Having read a few of Daniel Hursts books, I have always really enjoyed them but I do enjoy the stand alone thrillers more than the series ( Just personal preference ) The Husband literally grabbed my attention and read/listened to in 1 sitting while out walking. I just couldn't put it down. This is from a duel POV of a Husband and Wife. On the outside they seem very happy but on the inside, someone is holding a secret.

This is a very quick, dynamic, engaging read which just gathers momentum over the course of the book. I love both our MC,s, Lachin and Jenny and because it from first POV, we get into the characters thoughts more. I wouldn't say they are super developed but definitely developed enough to keep you engaged.

Lucy Paterson and Angus King were fantastic narrating this fast paced psychological thriller.

4 stars

This book earned the full 5 stars. I did not want to put down. It is full of twists and turns to keep you hooked.

Another go to author who I know will be a great read. This book has alternating chapters between the 2 main characters - we know one is a murder, but the other character doesn’t know about her husbands past. From the prologue I was hooked, wanting to know what happens to everyone in this domestic thriller. A good page turner of a story with some tense chapters that I was holding my breath while reading.

This is my first by Daniel Hurst but it is now going to lead me down a rabbit hole and into the Daniel Hurst bookverse. I really liked the writing style (reminds me a bit of my FM) the twists were great but not so many that I couldn't keep track of things. It has some unsettling vibes to this book but DANG is it good. Definitely a MUST read. Especially if you are a FM fan - IYKYK. Just read it.

I really enjoyed The Husband. It had plenty of twists and turns that kept me hooked and I just did not want to put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

Wasn’t able to read this one digitally but I did order a copy of the book so will be reviewing it after I’ve read it. I’m really excited for it as I’ve only heard great things about it.

Once again another amazing book from Daniel Hurst. I think I’ve read nearly every one now and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint. I’d definitely recommend to fans of Daniel and anyone who wants a good suspenseful mystery!

I enjoy all of Daniel Hurst's books and discovered them thanks to recommendation from Freida McFadden's facebook group. I found this particular book to be unique from some of the other plots. It was intriguing to know that Lachlan was the killer and to get his perspective, which we do not always get in books. I also liked how this unsolved murder finally gets solved and enjoyed how the mom and daughter became obsessed with the true crime podcast. I can see how his writing has grown over time and really think this is one of the best (aside from The Doctor series, which I is so brilliant!)

I was able to figure out what was going on too easily with this book. So, its not rated very high. I like books better where I don't know or can't figure out what the ending will be .

4.3 stars - Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of 'The Husband'. This was such an engaging read, especially with the alternating POVs between Lochlan (the husband and killer) and Jenny (the unsuspecting wife). Most thrillers I’ve read tend to keep you guessing about the identity of the killer, so I found it refreshing—and chilling—to get inside Lochlan’s head while also following Jenny’s growing suspicions.

That being said, Lochlan is absolutely vile—disgusting, evil, and completely psychopathic. I definitely had some weird dreams after reading this before bed lol! Despite that, the story kept me hooked, and I was eager to see how it would all unfold. The writing itself wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but it was a quick, easy read, and the

Okay, imagine this: a couple, Lachlan and Jenny, right? They've been together forever, got kids, the whole deal. But something's seriously off. It's like watching a pot slowly boil – you know it's gonna spill, but you don't know when.

This story flips back and forth between what Lachlan's thinking and what Jenny's thinking. They seem normal, but you quickly realize they're hiding a ton. And get this, two people died years ago, and Lachlan was basically living next door. Creepy, right?

As things start to get exposed, Lachlan starts losing it. Jenny, meanwhile, is like a mama bear protecting her cubs. She's ready to do anything to keep her family safe.

It's not a jump-out-of-your-seat scary story, but it's got this weird, unsettling vibe that sticks with you. Like, something's about to go down, and you can't look away. I thought it was pretty good.

I have read quite a few of Hurst's books and am never disappointed. Always such a good read. And so this one caught me from the beginning......husband - killer ?? And had me turning the pages to find out if, when and how he would get caught. I must admit I did not see that ending (epilogue) coming and like the little doubt it gives you as to why she (the wife) made the decision she did.

Definitely put this one on your TBR list.

The Husband, Daniel Hurst

This is an exciting story, from beginning to end.
Daniel Hurst weaves an intriguing tale!

Jenny and her family are living a happy life. When Jenny and her daughter start watching a documentary about a murder in their father’s hometown from years ago,
they plan a vacation to Scotland to see the village of Lachlan’s childhood.
What Jenny and the kids don’t know is that Lachlan was the killer! Of course, he’s very reluctant to return to Scotland, but the family insists.
Thus the story unravels Lachlan’s secrets, while his family remains unknowing.
The book is well written as the story reveals itself, right up to the end!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.
4 stars

The Husband is an entertaining, galloping novel that will have you tearing through the pages. Super easy to read and fun in a twisted kind of way, it starts off with Jenny and her daughter watching a crime documentary and realising the death of a young girl 25 years earlier took place in the small Scottish town where her husband Lachlan was raised. Narrated from both Jenny and Lachlan’s perspectives, we quickly realise that Lachlan is far from the husband that Jenny assumes he is. When the family returns to Scotland for a few days, suspicions and fear soon give way to terror. Short and punchy, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you to Daniel Hurst, Bookouture and Netgalley for my advance copy.

A solid 3 star thriller. The Husband takes you on a wild ride where the reality of “who am I married to?” takes on an entirely new meaning. The decision making by every character was erratic and at times annoying but overall a quick and entertaining read!

This book had me gripped from the get go and i definitely did not see the ending coming. Written from dual pov it was such a fast passed thriller. 5 ⭐️ read.

A new crime documentary comes out and Jenny and lachlans daughter has a high interest in the series. But why does Lachlans personality change when he finds out his daughter is watching the documentary series that is set in his hometown about a girl in his class that was murdered and her killer wasn’t found?

Daniel Hurst does it again. He never disappoints with his fast-paced books that are completely addictive.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion

This book was really good overall! I enjoyed the story behind it all and was glad to read it before it was released.

Trigger warning: violence against women.

I enjoyed this book, it was an easy read. I thought the story was realistic and I wasn’t left with unanswered questions.
