So crazy twisty!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2019

Huge The Other Woman fan here. My fave thriller last year and let me tell you the anxiety runs high once again in this one. In the best possible way!

I know, I know… anxiety is NOT a good thing… but when I’m so immersed in a story that it alone gives me the feels like I need to pop a xanax or two…? The thriller. Has done. It’s job.

Sandie Jones has managed to bring on the nervous ticks, the deep breaths, and the high-alert paranoia once again! And in the BEST way!

Alice is on husband #2 and after losing her first beloved – she finally feels like she is ready to be fully happy again. Business is great. Kids are fantastic. Beautiful house and husband… and then she meets Beth. And, well, she seems like the bestest friend one could ever want to tell all her secrets and complaints to. Until things start getting weird.

And the more weird it got, the more confused I got. I had no idea what the heck was going on at one point and I was pointing fingers at every damn character in the book. And as the best thrillers go… I pointed wrong every single time.

I loved this one. I adore Sandie Jones and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!

Alice is married to Nathan. She & her 1st husband (Tom) had a daughter (Sophia) who is now 15. Tom is deceased. Alice was unexpectedly widowed about 10 years ago. Nathan adopted Sophia. Alice & Nathan have a daughter (Olivia) who is 9. They live in London (where WHILST is a word they use ALOT!!!)

Alice owns & manages an interior design firm. She's about to close on a BIG deal, in Japan. She & Nathan will buy land, build apartments, design the interiors & then sell them. But, Alice is having second thoughts. She can't leave the girls & fly halfway around the world. Everytime she thinks about it, she's paralyzed by fear. And, she isn't convinced their marriage is going to survive. She suspects he's fooling around with someone else.

Alice finds an earring in Nathan's car. It doesn't belong to her or her daughters. Then, a huge bouquet is delivered to her. But, the card is addressed to "my darling Rachel". Naturally, she assumes Nathan meant to send the flowers to his mistress, not his wife. And, she finds a hotel receipt for a couples massage, in his overnight bag. She's convinced her husband is cheating. Of course, he denies it. She starts taking antidepressants & drinking more than ever. She doesn't believe a word he says, anymore.

Her best friend (Beth) has a daughter Millie. Millie has never known her father. He left when Beth was pregnant & they never saw him again. She found out, purely by chance, that he was seeing someone else. She didn't have a clue. Now, 9 years later, Beth wants to find him. Millie is starting to wonder why her daddy left. Why he didn't stay long enough to meet her? But, more than anything, Beth wants revenge.

Fantastic thriller that will keep you guessing until the end!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

This one was insane. I was captivated from the beginning and it really never let up until the end and I loved it. So many twists and what is his deal and what is she thinking and ugh the bff is shifty but then you learn more about her and so many dots that I couldn’t connect until I did and then whoaaaa. Are you tired now? So was I, but this was so much fun to go through!

This was a great thriller that had me guessing until the very end, I had most of it figured out but a couple of things I couldn’t tie together and that is just fine with me as I like not having it all figured out. Told in the past and the present for Alice and Beth, I enjoyed both stories and then how the two came together. Very well done in my opinion and I liked this one so much better than her first book, The Other Woman.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ecopy to review!

Suspensful and intriguing.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This author knows how to write a gripping psychological thriller and best of all her books are lessons in disguise to readers. People don’t change. They just reveal their true colours. When someone repeats an action, it becomes a pattern and lastly, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
This story takes the guise of a domestic story but is so much more. Two women. Both wronged by the same man. What are the chances that they will meet, become friends and so much more?
When you get that little whisper before it becomes a nudge, check it out. If it becomes a nudge, make sure it never becomes the brick in your face.
Alice suffers the death of her first husband and while grieving and vulnerable she meets a knight in shining armour, Nathan. Three months later she is pregnant.
Meanwhile, just a few months earlier, Beth meets a charmer on an internet dating site who cons her and her mother out of their life’s savings. He also leaves her pregnant.
When Alice suspects that Nathan is having an affair, Alice turns to Beth to help her find the truth. Four and a half stars.

Her best friend Beth lost her boyfriend when he ran off with her mother’s money and she was left pregnant and alone. Alice is remarried to Nathan and they are making a success of the interior design company she started with Tom. Everything seems to be going well for Alice until she begins to suspect that Nathan is cheating on her. Things get worse when Beth’s daughter starts asking about her father and Alice says she will help Beth locate him and the only thing Beth really knows about him is his name and birth date which happens of be the same as her dead husband’s, who would have died before being able to father Beth’s daughter.

Solid domestic drama, engaging and well-written, but all a bit predictable..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

The First Mistake is the second novel by Sandie Jones and although I have yet to read her debut bestseller, The Other Woman, I had heard good things about her writing and was looking for a quick and engaging read. I can’t however say I was overly inspired by the premise as there is very little unexplored territory in the ‘my husband is cheating and can I trust my best friend?’ domestic thriller genre. And although Sandie Jones puts an innovative spin on the set-up, lays on the melodrama and delivers a twist filled and engaging read, the story is ultimately very predictable and arguably not helped by its structure of three equal parts, all of which individually lack depth.

The first part of the story is narrated by Alice Davies, sole owner and creative influence behind her successful AT Designs interiors company, married mother of two with a plush house and affluent lifestyle. However, Alice, has also known tragedy and after the unexpected death of her first husband, Tom, whose inheritance founded the company, she feels blessed to have met second husband, Nathan, whose love and support brought her back from the depths of depression. Although on the surface things look wonderful for Alice, she is besieged by anxiety, paranoia and low self-esteem and still dependent on antidepressants with a tendency to turn to the bottle in stressful times. She even worries that Nathan is very clearly the second man in her life, with deceased Tom on a pedestal as cherished first love. As Nathan champions a risky business venture in Tokyo, it coincides with Alice starting to become suspicious about his loyalty and a few signs that he might not be the faithful man she believes. Best friend of two years and mother of Olivia’s classmate, Beth, reassures her, but why is Beth acting so vague, might she be the other woman, and how can Tom, whom Alice believed to be dead, suddenly be posting on Facebook?

After 150 pages of Alice’s narrative, the baton switches to Beth nine years earlier and takes the reader completely out of Alice’s story just when it feels like it’s beginning to unfold. This section in itself is a heavily extenuated backstory and after a few pages it becomes clear where it’s going and lacks any form of suspense. From here on in The First Mistake’s eventual storyline and shocking twists will be mere confirmation for a savvy reader of this genre and at the halfway point this domestic drama becomes disappointingly formulaic. The final third brings together the present day combination of Alice and Beth to take the story home..

Although the melodrama and action on all fronts is high, the characterisation proved disappointing and I struggled to get under the skin of Alice or Beth or develop much understanding of them. Likewise their supposedly firm friendship seems far too superficial to invest and believe in, much like the whole story itself! On the upside Sandie Jones’ prose is highly readable and the short chapters kept me turning the pages in a solid domestic drama.

Very well written

And it draws you in from the very start.
The only downside is that it was obvious when the book got to part two exactly what was going on.
I won't spoil it for anyone about to read the book,and it is great,but in my humble opinion there was no suspense.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story line took a bit of working out at times as it jumps around a lot and you have to keep track of what's going on now and then. But overall, a good read.
