His Last Wife by Ruhi Choudhary

 This is a domestic drama full of hideous characters doing odious, repulsive things.


Readers will have to completely suspend disbelief at this mishmash timeline with all of the nasty people involved. 


Anna meets Cary Danvers when he is a patient seeing a therapist after his wife went missing and is presumed dead. There is nothing about Anna that matches Dr. Danvers’ social position, yet he becomes romantically involved with her and takes her home to meet his infant daughter. Soon they are living together. Unfortunately, his missing wife, the perfect Presley Scott, still looms large over the household, especially since her mother, Juliet, lives there too. But it’s Anna’s complete obsession taking over the daughter, Harper, and becoming her “mommy” that really sends this novel into the next dimension. You know what happens next is not going to be good. In fact, it’s beyond terrible. 


The novel is divided into several parts with different points of view. I listened to the audio version while reading along and it was difficult to tell who was speaking at times. As previously stated, the characters were all deplorable with their secrets, lies, and actions. 


Thank you to Bookouture for providing the ARC copies for me to read and review. This was not my cup of tea. 

This is a standalone and is not part of any series.

Genre - domestic drama, triggers such as incest, domestic violence
