Our main character Jennifer had just returned back to work as a doctor after the disappearance and suspected death of her beloved husband Jeremy in a avalanche whilst he was on a ski trip in Switzerland. As well as struggling with her feelings of grief, she was also being haunted by flashbacks to a conference that she had attended in Oxford. She couldn't escape the feeling that something horrific had happened whilst she had been away but her memories of the events were all scattered and fragmented. She was also worried about her teenage son Kieran and the distance that had developed between them since his father's death. It is during her second day back at work that a handsome new patient called Scott walked into her consultation room and turned Jennifer's life into a living nightmare. Jennifer can't escape the uncanny feeling that she had met Scott before and that despite his charming demeanour, he also had a hidden dark side and was very dangerous. Who was Scott? Why had he suddenly inserted himself into Jennifer's life? Why did she feel like she was being watched whilst she was out running?Jennifer was a complex and at times flawed individual who obviously cared about her son but was still struggling with her grief as well as adapting to life as a single parent. She also cared about her patients especially a elderly lady called Elsie who was obviously struggling to cope on her own and was haunted by feelings of grief and guilt over a shocking event that had happened almost thirty years before. Jennifer certainty had some redeemable qualities to her character and I did feel a lot of empathy for her during the moments when she took the reader back in time and gave us a insight into her feelings of paranoia and anxiety during her interactions with Jeremy before he left for his fatal trip. She just didn't help herself at times and made some really stupid decisions during her earlier interactions with obnoxious, manipulative Scott. Why couldn't she have just been honest with Kieran who was sixteen and explain the situation instead of suffering in silence? I found it so frustrating that she was more worried about her reputation and what other people might think about her than the mess that her life had turned into.I thought Rhonda who was married to a Detective Sergeant called Chris, had a teenage daughter called Caitlin and was Jennifer's very loyal best friend was a fantastic character. Rhonda wasn't adverse to channelling her inner Miss Marple and out of worry for her friend started conducting her own investigations into Jeffery and events from the past. Only, as the story unfolded, she began to uncover dark secrets and hidden truths that would have a shocking effect on herself and her own family.Scattered throughout the book was chapters that slipped back in time to the early 90s and featured Evan and Mac, two young boys who were the outcasts at their school, Evan being the victim of a champaign of viscous and nasty bullying. The poor kid couldn't even get any respite from bullying at home due to living with a violent and abusive stepfather. It was obvious almost from the moment that Even was introduced into the story that he suffered from some serious mental health issues. But how did his and Mac's stories fit into events that were unfolding in the present day?Jesus,Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey, I think this book is absolutely bloody incredible and that Samantha Hayes has excelled her own high standards of writing with this latest addition to her addictive catalogue. The plot is intricate, gripping, keeps the reader guessing and has more twists and turns than a whole theme park of roller coasters and the author adds more intrigue to this addictive read by throwing in a few red herrings along the way. There was one mind blowing revelation that almost caused me to drop my kindle in shock and I ended up just sitting staring at the word's whilst doing a very bad impersonation of omg cat. The issues that were raised in this book were realistic and relatable as was the small cast of vivid characters. I love Samantha Haye's captivating thrillers and The Trapped Wife was no exception. Very very highly recommended and definitely going to be one of my favourite reads of this year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Ummmm?! *by L***4 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2021* I didn’t dislike this book but parts of it were just not believable and a few of the characters bothered me. It was quite predictable and I wasn’t gripped from the start. It was an ok book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous read a really twisted story *by T***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2024* A thriller to reall y get your teeth into ## Frequently Bought Together - The Trapped Wife: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist - The Ex-Husband: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist - The Happy Couple: An absolutely unputdownable and gripping psychological thriller --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/355156884-the-trapped-wife-an-absolutely-gripping-psychological-thriller-with-mind](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/355156884-the-trapped-wife-an-absolutely-gripping-psychological-thriller-with-mind) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
