Summary
Can you ever really know someone? When Deborah, an unpopular 17-year-old, meets the charming and handsome Larry, he sweeps her off her feet. The trouble is, Larry has a secret. Then a series of grisly murders casts a shadow over everything. As Deborah's world starts to fall apart, she begins to suspect the man she loves of a terrible betrayal. And to keep their marriage alive, sacrifices must be made. The Optician's Wife is a compelling psychological thriller that unpacks what goes on behind closed doors and reminds us that sometimes the worst crimes can take place closer to home than you think.

uniquely riveting
I really liked this story. It took me a while to get on with the woman's voice but I ended up thinking it suited her character so much. I liked how raw and honest it was with unexpected twists and turns. Would definitely read more from this author!

I actually liked this story a lot. And a real good twist at the end. Definitely worth a listen.

good storyline
i enjoyed the storyline, but at times it was very confusing with the dates flicking from past to future which was quite annoying. apart from that it was great
