What an original concept!

I love this book! Great stand alone and perfect secret sequel! The writing and character development was excellent and the narrator was perfection!

So good!

Such a great book! Kept me interested the entire time. Highly recommend it!! Definitely worth the credit. Even if you don’t get the first book. This could easily be a stand alone. I didn’t realize there was a book before this one.

Sheer Bliss…

Blissfully satisfied with this sequel… a tour de force…
Intricate, thoughtfully wrought…. And now I’m going to have the devil of a time to start another read after this amazing book.
Brava

Outstanding

I love Adele Parks. Her writing is so good, character development is excellent with an almost intimate feel for the characters. The extra treat from Two Dead Wives is well know the cast. This is truly a standalone read but if you’ve read Woman Last Seen. Both books are truly outstanding! I absolutely love how AP never planned on a sequel but her sister and so many fans pretty much begged for it. And this book Two Dead Wives absolutely delivers. Enjoy the ride!!!

Narration is excellent adding so much to the intensity, emotional range, gender, and overall ominous anticipation!!

Kept

Me guessing. I had a feeling about Kenneth. Glad about the ending of this story.

Interesting

Quirks in characters, makes it very good and very enjoyable. Some background information may be good

Perfectly wrapped up woman last seen

I wasn’t expecting A sequel but this book wrapped up everything. Great story and great characters. Awesome book, I would read Woman Last Seen first.

A Gripping Suspense

I picked up the unedited proof at my local bookstore on a smartly wrapped blind date with a book. A sexy murder mystery seemed right up my alley. But I just couldn’t get into the physical book; the characters dialogue didn’t click for me. Months later, I figured I’d give it another go on Audible. SO GLAD I did. The tone of the novel flows so much better when read in the author’s native British accent (I’m American, and unfortunately so is the narration in my head). When you get through the first couple chapters, you will be hooked. I listened to it throughout the day and was up until dawn, determined to finish it. I listened on a weekend afternoon, did all the chores I could think of while Iistening, and had to point to my earbud every time my partner looked my way after a sharp gasp. I even read the physical book alongside this audiobook just to pace myself and stop my eyes from wandering ahead. I had no idea this was a sequel until the end, but I imagine I will be adding that to my wishlist as well. Adele Parks has just become a contender for my new favorite author after just one book.

The second half of the story

The first half of the story was about setting up the ground work for what was to follow. At times, it was hard to follow. Events, characters and at least one name were misleading, but in the second half of the book, my confusion was lifted and I happily listened to how everything worked out. The book had a VERY satisfying ending.

SO GOOD ‼️

I had no idea this was a sequel- but how fun bc now I can listen to the first one! I think I’ve found a new favorite author!
Kyleigh is complicated and at first you might not like her! But I can almost guarantee by the end you’ll be rooting her on! (And Daan!)
