Summary
My husband’s dead. She’s at my door. She owns my home...
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her buttery blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms.
As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts.
She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I know this will be hard to hear. But I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'
My world implodes. And then she tells me that she owns our home – and that she’s not going anywhere...
An utterly gripping psychological thriller from the number one bestselling author of The Marriage. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and Lisa Jewell then you will be hooked by The Girlfriend.

Not bad
This isn’t my favourite book by Slater but it’s certainly not the worst.
Although I pondered over giving it a pass during the first few chapters I’m glad I persevered as it did start to flow smoother.
FYI The killer was not the person I thought it was! (always a good thing).
There were perhaps a few unnecessary “secrets” to add suspense/drama but I found myself saying “why would you do that?!” out loud, on several occasions, and rolling my eyes!
It was easy to listen to while doing chores & commuting and it wasn’t too gory or unsettling that I couldn’t listen to it in bed.
Overall I’d give it 3 stars ⭐️

K.L Slater does it again!
We’ve all met a Col & Jen, flash, funny and friendly. Only Slater’s couple have a rather lot of baggage.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Girlfriend, a great suspense novel that will keep you guessing to the end.
