The BrideThe Bride by John Nicholl
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5ā­
Genre ~ psychological thriller
Publication date ~ June 28, 2023
Page Count ~ 282
Audio length ~ 8 hours 51 minutes
Narrator ~ Bethan Rose Young
POV ~ single 1st
Featuring ~ pregnancy, assault

Daisy unreliably narrates the story as if she is speaking directly to her unborn baby with her side of what went down with their relationship and James’s disappearance. I think this kind of writing style is odd because how are you supposed to remember exactly what you said and did years ago?

James is not depicted as a likable fella, so I wasn’t too upset when he goes missing. I did not care for the lodger she takes on as a way to make ends meet. I figured out who they were way back at the funeral, but I can see how that red herring could go unnoticed.

Overall, I wasn’t blown away, but I liked it well enough. A bit slow in parts, but there was a nice last little zing at the end.

Side note ~ I had just read The Cellar not too long ago and I liked that this book also included the same detectives here. Maybe all of his books do if they take place in the same town.

Book blurb:

Sheā€™s on trial for murderā€¦ Now itā€™s her turn to tell her storyā€¦

# The truth is that I loved James with my whole heart. We were soulmates: meant to be together forever. On the morning of our wedding, I had just found out I was carrying his child.

But itā€™s time to tell my side of the story. Itā€™s time everyone knew what happened on that wedding day, on our honeymoon, and on that fateful last drive together. Itā€™s time everyone found out about the secrets and about the threat that loomed over our marriage. Itā€™s time everyone found out who really killed James.

And I need everyone to believe me. To believe Iā€™m not a killer. Because if they donā€™t, then my baby wonā€™t just have no fatherā€¦ sheā€™ll have no mother.
