My Husband's Lover

Solid Mystery/ Suspense. This is an interesting tale told mostly from the perspective of a wife whose husband had informed her (before the events of this book) that he had had an affair - and now she's trying to pick up the pieces of her life. The other perspective we (sporadically) get is mysterious... until it outs itself in a rather shocking twist. Ryder here manages to convey the isolation of her environment well - isolation that this American didn't realize was possible at all on that particular island across the pond. And she uses this isolation well to both increase the sense of danger and to convey the emotions swirling around her central characters. Truly a solid read within its genre, and very much recommended.
