Confusing but still Intriguing
I enjoyed this multi faceted, layers upon layers of secrets, lies and corruption. Constantly guessing which secrets and lies belonged to which character.
Their was only minor revelations in the Epilogue. I'm assuming a second book will be forthcoming. If not, then I would not recommend this book.

Here's the thing, I have no idea what I just read. It sure is a murder mystery or a psychological thriller. In fact, what the summary of the book says is not even what the book is about. I think one of two things happened: 1) The person that wrote the summary didn't read the book or 2) the person read some other book entirely different from what I read.
The book is supposed to be about a couples getaway that turns tragic. This did not really happen. I mean the couple does go off to a chatlet in the mountains, but everything else is just slightly impossible.
The concept sound good, but there was no logical flow. It was all over the place. Stuff was just not realistic. I just didn't care a bit about this book. It ended in away that makes me think the author is planning on this being a series, at least that's what I think, because there were too many loose ends left.
Thanks to Goodreads for the Kindle Version of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I don't think I've ever before read as much as 80% of a book and THEN stopped like this one. I just finally decided I was DONE with the ridiculous and convoluted story and did not even want to know how it ended.

Not the style of writing I enjoy. Story line all over the place, nothing makes sense, too much vagueness... I just can't even.

Poorly written,poorly edired
Lots of.mistakes, and typos. A good story, though, especially the lockdown in the chalet. Lots of action, but the ending was unsatisfactory. I kinda enjoyed it anyway.

No!
Last week I read a book that I thought was the worst I’d ever read. I was wrong. This is it. The plot of this book is like a bad fever dream - convoluted, confusing, contradictory. It doesn’t help either that it’s poorly written. Please save your money.

Freya and Tav have no sooner settled into their vacation in a state of the art mountain home than they realise they are trapped - the bridge is down and the snow is falling heavily.
The central character, Freya, is unreliable as a witness, she's on and off her meds and her memories are clouded. She's recently has a miscarriage and lost her mother.
Tav comes across as the domineering type with lightning fast mood changes. Is he gaslighting her?
And, just to muddy the waters further, a mysterious stranger is spying on them, and has been for a while.
When Tav opts to ski for help Freya is alone.
"The Sunday Wife" is unsettling, even though not much happens in the first half. The plot is very linear but you feel that there is something lurking around the corner.
And when the plot finally unfolds it is in a completely unexpected manner. But there's still a nagging doubt whether that what Freya learns is true, a variant of the truth, or completely misleading.
Eventually the book spirals out of control, conspiracies within conspiracies, riddles wrapped in enigmas. Or, to put it differently, it gets very, very silly, and not in a good way.
2 Stars.

Did the person who wrote the synopsis actually read the book? The synopsis reads like Freya is locked in a remote mountain cabin, left by her boyfriend to be psychologically tormented with no escape. In reality, that plot point only lasts for about 20% of the book, then twisting into a political, espionage-ish, murder mystery? The plot took a 180° turn into something that wasn’t expected or advertised, but not in a good way? Normally I like layers of twisted deception and lies but this borderlined on too twisted crossing into confusion. Talk of “the lockbox” and who “the enemy” is, makes everything muddled and lost in a very confusing plot. I also really don’t understand the title of “the Sunday wife” maybe I missed the connection. Freya’s mother was labeled “the Sunday wife” because Chuck was only seeing her on the weekends? I didn’t get it. I also didn’t get the connection between freya’s true parentage and what that had to do with these political bombshells chuck was willing to kill to keep secret. Lots of little details that felt distracting and unconnected from the plot.

This book was poorly written and poorly edited. The storyline had so many twists and turns that never lined up in the end. Certain places were very repetitive and others felt like they were from completely different books. At one point, a name was used for the main character that had never been used before, and wasn’t used again. The characters were nothing special and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. As if the mix up of storylines wasn’t confusing enough, poor editing and occasional use of the wrong word made it even more difficult to follow.

What the eff did I just read?? Honestly this book feels like a second draft AT BEST. It’s chaotically all over the place, little makes sense..it feels as if she wrote multiple story lines and just threw them together. Just skip this one
October 15, 2023
Got half way through this book and gave up. The book had been called The Chalet and now it is The Sunday Wife? The story line is so hard to follow, makes no sense, and many errors- I just gave up. Thank goodness I didn’t waste any more time on this.

