more. Parker has a strained relationship with Cal, Nicola's husband and Parker's father, and she isn't sure if that's the reason or if it's because he has more fun with his wife Luna's wealthy parents. Nicola finally gets the chance to keep Barney overnight so Parker and Luna can attend some sort of fancy work event. She couldn't be happier and savors every moment with Barney until the doorbell rings late that night and she gets the news every parent dreads. more
