My review:
Jade is the 2nd Mrs. Westmore, married to Wells.
Sylvie is the 1st Mrs. Westmore who lives in the guest house with round the clock nursing care.
Quite peculiar to live on the same premises as your husbands 1st wife, and she’s not allowed to interact with her or the nursing staff either. Quite peculiar indeed. Not overly surprising where the plot took us, but I quite enjoyed the journey to get to the exciting ending. This is my first experience with this author and I really liked it. I can’t wait to read more of her work.
Hubs in depth review:
Thought I knew the culprit halfway through, pleasantly surprised at the end. The end.
Narration notes:
Yay for 2 and they both did great.

Book blurb:
Newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architect—only there’s one caveat. Behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretaker’s cottage … lives Wells’ first wife, Sylvie.
Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered an unfortunate accident—and hasn’t uttered a sound since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renowned specialist has been able to elicit so much as a word from the silent woman … until now.
On an ordinary Tuesday while Wells was away—despite instructions to never disturb the fragile woman—Jade visited her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. Only she wasn’t expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled in shaky black ink.
That word? Run.
