  🏘 The Downstairs Neighbour, Written By Helen Cooper; My Review‼️🏘 Written by Helen Cooper,  Blurb; In a converted Georgian townhouse in south west London, three families live under one roof. The large flat that takes up the top two floors is home to the Harlow family: happily married Paul and Steph, and their bubbly teenage daughter Freya. The smaller first floor flat is rented by Emma, who spends most of her time alone, listening to people coming in and out of the building. And the basement flat belongs to Chris, a local driving instructor, who prefers to keep his personal life private from the neighbours. But their lives are all upended when Freya vanishes. As the police become involved and a frantic Paul and Steph desperately search for answers, they begin to realise that the truth behind their daughter's disappearance may lie closer to home than they were expecting. When everyone has something to hide, can you ever really know those closest to you? Or will some secrets...

 🖤 The Other Widow, Written By Lyndee Walker; My Review‼️🖤 Written by Lyndee Walker,  Blurb; Our husbands died. Our husbands lied. Can I trust her? A week ago, Josephine Malone didn’t even know me. And now she can’t live without me. We sit side by side on her soft leather couch, mascara stinging our red-rimmed eyes. Our husbands were killed in the same accident. And together we’re riding the same gut-wrenching roller-coaster. A hotel maid like me has no business being friends with someone as rich as Josephine. But I can help her. I comfort her little boys when she can’t… and I hide the secret note I find in her husband’s suit pocket. That little note holds the key to what really happened to my husband. I can’t ignore the cold fear that creeps through me as I read it, but I won’t leave this house until I find out what this perfect couple were hiding. But if I stay here too long, will Josephine discover who I really am? My Review; I was drawn into this book from the very begin...

 🌅 The Woman In The Villa,  Written By Helen Cooper;  My Review‼️🌅 Written by Helen Cooper,  Blurb; A holiday to Italy with my husband and his family should be a dream trip. Spending two weeks in the scorching sun, relaxing by the pool, sipping on local wine... Two weeks of trying to hide what I've done. When I meet Carmen, the woman staying in the villa next to us, I'm immediately drawn to her, thankful to have some normalcy against the intensity of my in laws. I didn't expect to tell her my biggest secret, one that could tear my whole life apart. But when I return the next day to beg Carmen not to tell a soul, the house is completely empty, and she is nowhere to be found. Who was the woman in the villa? Why was she there? Who have I told my darkest secret to? My Review; Following my last read, - which was good, but had a lot to keep up with, a lot of people involved, & a lot of goings' on, - this was a refreshing read that had me hooked from the very beginnin...
