THE WOMAN BEFORE BY JENNIFER MOORE – BOOK REVIEW

PUBLISHED BY HQ DIGITAL ON 13th JULY 2022

When Fern and Paul move into the large, old house on Crenellation Lane, with beautiful high ceilings and a luscious garden, they think they’ve found their dream home. After the devastating loss of Fern’s twin sister, it will be a fresh start and somewhere to raise their first baby.

A destructive obsession

But as soon as they arrive, Fern starts having terrifying nightmares about the woman who lived there before. When the woman showed Fern around, they bonded over their pregnancies. Now, Fern can’t let her go. Does she have something to do with the strange things happening in the house? Paul fears his wife has relapsed, obsessing in the same way she did with her twin.

A fatal secret

Fern questions the neighbours about the previous owner, but nobody wants to talk. It’s like the woman never even existed. Refusing to give up, Fern uncovers a shocking secret and now suddenly her whole family is in danger

Grief does awful things to some people but to lose your twin would be devastating, but is Fern losing her mind or just imagining things? Her husband does not believe her or is he somehow involved? Many questions went through my head as I was reading this story so it definitely keeps you gripped until the end. Well written with good characters that work really well together. I enjoyed reading this and not knowing what was going to happen next or how it would all turn out.
