Another amazing book by Daniel! This book shows that you never really know another person - even when they are your husband! Great ending and felt the book was really well thought out! Will definitely be recommending this book to others!

This was a quick and easy read told from two different POVs. I found it to be a slow burn with most of the action packed into the ending and it didn’t quite deliver on the thriller or mystery front. The story reveals key information early on, which took away some of the suspense. However, it still had a solid storyline, and I really liked the wife’s character.

Daniel Hurst's books never disappoint and this one is no exception. I did think it was a slightly different kind of writing to his previous work but no less gripping. Fast paced with twists galore and an ending that was totally unexpected. If you havent read anything by this author, now is the time to start .

https://wwAddictive, fast paced, riveting, and hard to put down! Daniel Hurst has entertained, enticed, and captivated with The Husband! Secrets and lies are the name of the game. Just when you think you know someone, you learn that perhaps you really didn't know them at all! This is the 17th gripping book that I read by Daniel Hurst, and he never lets me down!

Jenny and Lachlan have been married for twenty years and have two children. Life is good and they are happy until Jenny and her daughter watch a documentary about an unsolved murder that took place where Lachlan grew up…

This book is told through the intriguing POV's of Jenny and Lachlan. I had a blast reading both of their thoughts. Being able to know what each is thinking was one of the highlights of the book for me. I also loved the pacing, the tension, the unease, the twists, revelations, and mounting sense of danger. Hurst shocked me with the ending which I did not see coming. I love it when he does that in his book!

Fans of Hurst will be captivated by this psychological thriller. Those who have not read a book by Hurst before, this is a great one to start with. It's a bit different from his other books but still has his trademark shocking twists and fast pacing.

As always this author hooked me in and would not let go. Perfect premise of how well do you really know the ones closest to you and ultimately what would you do to protect those you love. Full of secrets and lies and set using true crime this was a joy to read from start to finish. I guessed early on what the husband secret was but such clever writing and character development had me hooked to see how it would plan out. Such a page turner relatable to other lives events. I like the fallout and the final twist had me feeling like what did i just read. I highly recommend this to any mystery lover. Daniel's style means you may become a reader for life as the novels feel relatively sort and are always well paced. I look forward to the next one. Thanks netgallery and author for this cracking 5 star read

I have read many of Daniel's books before and once I again I thoroughly enjoyed this latest one.

Well written, fast paced and twisty The Husband is a gripping psychological thriller that I personally found very hard to put down-highly recommended of you like this particular genre and a must read if you are a fan of this particular author.

Fantastic book, im a massive fan of Daniel Hurst as his writing style is just so easy to read and follow. The book was such a nice read, it had a twist I did not expect and wasn't able to guess.

Got it! Here’s a four-star review for The Husband by Daniel Hurst:

Daniel Hurst’s The Husband is a gripping thriller that had me on edge from start to finish. The twists were smartly crafted, and the suspense kept building with every chapter.

The narrative was fast-paced and intense, with just enough detail to pull me into the characters’ lives. I appreciated how Hurst explored the complexities of trust, betrayal, and revenge in relationships, making the story feel grounded and relatable.

The ending was surprising and satisfying, though there were moments where I wished for deeper exploration of certain plot points or characters. Nonetheless, the book delivered on its promise of a thrilling and unpredictable ride.

If you enjoy domestic thrillers with twists that keep you guessing, The Husband is a fantastic choice.

This was my first book by Daniel Hurst, and it was such a great start to my reading journey with him!

The book goes back and forth between the husband and the wife, in a game of cat and mouse as the husband works to keep his true self from his wife. The wife slowly realizes that her husband is not all that he seems, not the man she thought she was married to.

A documentary set in the husband's hometown is the catalyst for the action, and I definitely felt my pulse pounding along with the characters' pulses!!

