Editorial reviews:
“An addictive, compelling read that pushed me well out of my comfort zone - if you like disturbingly twisty plot lines and dark characters then this is definitely the read for you.†Lisa Hall, Author of the best selling psychological thriller Between You and Me
"The Optician's Wife is a stylish, brilliantly crafted thriller which really delivers. A very real sense of creeping dread, combined with intelligent, finely drawn characters, had me turning the pages late into the night. This one will linger with you, long after the book is finished. Reavley has delivered a masterclass and deserves to be up there with the best in the business." L J Ross - Bestselling author of The DCI Ryan books.
"A fabulously dark and twisted psychological thriller which kept me gripped and on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Five stars." Tracy Fenton - THE Book Club
"This is Betsy Reavley at her most volatile best. Nothing about this fascinating plot line is as it seems, with an equally unpredictable finale. A brilliant read from a superb author." Anita Waller - Bestselling author of Beautiful and Angel.
"If you want a well written walk on the dark side of humanity then this is a must read."Fiona - Goodreads
