Summary:
Get ready for a thrilling, addictive novel about marriage, betrayal, and the secrets that push us to the edge in Sally Hepworth’s The Soulmate.
There’s a cottage on a cliff. Gabe and Pippa’s dream home in a sleepy coastal town. But their perfect house hides something sinister. The tall cliffs have become a popular spot for people to end their lives. Night after night Gabe comes to their rescue, literally talking them off the ledge. Until he doesn’t.
When Pippa discovers Gabe knew the victim, the questions spiral…Did the victim jump? Was she pushed?
And would Gabe, the love of Pippa’s life, her soulmate…lie? As the perfect facade of their marriage begins to crack, the deepest and darkest secrets begin to unravel.
My thoughts:
I just love Sally Hepworth’s books. She writes domestic suspense/family drama like no one else. Her books are always such readable, binge-worthy type reads and I find that once I start them, I have such a hard time putting them down and this latest one was no exception.
Right from the start this story grabbed me and I found myself completely invested from that point on. I loved the twists and turns this one takes – ones I definitely did not see coming – and I highly recommend going into this one as blind as you can, so I’m not going to say too much here about the plot because this one is just too good to spoil.
This book quite literally pushed me to the edge so many times…and I loved every second of it. I’m always amazed how an author is able to delve into the psyches of a marriage so vividly and that is exactly what Sally Hepworth has done here with not just one marriage but two. And she shows us just how messy and complicated marriages are, though from the outside things might look fine. I also loved how this story shows what it’s like to be in a relationship with someone who struggles with mental health. All the characters had issues and I loved how the author explored not only what was going on in the present with them but also their past. It all played a part in the story.
I loved this book. I think it might be my new favorite of Sally Hepworth’s…though I have a habit of saying that with each new book! I can’t help it as I just love her books. Read this if you love domestic thrillers, a good murder mystery and a quick read!
