During her career Adele has lived in Italy, Botswana and London. Now she lives happily in Surrey, UK with her husband, son and cat.
Both of You investigates the disappearance of two women in the same week. Leigh Fletcher is a married woman with an average life but a demanding job. She’s step-mum to two teenage boys that she dotes on. She has more than an awkward relationship with her mother, there is a toxicity pulsing off her and you wonder just how Leigh copes with her comments and demands. We see just how her relationship with her husband Mark begins, the instant attraction, the love felt for the boys. It’s how I imagine a lot of marriages are… but what’s that I can see, a creeping shadow that isn’t quite revealing itself. I listened to the book and was thrilled with the narrator! She managed so many speech patterns and accents I often though there was more than one performer. As for the mystery, I guessed most of it incorrectly but at least the culprit was someone I suspected. That ending…well, it left me speechless. Get ready for a journey you won’t want to interrupt and some clever twists. I couldn’t put the book down because I just had to know whodunit. Leigh married a widower with two small boys. She happily steps into the role of stepmother and falls in love with the children. They struggle like most families, but Leigh loves being a wife and mother.Adele Parks is the biz at writing stories, words reach and grab you and it all flows so brilliantly, so when it is not the best plot/probably even implausible you can forgive it as the writing keeps you fixed, without consideration of giving it up This twisty thriller was engrossing and I was keen to see how the story would conclude. With a range of narrative perspectives, it was interesting to see how the disappearances and their investigations unfold. Leigh is married to Mark and a stepmother to Mark's sons. Leigh left for work one morning and never returned home. Both Rose and Lucy would love nothing better than to embody Connie’s life. Connie isn’t just happily married. She also has two thriving kids even while pursuing a successful career. Overall, the author's character development was strong and the book's storyline was fast-paced and intriguing -- even though there was some repetitive text and the book's ending was abrupt.
I know it probably seems like I say this after every one of Adele's new books, but I think this is my favourite to date - proof that she just keeps getting better and better I guess?! Alison doesn’t want to believe him but the evidence begins to corroborate his story. If that wasn’t bad enough, the man tells Allison that his wife died of cancer and that Katherine might have inherited it. Adele attributes her considerable visibility to her chatty persona. She is also fairly opinionated. As such, while many of her peers in the publishing arena would rather disappear behind a computer, Adele is out in public making her voice heard. DC Clements interviews the husbands that reported their wives missing. She’s suspicious of both husbands’ involvements. Is the narrative that its always the husband true? What clues are left behind? Is there something that they aren’t telling her? Connect the dots and the truth will come home to roost.Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks was a little different to a lot of missing person novels by letting the reader have a point of view from the missing woman which gave a tense edge to the story. The novel also has a few twists and turns to make it stand out and keep a reader on the edge as the story unfolds. The ending was a tad over the top but quite honestly I completely enjoyed that it was and it felt to me like the perfect fit for an unusual missing person case. Definitely an author to watch out for in the future. Both of You is the perfect novel for me to recommence book blogging with, after all as any regular/previous readers of my blog will know, Adele Parks is my absolute favourite author. DC Clements is in charge of an investigation that has no shortage of red herrings and compelling twists and turns.
Adele Parks tries to bring that same drama and complexity to her books. She isn’t too keen on producing contemporary romance novels filled with desperate women engaging in catty exchanges. Smart and thought-provoking with an absolutely brilliant mid-point twist' T.M. Logan, bestselling author of Trust Me Just as Police Detective Clements is called in to search for Leigh, although she believes Leigh either decided she needed a break from her family or wanted to upset her husband, the other call comes in about another missing woman, and that is Kai Janssen. Even though the women are so unalike, Detective Clements can’t seem to stop thinking the two cases are somehow connected.As always with Adele Parks this is an absolutely gripping read' Richard Osman, No. 1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club Both wives are from two very different worlds. Both husbands did not immediately report their wives missing. Woman Last Seen follows the disappearances of Kai Janssen and Leigh Fletcher. Kai has been married to Daan a wealthy businessman for a few years and they have no kids. It is not uncommon for them to be away from each other for multiple days each week what with his demanding job and Kai visiting/tending to her ill mother. Leigh and Mark have been married for ten years and she is the stepmother to his two sons from a previous marriage. Both women are reported missing by their husbands around the same time and DC Celements is called in to investigate both cases. Do these women know one another? Both are keeping secrets, could their disappearances be related? Were the husbands involved? Both of You is quite a hard novel to review without giving too much away, but I'll do my best ... I'm a little of practice now.