***I received a free Kindle edition via Goodreads Giveaways in exchange for a honest review.***
I have no idea what I just read. Whoever wrote the summary for the novel either A) did NOT read the book or B) read it and attempted to make it sound more interesting than it was, by lying.
It wasn't a murder mystery, nor was it a psychological thriller, or even a basic thriller. Definitely NOT romance, so I have no idea what to label this as it was vague, jumpy and not very good.
The idea behind the book was a good one. One that could have been a really good book, but it was so bare bones that you never get a feel for a single character or even what is actually happening. The author attempted to go the popular route of having an "unreliable narrator", this time we get a sad pill popper who has experienced not one, not two but at least three of the main tired sub-plots that gets trotted out because we can't have a female lead that doesn't have trauma that completely shapes her life, and consumes her every thought.
We have a sweet, shifty, kind, scary boyfriend. One that I can not figure out if the "heroine" loves or hates. The author makes a play at toying with "is he a good guy or bad guy" but not with subtle storytelling but rather by making the girlfriend swing violently from love to hate to paranoia and back again. I got no sense of who the BF was, other than he seems like a computer addicted asshole that is completely smitten with our leading lady but isn't.
There is the male "best friend", that maybe he is more? Or maybe not. Hard to tell. Our fuzzy headed narrator loves her bf but wants her best friend but not at the cost of her relationship? I'm not sure what was happening there.
We have a stalker, a far away mother, a few random flashbacks and a ridiculously far flung, smart house on a snow covered mountain.
Sounds intriguing, right? Ha. No. The writer lacks a smooth writing style, jumbling together past and present events, in the same paragraph, leaving the reader exhausted from trying to figure out WTF is going on.
She's on the mountain, with her boyfriend for a romantic getaway, which was her idea But his, because its owned by his company? And she is thinking back to her regular life, but then while thinking back, her memory version is also thinking back past events. An editor was sorely needed, or perhaps a better one that was paid for their time.
So, a character that had her heart broken "cried crocodile tears". That phrase means fake tears, but this event shattered a woman? Simple misunderstanding of what crocodile tears means, perhaps, but it left me confused as to if she was actually sad or not.
The term "gnashed" was abused. Several usages of characters "gnashing" their teeth. Once was enough, three times was over kill in a book that took me less than an hour to read.
I feel like the author left the ending open, room for a sequel. Please, don't.
I'm sad that this wasn't better: that the time wasn't taken to flesh out characters, that the style of writing was choppy and confusing and that there seemed to be no point or even an ending. It's disappointing to feel like the author is leading you by the nose, having bipolar characters that are all over the place, and to not even be able to understand what genre the writer was shooting for, despite the add-on that accompanied the title, "A locked door thriller."
A couple of re-writes, a clear picture of what the author is aiming for, with a solid framing of the story (i.e, in depth characters that are steady fast in their actions/thoughts) and one style of storytelling, either flashback style or no flashback, told in order and this might actually be really good.

“Love and Sundays. I hated them equally. By the time this was over, they would both ruin me,” (p. 105).
“The desire to torch my life, so that I might rise like a phoenix from the ashes, was strong,” (p. 21).
Tav and Freya are excited to be getting away for a little vacation up in the mountains. A smart house in the mountains with all the seclusion the woods have to offer. With no WiFi or cell service it’ll be a much needed break from their busy lives. It should be a relaxing trip. Or it should have been. But they aren’t totally alone - it seems someone might have followed them to the mountains.
You know it’s gonna be a bad time when there’s no cell service or WiFi and the characters are essentially trapped in the woods.
Oof. Loved this one! Leigh has delivered another fast-paced, action-packed thriller that you won’t be able to put down until it’s ended. It was one bad thing after another happening here and I enjoyed it all.
I also enjoyed the smart house’s antics. Wouldn’t ever want to experience them but it was so much fun to read. The frigid air and snow capped trees really set this book - you’ll feel the setting of this one. The author did a great job at describing the character’s surroundings.
This book may be a quick read but it’s packed with all the twists and turns that’ll leave your head spinning. I loved how the story began and ended with the same chapters - only more was added of course.
I need more! I love this author!!

