Natasha can't drive. An adult woman in London who can't drive? I don't think so. Natasha's mother drives and has a car. I'm thankful that I have a Paramount+ subscription so I could watch it.

I had a much better experience with this author the second time around...I'm glad I gave her another go. 😊 What really happened to North's ex-wife? As Cross takes on this new cold case, he encounters an insurmountable obstacle: the body he's looking into has been cremated.

And then he drops another bombshell. Quite by accident. He and Norah are trying IVF. They are planning to have a baby together. No, this cannot be happening. Suddenly, Norah is threatening to take everything else away from her carefully laid plans and Alice couldn't let that happen. And so what ensues is one bad decision after another which ultimately leads to Alice sitting in a prison cell awaiting trial for murder. How did it come to this? How did she get here? The story is set in two different timescales, it’s a double narrative so we get two sides of the story, one from Natasha and one from Jen. If you enjoy your Pyschological Thrillers to keep you guessing and have delicious twists then you will want to read The Ex Wife!I am insanely in love with George Cross, a perfect detective for our time and for all time' Stephen Fry Natasha is struggling to make it as a barista in the city. Living on a tight budget, she cycles to work daily until one fateful day dramatically changes her life for the better - or so she thought. A roller coaster ride with amazingly fleshed out characters. If you are tired of reading thrillers where you just can't understand a character's motivation, give this one a shot. You'll question the characters in the beginning, but as the book goes on, Jess Ryder explains them so well and makes you understand their motivations, their weaknesses, their strengths... everything about them. There's plenty of crazy situations in this one, and lots of surprises to keep you on your toes. I’m still not sure what I just read. I definitely didn’t love it. I didn’t hate it either but found it very slow to really get good. Then the last like 4 chapters you can’t stop reading because it’s all unraveling, but it still isn’t tied up with a neat bow.

The Ex-Wife: Where to watch and who's in the cast?". www.goodto.com. Goodto Know. 20 October 2022 . Retrieved 14 November 2022. Natasha is a new wife and mother. She’s married to a strikingly handsome, wealthy husband who adores her, and a beautiful young daughter she loves with all her heart. Sounds fairly close to perfect...right? Thank you to Bookouture, NetGalley, and Jess Ryder for an advanced reader copy of The Ex-Wife!I hope to read more of Ryder's books in the future! J. Cape & H. Smith [1929]; Grosset & Dunlap [1930]; New American Library [1989]; McNally Editions [2023]. I was also educated as I hadn't seen the Harold Wilson statue mentioned in the story nor the Antony Gormley sea statues so I googled both after I just finished. The sea figures are especially fascinating. There were a couple of real laugh-out-loud moments in it, despite the seriousness of the tale itself. Now't wrong with a little bit of light relief and it doesn't go overboard in the least on the comedic front, trust me....I like my murderation taken seriously.The Ex-Wife is a fast paced psychological thriller with lots of twists and turns that kept me up late at night trying to figure out how and where it ends. Narrated in the past and present with two different POV’s Jess Ryder does a bang up job of building up suspense in this entertaining novel which I would definitely recommend. The new fiancé for the husband is trying to make everything work and make one big happy home. What we don’t see is all of the secondary characters, and how major their roles really are in the story.

Céline adds: "Keeping the ex wife in the picture sounds quite bad. But breaking off a relationship in a conflicty way sounds really bad too. I can understand how a newer wife who’s younger and who’s quite in awe of this other sophisticated woman thinks, ‘Who am I to ban someone from seeing this person they’ve spent x amount of time with?’" Newly married Natasha has the perfect house, a loving husband and a beautiful little girl called Emily. She’d have it all if it wasn’t for Jen, her husband’s ex-wife who just won’t leave them alone … Ursula Parrott’s Ex-Wife . . . gives us an idea of what it would be like to walk into [a] museum and or gallery and see a portrait of how we might have looked [then]: all of us dressed in stylish flapper clothes, swilling bootleg gin, chattering and flirting.” She’s feeling unsettled. She did like the house, she did like that life. But it’s been corrupted and she can’t quite put her finger on why, so when she starts to feel uncomfortable she thinks it must be the house or it must be because she’s not working." Wow wow wow this book was simply brilliant! Jess Ryder Took me on one crazy ride.... this is my first book from this author, but it is definitely not my last! Admittedly up until about 35% I was a little unsure as to what was going on and then... BAM! huge swerve and then the twists kept coming!The plot itself is hugely affecting with layer-upon-layer of betrayal, innocence lost, guilt and revenge. It is intriguing, unsettling and fresh. The book was a commercial success in 1929, and it maintained its success throughout the depression era 1930s, but fell out of print. It was reissued in 1989 and now in 2023. It was originally published anonymously "to underscore the salaciousness of its material." [1] [3] Shortly after the book’s publication, the media began hunting for the author's identity, and whether the protagonist’s portrayal was actually fictional, somewhat autobiographical or was critiquing a culture undergoing tectonic shifts. [2] By August 1929, the year of this book's publication, the successful sleuthing revealed the author to be " Katherine Ursula Parrott, a journalist and fashion writer..." [2]
