I read The End of Her because it was recommended by a book club I belong to in the area.

This is one of those books, a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing till the end. It has a fast pace and is filled with unanswered questions, the death of a first wife, and the presence of a current wife.

There are numerous captivating characters in this book, constantly keeping you guessing who is lying and who is telling the truth, who is good and who is bad.
