I absolutely loved and was blown away by The Orchid Girls which was one of my favourite reads of last year. I couldn't wait to find out what Lesley Sanderson would come up with for her second book and if it would live up to the brilliance of its predecessor. I'm sure many readers have experienced that sense of second book apprehension. But I needn't have worried because The Woman At 46 Heath Street is just as twisty,compelling and brilliant as The Orchid Girls.
Ella lives in a beautiful house that her husband Chris inherited from his mother Nancy. Ella has the perfect life until the day she receives a letter informing her that her husband is having an affair. She is totally devastated when Chris not only admits that he is cheating on her but also informs Ella that he wants to sell the house and that she will have to move out. Ella can't believe that Chris could be so cruel,he knows how much she adores the house. So Ella comes up with a plan,she will ask her friend,Alice to move in,to help keep her afloat and keep the loneliness at bay.
Only Alice has her own reasons for wanting to live at 46 Heath Street.
The chapters alternate between Ella and Alice in the present day and Nancy's diary entries set in the past. Each character was vivid and realistic and their stories had me totally enthralled and frantically turning the pages. What was Alice up too? Was she,Chris or both of them behind all the mysterious occurrences at Ella's house? What secrets were hidden behind the front door of 46 Heath Street? The descriptions of the house and Hampstead Heath were stunning,it was like the setting for the story was a character in its own right.
The woman At 46 Heath Street is a edge of your seat,compelling,twist packed thriller with an added dash of poetic justice that had me hooked in from the very first page. Lesley Sanderson's words flow with ease,drawing the reader into her characters fictional world. Captivating the reader throughout her gripping story. Well worth far more than five stars and highly recommended by little old me.
