Book Review: The New Husband by D.J. Palmer Release Date 4/14/2020

5 Stars for The New Husband by D.J. Palmer!
This one kept me guessing, y'all.

When Nina's husband disappears and she unearths lots of secrets, she cannot believe he was living a double life. Assumed to be dead, Nina finds solace in the fact that Glen was living a double life and decides to move on. Simon comes in and sweeps her off of her feet, and they quickly move forward with moving in together and trying to start a new life. But something just doesn't seem right.

Dismissing her doubts and feelings, fearful that they are stemming the failure of her previous marriage, Nina tries to look past the gnawing feeling that something is wrong. She makes excuses for her teenagers when they have confrontations with Simon.

2 years after her father's disappearance, Nina's daughter, Maggie receives a text message but is sworn to secrecy. She must do something. Will it be enough to save Nina from a life of abuse, control, or will it lead to her death?

I found myself drawn to Maggie's friend, Ben. @djpalmerauthor, I'd love to know more about Ben's life and feel you could write another book about him.

Books are so important right now. The process of bringing books into the world seems to be more difficult than normal right now with the absence of book tours and typical authorish types of things. That being said, I recommend this book if you're looking for something fast-paced with some surprise breadcrumbs throughout. It isn't a spoiler to let you know you'll be grossed out by Simon from the very beginning.

Thanks to @netgalley @stmartinspress and @djpalmerauthor for the opportunity to read The New Husband before the rest of the world in exchange for an honest review. I wish I could convey how much I appreciate books in a time like this.
