Summary

The love of your life...or a deadly mistake?

It’s hard meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the tears and accusations, the desperate look on his face as he punched the wall, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster.

You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world.

You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking.

The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

You hesitate, your throat dry, good and bad memories swirling in your mind. You’ve missed him so much...but can you ever trust him again?

You decide that the most important thing is doing what’s right for baby Tom. But months later, when the sirens wail in the night, you have to admit: You never thought either of you would go this far....

A brilliantly twisty psychological thriller from number one best-selling author S.E. Lynes about a relationship full of secrets and lies. Fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Gillian Flynn will be gripped by The Ex.

Easy to read.

I enjoyed the book but found it a bit predictable. Relaxing read, story easy to follow.

Not the best

I didn’t really enjoy this book. Found it very slow and not really interesting until towards the end. Story a bit predictable. I turned up the speed to get through it quicker in the end

returned after 1st chapter.

this was so predictable I returned it. do not like mention of pandemic at all times also. so depressing. I have almost enjoyed previous Lyness books but her writing has deteriorated. like many authors she is rushing to get books out.
