Dorothy Koomson is the queen of the killer hook line and master of the jaw-dropping twist ― S Magazine I grew up in London and then grew up again in Leeds when I went to university. I eventually returned to London to study for my masters degree and stayed put for the following years. I took up various temping jobs and eventually got my big break writing, editing and subbing for various women's magazines and national papers. Cleo Forsum is a bestselling novelist turned scriptwriter whose TV series, 'The Baking Detective' is a huge success. But now she has decided to walk away from it all – including divorcing her husband, Wallace – before her past secrets catch up with her.
My 18th book is about a mystery writer who is in the middle of a divorce. Things really start to fall apart, though, when someone tries to frame her murder – in the same ways as the crimes she makes up. She has an alibi, but using it would reveal one of her most devastating secrets… Here’s the official blurb: Dorothy Koomson is on formidable form. In My Other Husband, she crafts a richly textured thriller that simmers with a sense of menace. Clever, unnerving and utterly compulsive, the final few chapters left me breathless -- Kia Abdullah You can always tell when a writer doesn’t care. All the words, no matter how pretty, no matter how clever, if they don’t come from the heart, they mean nothing. They fall flat. You can always tell.” Someone is trying to frame me for murder. They’re hurting people in the ways I write about – and making sure I’m the prime suspect. I think I know why.Fiction and storytelling were still a HUGE passion of mine and I continued to write short stories and novels every spare moment that I got. In 2001 I had the idea for The Cupid Effect and my career as a published novelist began. And it's been fantastic. In 2006, third novel, My Best Friend's Girl was published. It was incredibly successful - selling nearly 90,000 copies within its first few weeks on sale. Six weeks later, it was selected for the Richard & Judy Summer Reads Book Club and the book went on to sell over 500,000 copies. Oh, there I go again, this is meant to be about me, not my novels. A brilliant rollercoaster of a thriller about obsessive love and hidden secrets. Tense, twisty and unputdownable. Loved it! -- Claire Douglas I really enjoyed this book, maybe it was the different perspectives and the forced breaks in between which added to the reading experience. The writing style, and unique descriptions felt relatable and cohesive. Although this is a clever, multi layered slow burner there are some jaw to the floor reveals with information bombs that explode your expectations and opinions of certain characters. There is plenty of tension and suspenseful moments and some well thought out plot twists as it builds to a very good ending.
We’re all capable of terrible things. That’s part of what makes us human. That’s part of what makes walking away from others so difficult. We spend a lot of time categorising people, while forgetting that very few of us sit in these categories neatly and stay there – we all fit into multiple categories. And in the capable-of-terrible-things category, very many of us fit.”A brilliant rollercoaster of a thriller about obsessive love and hidden secrets. Tense, twisty and unputdownable.
