I really didn’t know which way this was going to go. With twists and turns that kept you on your toes I found this hard to put down. Julia works in advertising and on the surface is happily married to Rob. Then her boss Tony brings in Ellis to work with her and her team. It is obvious from the start that there is a different side to Ellis to the one he shows. I didn’t like Ellis from the beginning but thought Tony, the MD at Grapevine, was just misunderstood. The characters are all very well thought out and that the story itself flows really well. This takes you on a rollercoaster of a ride that leaves you desperately wanting to find out how it’s going to end.

If you're looking to read a real psychological thriller this is it. Gripped from the start this had me gasping out loud.

Julia, who works in advertising, and Rob who is an architect have a seemingly happy marriage until it isn't anymore. Julia loves her work and is happy with her team until her boss Tony, (who is cringeworthy), brings a new player, Ellis, to the team. Ellis is a true psychopath and convinces himself Julia is the perfect fit for him.
A true cat and mouse game begins as Ellis rushes to claim what he believes is his.

There is a lot going on, but it is well written and easy to follow.

Oh my gosh this book through me for a total loop! I had NO idea it would go this way. I was so drawn in from the beginning with this book. I loved the suspense. Very well written! Would be a great movie.

I had a really hard time getting into this book but once I did, I felt that the 2nd half was very fast-paced. The story centers on Julia, who thinks she has a perfect marriage but there is more to that story. When a new guy at work, Ellis, shows up on the seen, he sets his sights on her, but turns out he also has secrets to share. I didn't find any of the characters likable or relatable.

The first half of the book tells the reader a little more about Ellis's background and also provides more insight into Julia's professional and personal life. This part of the book felt very slow to me, and I had trouble connecting with the characters. Once Ellis hatches a plan to make Julia see what she was missing, the pace picks up and the story takes an unexpected turn. I enjoyed this part of the book a lot more, and I thought the introduction of the police officers added more interesting characters (though not necessarily making decisions I would make) into the story. The ending was pretty exciting and I thought it was well done.

Overall, this ended up being a good story. If you are like me and don't feel a connection to the characters, I recommend to keep reading! Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was hooked! This was so well written and just so creepy. The characters are well fleshed out and original, the plot well paced and the tension is expertly built throughout. It's dark, it's twisty, it's just everything you could want from a domestic noir. I loved it!

4.5⭐️ read. I didn’t want to out it down so I read it in one sitting- it’s dark but so thrilling! Thank you for the ARC!

A fast paced read that i had a job to put down.
Well written characters and an engaging storyline.
I read this far to quickly.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing this book, with my honest review below.

The Wrong Woman was highly disturbing but given this is a thriller that made it highly satisfying. Julia and Rob seem like the perfect couple, but as is often the case in a thriller, the seem is an important distinction. When Ellis, Julia’s new coworker comes into the picture he becomes a less than welcome addition and it is clear he’d love nothing better than to break the couple up. The reason why and the last part of this book are what take it to highly disturbing territory. While the fate of Ellis was a bit of a too fast and easy wrap up, the rest of this book ramped up the tension wonderfully and makes it a perfect addition to any thriller lover’s collection.

this book should come with a warning. once you start you won't want to stop reading so good. Julia and her husband Rob have the perfect life still in love with each other and workaholics. Rob is an architect. Julia works in an advertising agency she loves her job, but her boss has brought someone else into the team. Ellis who has been living in south Africa but wanted to come back to his hometown. Ellis is very opinionated. but she starts to warm to him. and then things start to change for Julia won't say no more but so good

Enjoyable, dark, and intriguing thriller. Really enjoyed it. Keeps you hooked and the narrative style is pretty strong. Would read this author again thank you netgalley for my ARC

Having read and enjoyed Mullen’ s last novel, I was eager to get my hands on this. It didn’t disappoint. Set somewhat surprisingly in a small Glasgow ad agency, the capable and hard working senior account manager Julia Sutherland is not happy when new colleague Ellis Kirkbride is foist on her. Ellis, however, is captivated by Julia and doesn’t care that she’s happily married. There’s just one problem: Julia doesn’t feel the same way. Ellis doesn't take rejection well. Nicely drawn characters, an ingenious form of revenge and gripping last few chapters had me hooked.

What a great book! I’m sure thriller readers will enjoy this one! Don’t miss out! It was a great read!

When Ellis Kirkbride joins Julia's firm at work he is a little to confident and slick for her liking -
will he change Julia's mind or does he have sinister motives in mind.
A page turner with great fast paced plot
Thoroughly enjoyable

Julia Sutherland's seemingly perfect life takes a dark turn when Ellis Kirkbride, a slick and overly confident new colleague, takes an unsettling interest in her. The novel is a compelling psychological thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns. While some parts felt a bit slow, the intense final chapters made up for it. A solid 4-star read for fans of suspenseful, character-driven stories.

Julia Sutherland thought she had the perfect marriage with her husband, Rob. When Ellis Kirkbride joins her firm at work, she is puzzled by him – he is a little too slick and confident. Ellis is certain he has found his perfect woman in Julia. Will he win her over, or is he there for another reason?
I found this book mesmerizing and finished it in two days. It was definitely a page turner with lots of twists and turns. I highly recommend this one if you love psychological thrillers!

I’m not sure how I feel about The Wrong Woman by O.J. Mullen. I could not connect with any of the characters. I did not like Julia’s boss, Tony. He was cringe-worthy. However, I did like Ravi and Olivia. They were solid characters and not morally corrupt.

The prologue was quite sad, with the little boy pleading with his mother not to leave, but you knew that this was going to come back up somewhere in the plot.

I had a difficult time in the middle of the book as it felt slow and cumbersome to get through. The last 1/3 of the book was good and page-turning as we were getting to the killer and the reveal and what would happen with Julia and Rob.

Overall, an okay read for me. A 3 out of 5 stars.
