For Better, For Worse by Lauren North is another pacey thriller that you will want to devour uninterrupted.

Jake and Hannah are planning their wedding while enjoying a holiday in the south of France. Upon returning to their villa following an awkward confrontation with a local man, they are shocked to discover the body of said local lying lifeless on the floor, surrounded by bloody footprints that perfectly match Jake's. Are they being set up for murder, or are their lives in even more imminent danger?

Full of twists and turns, this one kept me speculating as a very puzzling narrative unfolds. I look forward to reading much more from the always compelling Ms North.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

Mrs N, stand up and take a bow! This is a work of genius, a complete work and completely unputdownable.

I love a Lauren North book, I always know that I’m in for an utterly wonderful book. This is an example of why North is so fantastic. Definitely one of the best of our time.

Hannah and Jake are on countdown for their wedding. However, after a break in at their apartment they have a mini break. This is where our plot really begins to unfold.

Also, that ending…. OH MY GOD!!!!
That was the last thing i thought was going to happen. I’ve been left a little speechless.

I’ve read all of this author’s books and honestly, they really do get better and better. For Better For Worse is addictive and unpredictable.

This is a book I’ve devoured in one sitting. North has pulled me in and made this completely impossible to put down.


This book is a key reminder why North is a queen of the genre. There is nothing negative to be said about this masterpiece.

It’s a complete must for the TBR
