What I thought was going to be a crime/ thriller, turned out to be a boring story with a few murders briefly mentioned. Dorothy’s writing on love and relationships are never simple as her protagonists are mostly angst-ridden complex women with secrets.

Both of them love rom-coms and they use this to discuss the guy who was staring hard at Cleo who proves to be Heath Sawyer.

I have read several of Dorothy Koomson's other novels, including The Ice Cream Girls, The Brighton Mermaid and Tell Me Your Secret, and this novel, My Other Husband is just as good. My Other Husband is fantastic in so many ways, it draws you into Cleo’s life, like your standing outside the window watching the drama unfold.

This is another winner from a very talented author and someone whose books I will always want to read. I took up various temping jobs and eventually got my big break writing, editing and subbing for various women's magazines and national papers. Usually, this would be a positive for me as I prefer to be shocked than for a story to go down the obvious route, but I did feel slightly let down when a new twist came into play. Dorothy Koomson is a go-to author for me, here she successfully spins and weaves together fascinating characters, formidable secrets, and darkly knotted tension.There is a split timeline so in the present, Cleo is an author – her book, The Baking Detective, is being adapted into a successful TV series and she’s working on the scripts.

Nigerian food makes me feel nostalgic and reminds me of when I lived with my grandmother and how close I was to the authentic street food in Lagos.I use my writing to try to explore what I’m feeling, I try to get into the heads of other people so I can see things from their point of view. I won’t say any more as I don’t want to put spoilers in this review but trust me, this is such a unique story – I haven’t read a thriller with something similar, so good!

I was on the edge of my seat, biting my nail, troubled many times as certain revelations took place.She is a very different person in the present day and it’s intriguing trying to work out what, how and why her life has imploded. I wasn't expecting to get so emotionally involved with the characters, and i have to admit that the last chapter (before the epilogue) literally had me in tears. I didn’t know what to expect from this book, I really had no clue what would happen and how it would end. My Other Husband was a long time coming, since the publication of her book The Flavours of Love I’ve been thinking a story with food and murder from another angel would be brilliant. Things really start to fall apart, though, when someone tries to frame her murder – in the same ways as the crimes she makes up.