Overall, a good read!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

Wow I was totally gripped from the first page of this fast paced thriller. Lachlan has the perfect life, a lovely home, a wife and 2 children but what is he hiding? When a documentary about the murder of a young girl in the village he grew up in is shown on tv his life begins to unravel.
A great read with plenty of twists and turns and a brilliant and unexpected ending.
Thanks to Netgalley, Daniel Hurst and Bookouture for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Another great read by Daniel Hurst! A face paced psychological thriller full of suspense and twists. I would have liked for the characters to have been slightly more developed as I felt like I didn’t get to know them well enough compared to some of his previous books. Overall a great read!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my ARC

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
A little repetitive, not up to the author’s usually high standard, .

Anything Daniel Hurst writes, I’m going to read. As with all of his books, this was a quick, easy read with an attention keeping pace and constant action.

The only thing I didn’t love was there was no mystery around who the “bad guy” was, the reader knows from the beginning. There could have been a little suspense added there. But overall, very good book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Daniel Hurst, and Bookouture for this ARC!

I have to say that Daniel hurst has a funny way of developing you in a story where you can’t stop until the bitter end. His writing is so addictive and I can’t stop thinking about the book even after I put it down for the night, eager to scoop it up again. This book was raw and intense and right when you think you know what’s gonna happen again, the author throws a curveball and sends your head spinning I love these stories that you think you know the outcome but you were pleasantly surprised with a complete different ending. Kudos Daniel hurst.

A Daniel Hurst book is always going to be a wild ride and this was no different. I really enjoyed this book being dual POV and coming together. It felt like watching two trains racing towards each other and you know they are gonna collide but you keep watching.

Jenny is a wife and mom of 2 teenagers and married to Lachlan. A new true crime documentary comes out taking place in Lachlan’s tiny Scottish hometown. He wants nothing to do with the town or the murder that happened. But why?

It was fast paced and enjoyable! Thank you netgalley for the arc :)

Name :- The Husband
Author :- Daniel Hurst
Genre :- Psychological Thriller
It's a chilling psychological thriller in The Husband, a novel that explores the fragility of trust in marriage and the dark secrets that can lie beneath a seemingly perfect life.
What I like :-
1 Compelling Premise: The idea of a loving husband possibly being connected to multiple unsolved murders immediately grabs attention. The suspense is palpable as the protagonist, married for over two decades, begins to question everything she knows about her partner.
2 Atmospheric Setting: The shift from the family’s idyllic life to the remote and eerie Scottish Highlands heightens the tension. Hurst masterfully uses the rugged landscape to mirror the isolation and danger the protagonist feels.
3 Pacing and Suspense: The narrative is fast-paced and keeps readers engaged, with secrets unraveling at just the right moments. The dual-layered mystery—past and present—keeps the plot dynamic and unpredictable.
What I didn't like :-
1 Character Development: While the protagonist is well-drawn, Lachlan’s character feels slightly underdeveloped. A deeper dive into his psyche could have added complexity to the story.
2 Predictable Elements: Some thriller tropes, such as sudden personality changes and conveniently discovered clues, feel a bit overused.
Overall :- The Husband is a gripping, fast-paced psychological thriller that keeps readers on edge with its twists and suspenseful atmosphere.
My Rating: 4/5

If you want a fast paced, easy read with a good plot and twist towards the end then Daniel Hurst is your man

It did get annoying how many times it was mentioned that he had killed 2 people and got away with it.

Would rate it 3.5 stars

Really enjoyable and kept me gripped all the way through. A quick and easy read full of suspense and kept me guessing

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lachlan and Jenny are happily married parents of two teenagers but things start to get tense. When Jenny and her daughter Bonnie start watching a documentary of a murder that happened in Lachlan's home town to a girl Lachlan went to school with. They want to visit the the town and Lachlan is dead set against it because he was the killer and he doesn't want them to find out.

This was my second Daniel Hurst book at it was ok. Both have been short quick reads, but I feel they are pretty short on character development, and this felt like a story more than a mystery. I know this author has a lot of loyal fans, but I just don't think his books are for me.
