The Innocent Wife
The Innocent Wife | Amy Lloyd
A young schoolteacher falls for a man on death row who she believes is falsely accused, only to begin wondering again after their marriageand his release. Twenty years ago Dennis Danson was arrested for the brutal murder of Holly Michaels in Floridas Red River County. Now hes the subject of a Making a Murdererstyle true-crime documentary thats taking the world by storm. The filmmakers are whipping up a frenzy of coverage to uncover the truth and free the victim of a gross miscarriage of justice. Samantha may be thousands of miles away in Britain, but she is as invested in Denniss case as any of his lawyers. Perhaps even more so, as her letters to the convicted killer grow ever more intimate. Soon she is leaving her life behind to marry him and campaign, as his wife, for his release. But when the campaign is successful and Dennis is freed, Samantha discovers new details that begin to suggest he may not be so innocent after all. How many girls went missing in Red River, and what does Dennis really know?

More like what desperate stupid women do. This book has animal abuse, I refuse to read books with animal abuse. No thank you.

I enjoyed this but found Sam's obsession with Dennis just abit too much.
I know everyone is different but I don't like the thought of someone being so needy and reliant on another person.
It was a good story though and a speedy read.

Quick read. Frustrating main character, the ending was a little hard to follow.

Honestly, it was a little slow, but captivating enough that the pace wasn‘t too bad. What really threw me was the ending! I still can‘t decide how I feel about it, regardless it was very abrupt and confusing.

I do think this was a great run at a first novel and wouldn‘t hesitate to pick up another by the author.

Holy 💩 this was good. When Samantha marries an inmate on death row, she‘s certain she knows all of his secrets. After new evidence arises and he‘s released, exonerated of all charges, Sam begins to question how much she knew him in the first place.

This wasn‘t a usual thriller read, but it was fast paced and all the characters interacted with grace you really start to wonder who knew what. 10/10 would recommend ☺️

LiteraryinLawrence What a crazy plot! 6y
akckitty @LiteraryinLititz it certainly was! The author did everything really well with the story line / plot throughout! 6y

Felt like it moved slow- or for some reason, it just dragged on. And then at the end I thought “what the f”. I read too many books in this genre. I need to stop.eventually.

Sam, the main character in this I didn't really like. This book was okay. I'm surprised I finished it.

Twisted and a tad disturbing at some points, but a good thriller overall! I wasn‘t too fond of the ending although it fits with the true crime fiction story!

Where do I even begin. I gave it a pick so I did like it. The premise and the storyline are so interesting. There were some things that were a little uncomfortable to read but that is because it is very real. Where it gets problematic for me is the end of the book. I almost feel like I missed something and I am still wondering what the ending actually means. If anyone else has read this I would love to chat!

Victoriahoperose I love a good book that leaves me thinking at the end. Looks like I need to get this ASAP! 6y

Received from NetGalley for a honest review - the story was ok but I wasn‘t the biggest fan of the characters

#BookMail No1 from Goldsboro Books is this months BOTM. I love how their books always come with either sprayed edges, signatures or numbered first editions. Or all 3! Samantha becomes obsessed with Dennis & proving his innocence in the murder he‘s in prison for, she‘s even moved to the US & married him. But once he‘s out, why is she so scared? Does she want to know the truth after all?
Sounds intriguing! #NewYearNewBooks #SoManyBooksSoLittleFunds

It was a good read but I felt the ending fizzled out. Character-wise, Samantha was sympathetic at first but her neediness soon began to grate, whilst Dennis remained an enigma. Warning: for those sensitive to such things there are several mentions of animal abuse/killing although it‘s not too graphic. Rating: 3/5.

Thanks to Netgalley and publishers for the opportunity to review an ARC.
