If Sue Watson writes a book, I will be reading it. I don’t even need to know the plot. I have read everything she’s written and have not been disappointed. Her latest is You Me Her, and I read it quickly.

Three people. One marriage. One murder.

YOU: My handsome husband Tom. You’ve given me everything — our beautiful son and our perfect new seaside home. I want to trust you, but I know you haven’t been honest about why you really wanted to move here. I haven’t been honest with you either…

ME: I make a secret promise as Tom kisses me and pours a glass of ice-cold wine to toast the first night in our dream house: I’m going to forget about his past. For the sake of our son, I’ll keep this family together, no matter what.

HER: Chloe is the only friend I’ve made since the move. I love our long lunches, even though she asks prying questions about my marriage. Tom hates me spending time with her, but I ignore his warning to stay away. I’ve seen the way he looks at her. It’s better to keep your enemies close…

You may think you know what’s going on in my marriage, but you’ll be wrong. Only three things are true: Someone is a liar. Someone is in danger. Someone is a killer.

Twists galore, as expected from Sue Watson. Just as I thought all the loose ends were tied up, and the final unexpected twist. WOW!!!
Loved it.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC which I highly recommend

You, Me, Her by Sue Watson and narrated by Tamsin Kennard was a superb audiobook/book. This was an audiobook that I could not turn off until it had finished. I was hooked from the very beginning, especially as it was full of brilliant twists and turns that just kept on coming! and it kept you on your toes.

"Three people. One marriage. One murder."

If these few words above has you interested this is a book for you.............it will not disappoint.

Sue's books have always been a 5 star read and this one was No different.

I highly recommend it.

Big thank you to Netgalley and especially Bookouture audio and Bookouture for my ARC's.

Very compelling read! At times I wasn't sure who was to be trusted and who was suspect! Kept me on my toes. Loved the ending!

This was the kind of popcorn thriller I desperately needed right now. It’s been a while since I’ve had one of those compulsive reads that I just couldn’t stop tapping through (had to charge my Kindle for a little bit because I made the rookie mistake of not checking the battery level before starting) and finished this in two sittings. As someone that frequents the thriller genre, I’m always mildly skeptical when I see words like “unputdownable” to describe the story – mostly because they aren’t always like that. This book is deserving of that description! While I was able to figure out the ending, it didn’t ruin the wild ride we took to get there! There were a lot of times I wanted to shake Rachel to get her to pay attention and see things for what they were, but you can’t always have perfect characters, right? Not all of the characters are particularly likeable, but it amazed me how well Rachel just refused to see the red flags right in front of her. Overall, it was engaging and fun and I’m glad to have a new author on my radar to keep an eye out for!

Wow, I really enjoyed this one. These types of domestic thrillers where you don't know who to trust or what each character's motives are, are my absolute favorite types of thrillers to read because they're so relatable in some ways but also make you realize how normal your own marriage is in comparison. I was completely sucked into this and read the book in a day. I thought the conclusion was such karmic justice and just absolutely perfect. This was one of my favorite thrillers I've read in a long time. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved how fast paced was and how short the chapters were, the plot twist was a bit predictable but it was fun to read.. what I didn’t like about this book is the main character.. I mean it’s hard to root for a main character that is so adamantly stubborn in acknowledging the red flags that’s right in front of her ..

This is one of those books that has great twists and turns but is also incredibly frustrating with a moronic main character.

Rachel and Tom just moved into their dream house that they restored to their hearts desires. Tom has been staying at the house while Rachel and their son have been living at their old home several hours away. Once the house is done and the family is officially reunited in their new home, everything begins to fall apart for Rachel.

Rachel is about as naive and blind as a woman can possibly be. Does she even know her husband??

It’s definitely an interesting read but I think it could’ve been executed better.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This one. Omg. Had me guessing the entire time. You think the title gives it away but it’s SOOOOO much more. Very clever writing BUT be aware this is NOT a murder mystery. It’s more a psychological thriller where a murder might happen WELL into the story. If you have a chance to listen to the audio, I highly recommend it. I am very excited to jump into the author’s back catalog.

As always, another great read from Sue Watson. A great story and just as I thought I had it all figured, another final twist.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion

One marriage...three people...one murder...

YOU ME HER...how do I count the ways?

YOU must read this twisted tale of domestic suspense and delicious deception.
If you ask ME, this has to be one of Sue Watson's best thrillers to date! And I'm in a reading slump and finding it difficult to connect with any book!
But when I read about HER, I didn't know which of them to trust. Which HER is the unreliable one here?

First of all, the setting is the best part of the book. Cornwall, though never having visited except on TV and books (since I'm in Australia...lol) is one of my most favourite settings for any tale - thriller, historical, you name it. So I was thrilled to discover Sue takes us back to the sweeping atmospheric setting although it does play very little part this time round. But I still love it.

So we meet Rachel, who has packed up her life and her four year old son Sam, and is heading from the dirty grimy Manchester (sorry, Mancurians) to the beautiful rugged Cornwall. With her inheritance from her father, she and husband Tom have purchased a sprawling home that was in dire need of fixing up. Whilst she packed up and sold their flat up north, Tom was busy renovating their new home and making it theirs.

