It’s not all smooth sailing in The
Ex-Husband, a heart-pounding crime thriller by Karen Hamilton set mostly
aboard the Cleobella, a private luxury cruise ship traveling from Cornwall to
the Caribbean.
Charlotte works as an event planner on the ship. She’s
determined to leave her sordid past behind. She married and later divorced,
Sam, a charming swindler--a cruise-ship card dealer--who roped Charlotte into
cons that once usurped wealthy passengers out of their fortunes. But that was then.
Charlotte is determined to get her life back on track now that Sam--and their
tricks--are behind them. But with Sam missing
and Charlotte suddenly receiving anonymous messages regarding her once criminal
behavior, the past and its haunting sends her into panic. Who’s behind the black-mailing
mind games that could do Charlotte in?
As in The
Perfect Girlfriend and The
Last Wife, Hamilton presents deeply flawed characters readers can root
for. A well-researched setting enhances the suspense that unspools through exotic
ports of call from the Bahamas to Tobago. Dark, psychological undercurrents
of deceit and lies--how the past braids in with the present--create surprising shifts amid the course of this turbulent, juicy story.
