The Marriage: An absolutely jaw-dropping psychological thriller
Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him.
Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere.
But today I'm finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.
The man who killed my son.
My friends and family can't understand it. My neighbours whisper in the street whenever I walk past. How can I love a man like Tom?
They don't really know me at all...
The most unputdownable psychological thriller you'll read this year from the bestselling author K.L. Slater. If you love The Wife Between Us or Gone Girl, you'll be totally hooked on The Marriage.

Left a huge question in my pea brain that I just can't figure out. It was good up until the end. They all can't be winners I suppose.
Maybe if the book had a different title I would have liked it more. But when you sell a book with a title that uses the words "jaw-dropping " and "psychological thriller", you give the reader--or at least this reader!--certain expectations, and I feel the author failed to deliver on those expectations. I plan on trying another one of Ms Sister's books as I did enjoy the story line.
On a different note, this was one of a few books that I've read where I was disappointed by the book's editing. There were more than a few place where the sentences were awkward or the words used in the sentences made me feel as though I was stumbling my way through them. I love authors like John Hart, where even sentences midway through a paragraph are so eloquent, you have to re-read them to truly enjoy how they sound and the pictures that they paint!
