The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth

4.0

Pippa and Gabe appear to be the perfect couple. They adore each other and their two girls. However, Gabe is unpredictable and mercurial - Pippa can never be sure what is coming next or which secret will be revealed. Max and Amanda have a very businesslike arrangement in their marriage. There is little emotion expressed and their partnership runs like a well-oiled machine. Then one day a woman falls from The Drop - the steep cliff right next to Pippa and Gabe's house, and Gabe's attempt to save her fails. But did she really jump, or was she pushed? What other secrets are lying in wait?

This was an enjoyable, fast-paced domestic thriller and a very quick read. The chapters are quite short and the POV switches between the four main characters. There are just enough secrets revealed at intervals to keep the reader engaged, but I cannot say there are any real shockers or big plot twists in here. It is ultimately a well-constructed novel with a storyline that held my interest throughout, and a good summer read to grab before summer disappears. If you are already a fan of Sally Hepworth, no doubt you will enjoy this one.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press!
