Hey there! Welcome to The Last Affair blog tour! I'm thrilled to share my thoughts about Margot Hunt's new novel with you, and can't wait for you to read it! Take a look!
About the book:
Gwen
Landon—poster woman for perfect wife, mother, and suburban bliss—is found
brutally bludgeoned to death behind her Floridian McMansion. Beautiful and
beloved by her community, Gwen makes an unlikely victim. But just a scratch
below the surface of her perfectly curated world reveals one far more sinister.
When looking back over the six months leading up to her death, the question of,
“who would do this?” quickly shifts to, “who wouldn’t?”
Commercially
successful food blogger and mother of three, Nora Holliday never imagined she
would have the nerve, let alone time, to get involved an affair. Trapped in an
unhappy marriage, she does whatever it takes to keep it all together. But when
Nora runs into Gwen Landon's husband at a hotel in Orlando, his easy kindness
and warmth proves too tempting to resist. As their affair spirals dangerously
out of control, it seems things can’t get more complicated—until Gwen turns up
dead.
My review:
From the opening scene, until the very end, this book will have you turning pages and guessing. This book kept me intrigued and entertained, plotting theories and trying to find the truth, and tell me if that’s not the best thing about suspense’s books: the emotion to play detective, follow clues and get the answers.
This was my first time reading the author, and I found in the book a thrilling story, characters were well developed fueling the plot with their particular relationship dynamics, and lots of surprises.
All started with a body found in the backyard of a house. But then the author takes us back in time to meet Nora, Josh, Abby and Gwen.
Nora is a food blogger who will attend a convention. Josh is an orthodontist who found himself in the same place as Nora. They have met before. They talk. That chat turns into flirting, and the flirting drives them to share a bed. The only problem there is that Josh and Nora are married to other people.
Then we have Abby. She’s Josh daughter and she’s back home after a heartbreaking experience in college. She’s having a hard time. And they she discovers her dad is cheating on her mother.
Finally we have Gwen. She’s Josh wife and Abby’s mom. She’s the body found in the backyard in the opening scene. Through the pages you will know part of her story, as well as follow the clues to discover who killed her.
I couldn’t put this book down. It was amazing! I had a great time reading it and I recommend it to all fans of suspense out there.
