This was a pretty good read. It is full of deceit and secrets....and a complete lack of communication on the part of so many characters. 😬 I can’t say I was stunned by how the book ended, but it still had me quickly turning pages to see why the murder happened!

Five Little Words is my first book by this author, and will certainty not be my last. What a pager turner! Laura Caldwell receives an anonymous message in the mail that her husband is a murderer. While she attempts to discover the truth, she will need to confront her own past as well. This book contains a tangled web of secrets, and will have you guessing all the way to the end.

What a brilliant well written book, loved every word on every page and I just couldn't stop reading this brilliantly addictive book.

All the characters were excellent, each with their own story to tell I just can't speak highly enough of this book which was full of twists and turns and I can definitely recommend.

Well done Jackie, I have enjoyed all your books and I look forward to the next one.

Thank you to Netgalley and Hera Books for giving me the opportunity to read this fantastic book.

this author has become one of my favourite s you always know once you start one of her books .you wont be disappointed always twisty and addictive and always wanting more .Laura has it all married Conor and they have a little boy and money .but someone has it in for them a young women {Vicky{ is murdered and someone believe s . Conor has done it . someone has sent a card your husband is a murder . but this couple both have secrets so recommend .

Five Little Words by Jackie Walsh is an entertaining thriller.

Laura gets cards in the mail congratulating her on having a son, but one card says, “Your husband is a murdered. Where was he the night Vicky was killed?”

Vicky was a bartender in Ballycall, a small village outside Dublin. Laura recently moved to Ballycall with her husband Conor. Since Laura is new in town, she is just starting to get to know the villagers. Even the perfect little village has secrets.

Laura just had a baby and has known her husband for a little over a year. She thought she had the perfect husband but now starts to question whether that is true. Is someone trying to scare Laura or warn her?

Everyone has secrets even the characters that seem the most innocent. Laura has a secret she is afraid of her husband finding out.

I really enjoyed Five Little Words. There was the perfect amount of suspense and drama. I really enjoyed being in Laura’s head. Laura is a new mother struggling with being home without a job and raising a newborn. At the same time she is in a new place where she knows very few people. She has to deal with her mother in law always popping in.

Laura has very conflicting opinions of what is going on and what she should do. The only person she trusts to turn to is her sister, Amanda, who is in Dublin busy with work. Laura asks Amanda for advice and is constantly debating whether she should take it or not. Laura also is impatient waiting for Amanda to call her back and will make decisions alone instead of waiting for a call back.

Five Little Words was very entertaining with being very creepy. I read a lot of creepy thrillers so was happy to read something tamer. I believe Five Little Words is a good thriller for people that don’t typically read thrillers and want to try something different.

Five Little Words was my first book by Jackie Walsh and definitely won’t be my last.

Thank you NetGalley and Hera Books for this ARC of Five Little Words.

Laura is a newcomer to her husband Conor's quiet, sleepy small-town, but it's not as sleepy as of late -- Vicky, a local barmaid, was brutally murdered and the police have no suspects. Days later, Laura brings their newborn home for the first time and finds a card, stating: your husband is a murderer. We follow Laura as she dives deeper into the town gossip and her suspicions of who sent the letter and if it could possibly be true.

This was a slow burn for me -- the story is told from the perspective of Laura, who can be a bit frustrating at times. She's a bit all over the place, being a new mom and having past baggage. I think having a few snippets from Conor's perspective would have been insightful and interesting.

The storyline plateaued for me in the middle, but really made up for it with the ending. You will be guessing the outcome into the final pages. There's quite a few suspicious characters and circumstances, so it's difficult to predict what ultimately ends up happening. It was a page-turner for me in the final few chapters!

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy of this book!

3.5 stars

This book really surprised me because I was unable to put it down even though there was not alot going on between Laura reading the letter and the 80% mark.

