AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family

The End of Her will keep you guessing right up to the end . . . once you pick it up, you will not want to put it down.”—USA Today

"[Shari Lapena is] the queen of the one-sit read"Linwood Barclay

A long-ago accident—and a visitor from out of the blue. . .

Stephanie and Patrick are adjusting to life with their colicky twin girls. The babies are a handful, but even as Stephanie struggles with the disorientation of sleep deprivation, there's one thing she's sure of: she has all she ever wanted.

Then Erica, a woman from Patrick's past, appears and makes a disturbing accusation. Patrick had always said his first wife's death was an accident, but now Erica claims it was murder.

Patrick insists he's innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. Still, Erica knows things about Patrick—things that make Stephanie begin to question her husband. Stephanie isn't sure what, or who, to believe. As Stephanie's trust in Patrick begins to falter, Patrick stands to lose everything. Is Patrick telling the truth—is Erica the persuasive liar Patrick says she is? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake?

How will it end?

Predictable

Not the riveting, nail biting thriller I was expecting. Story line was very predictable and POV’s all over the place which made it sometimes confusing. It kept my attention but was not overly impressed.

weak characters

Characters were not believable. The amount of blackmailing that took place and not dealt with was frustrating. The storyline s were too unrealistic and some were irrelevant. I didn't mind listening to the book, but I could have made a better choice!

Good book

It was a really interesting book! The end still has me questioning if it was really done appropriately. Feels like the end was rushed.

Meh

Storyline kind of dragged on without many twists and turns, and ultimately concluded in a foreseeable and frustrating ending. Narrator was excellent though!

The End of Her

A good read filled with mystery, love, suspense and deceit. Set in normal circumstances it goes to show you never really know your partner. The ending left me wanting more, so I long hopefully for part 2.

Thrillerish

To be honest I didn’t love the narration, particularly the male voices, but that’s just me. With that being said it grew on me. I enjoyed the stories twists and turns and the end is definitely a good surprise. However, at times felt drawn out. If you like a mild thriller/mystery it’s a good pick!

Definitely worth the credit

Finished this one a while ago but for some reason haven't reviewed it here.
Very suspenseful, smart, drew me in instantly and I couldn't put it down. Loved almost everything about this book, but the end was a little underwhelming and lacked some catharsis for me.
The only thing that doesn't make any sense to me is how come the rich couple couldn't afford some help with their twins. They are so sleep deprived, cannot funcfion, work, they are totally miserable for months and nobody thought of hiring a nanny for a few hours a day, not to mention we are talking TWINS. I don't know why it bothered me so much....I guess it made the story less credible.
Despite this, I highly recommend this title, enjoyable and the narration is top notch!
