#BlogTour ‘The Other Woman’ by Jane Isaac

About the book…

The grieving widow. The other woman. Which one is which?

When Cameron Swift is shot and killed outside his family home, DC Beth Chamberlain is appointed Family Liaison Officer. Her role is to support the family – and investigate them.

Monika, Cameron’s partner and mother of two sons, had to be prised off his lifeless body after she discovered him. She has no idea why anyone would target Cameron.

Beth can understand Monika’s confusion. To everyone in their affluent community, Monika and her family seemed just like any other. But then Beth gets a call.

Sara is on holiday with her daughters when she sees the news. She calls the police in the UK, outraged that no one has contacted her to let her know or offer support. After all, she and Cameron had been together for the last seven years.

Until Cameron died, Monika and Sara had no idea each other existed.

As the case unfolds, Beth discovers that nothing is quite as it appears and everyone, it seems, has secrets. Especially the dead…

My thanks to the wonderful Vicky Joss at Aria Fiction for the blogtour invite and my gifted review copy of ‘‘The Other Woman’ by Jane Isaac (also known as ‘After He’s Gone’)

How on earth would you feel if you were called by friends to watch the latest news, to find out your husband had been shot dead outside the family home….except, that family home is not where you live with him and your two children…

This is the USP of series opener, and intriguing thriller, ‘The Other Woman’ which introduces us the DC Beth Chamberlain, a family liason officer with the police who spends her professional life putting shattered families back together whilst her own is lying in the rubble of shattered relationships.

As she negotiates between the women in the life of Cameron Swift, both women are fractured from the heart on out as they struggle to piece how both families managed to exist simultaneously, yet so far apart.

The investigation manages to begin piecing who Cameron really was ,but the biggest mystery of what looks like an organised kill, is how he managed to create relationships with 2 women with no connections, no family and very few friends.

And maybe the answer to what really happened is a little closer to home than anyone could possibly realise…

Here is a cracking series opener which gives a great insight into the profession of family liason officers, this offers a fresh perspective in this humble reader’s opinion, on the police procedural novel. The twisted,complicated plot reveals create a vortex of complex relationships, organised crime and family dynamics which really impressed me. This is my first Jane Isaac novel, but I am hoping to read more, both those featuring Beth Chamberlain and those that don’t.