The story was enjoyable, I didn't have any strong feelings towards any characters yet I just had to keep reading. this is the first book I've read by this author so going to head over to Amazon and check out Jackie's other books.

What would you do if somebody sent you a note saying her husband was a murderer? This question is the central theme of this novel which ask the questions how well do you know the people you love. Highly recommend five stars

This was a great read that I finished in one sitting. I really enjoyed the story, and I definitely recommend it to those who are fans of this genre.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this E-book to review via Netgalley.

Laura has just had a baby and lives with her husband in a village in Ireland where everyone knows everyone else. She is new to the area. Her husband has grown up there and is a major employer running the local brewery. On the night that Laura’s waters broke a woman in the village was murdered. Amongst the baby congratulations card is an anonymous one telling Laura that her husband was the murderer. She hasn't known Conor that long but knows that it couldn't have been him as he was with her all night. She confides in her sister Amanda, the only relative on her side she is in touch with as we know Laura had a past- something she thought she had put behind her and desperately wants to keep it that way. Who would have murdered Vicky and why involve Laura? I got into this very quickly- to me a sign of wonderful writing and characters that you take to. There are lots of twists and turns, curveballs along the way to keep the grey matter active. I raced through this- always a good sign to me of a great book. I liked Laura and felt for her predicament. A cleverly crafted well thought out plot and one to keep you turning.

This is my first read by this author but proved to be an exciting one with some very good characters.
A fairly straight forward plot but one that keeps the pages turning rapidly. The book starts with new mother Laura Caldwell opening congratulation cards that have arrived at her house. Nothing unusual there until she reads one card that is completely unexpected. The card states five words 'your husband is a murderer'. Although Laura can't believe that her loving husband Conor is responsible for the murder of the local barmaid it still raises enough concerns in her mind to avoid speaking to him about it.

Laura wants to know more about her husband but she has secrets of her own that she is keen to remain buried. But while Laura fights to discover the truth about her husband, she’s also holding dark secrets of her own; secrets she’s spent years trying to hide. Who sent the card and why? Both Laura and Conor have secrets in their past but could those secrets destroy what they have together. Lots of twists and turns in the very good fast read.
I would like to thank both Netgalley and Hera Books for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

OMG I could not put this book down.
Five Little Words...........Five Little Words that burst Laura’s happy little bubble.
Laura has met, married and had a beautiful baby boy with Conor, the most eligible bachelor in Ireland. On the day they bring their baby home from hospital, mixed in with the congratulations cards is a note - Your Husband is a Murderer!
The village is still reeling from the unsolved murder of local girl Vicky and now someone is suggesting that it was Conor!
This book has so many twists, turns and secrets and sucks you in from the very first chapter. I’m usually pretty good at figuring out plot twists but this one had me changing my mind constantly and I did not see the ending coming.
I will definitely be keeping my eyes and ears open for more books by this author.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My Review:

Wow, wow, wow, this book had me guessing all the way to the end!!!!! This is the first book I read by Jackie Walsh and it will definitely not be my last. This is a stand alone and not part of a series.

This book was about secrets that would not stay hidden. A young woman murdered, a new mother who’s husband is accused of that murder and a woman’s quest to find out the truth, what comes next? Who really murdered this woman? Was it an accident or was it something more sinister than that? What secrets will be revealed? What happens after all is revealed?

I want to start off by saying I really loved this book and will continue to read all this authors books in the future. I loved the way all the characters were written and loved how they all meshed well together. All the characters had a secret and I loved the way it all came out in the end and how it affected them going forward. Now on to the plot. Who doesn’t love a good murder mystery? You say murder and I say how high. I can’t get enough of it. Oh and that ending. Omg, I couldn’t believe it. Endings are always my favorite and I love to be surprised. Boy this ending had it all. I was shocked!!!!! I raced through this book and couldn’t put it down until I found out that whopper of an ending.

Between the plot, characters and all the twists in this book it made it an easy and fast read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