But what Rachel didn't know was the surprise he had in store for her. In the form of a hidden swimming pool in the walled garden. She had envisioned a secret garden for her little boy to play in. Instead she got the stuff of her worst nightmare...But Tom mean well. He wanted to help her overcome her fear of the water and for her to enjoy splashing about with him and Sam.

And then on her first night in her new home, a stranger walks in all smiles and light and laughter. Chloe was their estate agent who sold them the house and helped Tom with the plans for renovating. So why is she just waltzing into her home uninvited? Chloe claims not to know that anyone was there. But still...

Despite their first meeting, Rachel and Chloe hit it off and become fast friends. Tom warned Rachel off befriending the young woman citing her gossipy nature and loose relationship with the truth. But Rachel can't help it. Chloe is fun. Until she's not.

Strange things begin happening. Shadows in the garden. Sounds in the night. Sam seeing a stranger swimming in their pool. Odd happenings. Things going missing and then turning up again. Random deliveries of a creepy nature. And then things ramp up a notch when a fire is set in their garden whilst Rachel and Sam were inside. Rachel begins to wonder the lengths to which this woman will go. what does she want? Her life?

There is so much that is intense going on in this twisted tale but despite my slump I was still able to guess the twist long before it came and I turned the final page. A totally brilliant read by Sue!

I would like to thank #SueWatson, #Netgalley and #Bookouture for an ARC of #YouMeHer in exchange for an honest review.

This review appears on my blog at https://stinathebookaholic.blogspot.com/.

I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. It started pretty slow because it gave a lot of background, but once it started moving it was a great read. However, I wasn't happy with the way it ended. Left me with a lot of questions. I suspected it, but wish there would have been a little more detail to find out what happens after the findings. Maybe there will be a book 2, but I'm not really thinking so.

I love Sue Watson! This book was not my favorite. It went in circles and the main character was so naive. The pool plot line was repetitive and I had the big twist figured out early on. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

This book had me so upset with the MC. I couldn't understand why she would so categorically ignore all of the red flags with her husband's behavior. But then I could see why. She went through unbelievable trauma which made her I think very susceptible to his gaslighting. Because after suffering like she did, you almost want to believe that everything will be ok rather than have to deal with anything that upsetting. And the twist at the end was completely unexpected. Money is the root of all evil.

I loved everything about this book. The story line was intriguing and fresh. The character building was just right and makes you feel connected to each character. Loved the suspense and mystery. Highly recommended reading this book, you will not regret it.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. This was a gripping read. I was engaged throughout (albeit frustrated at times by how long it took Rachel and Tom to consider changing their locks) and enjoyed the story. Although I guessed the final twist, I was still utterly hooked, and I've finished the book with even more questions. I'd like to read more by this author.

You. Me. Her by Sue Watson was published on June 3rd 2024 by Bookouture.

There are three people involved.
Someone is a liar - Someone is in danger - Someone is a killer.
Rachel is haunted by a past trauma which means she has a terrible fear of water, and the very thought of living in a house overlooking the sea simply fills her with dread.
However, following an inheritance from her father, Rachel's husband Tom persuades her to leave their tiny apartment and home town of Manchester, and purchase a house on the beautiful Cornish Coast. Rachel and four year old Sam stay in their apartment while Tom oversees renovations on their new home.
Rachel is still frightened about living so close to the ocean but Tom is certain that it will be a wonderful life for Sam and that Rachel will come to love it too. Wrong!

On their first night together, a woman named Chloe lets herself into the house and walks in on them together. Tom says she works for the estate agents from which they purchased their home. He also admits that he knew her from the former banking firm he left. Although she seems lovely to Rachel, Tom claims she's dangerous and to stay away from her. What about these two? It takes Rachel a while to suspect something is up— but what and why did Tom want to make this move?
The next day, Tom takes his son Sam to his new nursery-school. But the piece of resistance was the surprise Tom presented her with in their garden, which sent her spiralling back to the nightmare of her past. To Rachel's utter horror, it was a swimming pool. Why would he do that to her?
Tom receives a chance for a two-week job in Scotland, and Rachel will look for journalist jobs. But Rachel is reluctant to see him go as she feels strange and unsettled about the house as if something isn't right.
This was such a good book! I absolutely love Sue Watson’s characters and her writing is spectacular! I highly recommend her books to everyone!!

Wow. I have to look at the backlist to see if I had read any others from this author, I think I may have. I thoroughly enjoyef this book. It kept me gripped the whole time, start to finish. The ending was abrupt but I have to say I really liked it. By that time I knew what was coming and it didn't bother me. Love the suspense and it was creepy at times. I love books that manage to give me that feeling.... this one did. I am going to look for more of her books and start another. Loved the writing and it was never dull or slow for me. Read this one! You won't be disappointed

This is another perfect domestic thriller by Sue Watson. She’s one of my favourite authors as every book she brings out is truly impossible to put down. I loved this one!

Just wonderful! This author is a superstar and she has wowed again with this absolutely amazing book. Loved this one so much. Do read this one - it is absolutely brilliant.
