Lover Husband Father Monster

by Elsie Johnstone, Graeme Johnstone

A chilling story of the disintegration of a marriage, 'Lover, Husband, Father, Monster' traces the fragmentation of the relationship between Jennifer - law graduate, wife and mother - and Stuart, successful Dublin businessman, husband and father. Reacting to his domineering approach, she finds solace in a former lover. His trust betrayed, Stuart vows to hurt her in a way she'll never forget. In a finale that shocks everyone to the core, he does. Told in two voices, 'Lover, Husband, Father, Monster' outlines how a marriage with even the best of intentions can become engulfed in tragedy. This is a story that stays with the reader long after the book is finished.

Nothing is more frustrating than getting to the end of a book and having it not actually be the end! I do not want to have to buy the 2nd one in order to find out what happened. Nor do I want to read his side of the story. I just want it to be done. Of course I'm going to have to read the other book just to find out what happens to these people. So frustrating!

This is a book in two parts. Her Story and His Story. I read "her story" and now need to find "his", not only to get both perspectives, but to find out how it ends.

Interesting concept, although I did feel like I was in a lifetime movie quite a bit.

On to the second book.

i couldn't put this book down! I'm still saying 'O-M-G!!!' It was great how they gave both sides to the story. The end was so unexpected! OMG!!!

Love this book, "Her Story" is a gripping story of love and tragedy, the cliffhanger will leave you desperate to read "His Story".

I didn't like how this ended. I get why the authors did it, but it is not a happy ending....at all.