If you're looking for somethibg fast paced and with a lot of twists, this is the novel for you
The story/ premise is really good. I was constantly surprised at the different shifts of the plot.
That being said, I did have a few personal opinions.
1. I wish it would have been a bit longer (I know crazy right?) I just feel there was a lot going on, and some of it could've used more time going more in depth. Really set the scene.
2. I felt like Freya and Tav lacked chemistry. This goes back to my first point on the novel being longer. That extra time could've been used to solidify the twos relationship. Same thing with Bradley. We never really got to know his character well.
The author has a really good story here, I just wish they would have worked more on these characters' relationships and added more conversation between them.
At some point, Freya would go on about how much she loved Tav, but then when they talked, it felt like there wasn't any spark between them. The potential was there. It just wasn't used.
Again, I did enjoy this book, and I hope if I read another of this authors work, she better solidifies her characters' relationships.

Where was this going?!
Pace of this book was great, however, I was left with the feeling that I was dropped into the middle of a story that never really answered anything and didn’t really have an ending. I enjoy books that make me have a reaction, but it’s usually not frustration and wondering what I just read! I felt just as the book was building to something, that I turned a page and was reading the epilogue (I seriously had to go back, thinking I must have skipped a chunk of pages, but hadn’t). Again great pace, felt like it was building to something, but then suddenly fell flat…like a novella to set you up for the “actual book”. This is my first introduction to this author, so for arguments sake, I would definitely read another book to compare…but if the next book is like this one…I’ll move on.

This book book has so much potential but ultimately I felt a little let down by the whole thing.
It is too vague and too all over the place and I felt like information was left out- but not in a good, keep you interested in the book, kind of way.
Freya, love her name :), is a good enough protagonist with trauma in her past that she is trying to heal from, handling depression and spots in her memory that she is trying to piece together and who has the strength to finally stand up against Tav and possibly Brad, in the end. It just takes too long to get there!
I think a book about her and Bud would have been better - that seemed like a good relationship. :)

It started off strong and the writing style had me hooked. I was interested in how the story would play out, however by time I got a little more than half way through the book, it went off the rails. The last quarter of the book felt like it was written by someone else- it felt rushed and was confusing. The story didn’t have a definitive ending and more questions were left unanswered than I would have cared for. For such a strong start, it had such a lackluster ending. I’m extremely disappointed and I’m not sure if I’d read anything else by this author. Had I known this would turn into a book about political espionage without any warning and we would never have a resolution I would have skipped it.

This was a crazy story, but in a good way because it made me think and question what was happening throughout the entire book.
The story starts off simply enough with a woman and her fiancee going off for a relaxing getaway to the mountains. The characters are not perfect and we find out a lot of secrets about them. We learn that not everyone is who they say they are or what they seem as we get to know the characters more.
I still don't know who the bad guy is or isn't after reading this book. I don't know if the main character is safe or in danger. I walked away wanting answers but this is a story that will keep you guessing and wondering, even at the end.

I got really interested in the beginning and was excited to find out more to piece this puzzle together only to feel like I was working with pieces from 2 different incomplete puzzles that would never come together for completion. It just fell flat making no sense, so then I thought there must be another book in the series…. I can’t find any info on one. So this wasn’t satisfying for me, but that doesn’t mean others won’t love it because there are many reasons to like it. It is a book that definitely pulls you in the whole time. My brain must can’t make sense of it. Ultimately I learned firm this- don’t trust anyone, even yourself.
November 2, 2024
I'll give this a 3.5/5. I just read other reviews and am so glad I'm not the only one who feels this book was all over the place. The idea of it is great. The actual storyline, though? For a good chunk of the book, I didn't know what I was reading. I questioned myself... have I read too many books back to back? Am I too tired right now? Is it me just not getting it? I gues, in a way, I became Freya, this author being my capture, gaslighting me. Read it, or dont... your life won't be changed in anyway no matter which you decide.
August 24, 2022
Firstly I bought The Chalet but then read The Sunday Wife, first time a book has changed titles whilst reading it. The actual story was all over the place with different characters taking over the story. I also do not like the spoilers given at the end of a chapter. I want to read what’s happening not get hints. I didn’t even care what happened to the characters at the end. A couple of wasted hours spent reading this book.
January 17, 2025
this book straight up sucked the plot was so all over the place and confusing - it was intriguing and interesting up until about half way in when she gets off the mountain and then you just lose me with like all of the reveals all at once like why does she need to kill him twice and why is bradley a stalker but also a good guy and why is she abducted like i wish maybe the mum was alive still it’s such a poorly written story

I couldn't get into this, so I read the reviews. Hopefully, someone had written something like, "Keep reading, it's worth it or it gets better, but they reviews weren't great, so I decided not to finish it and give up. start reading it could be a book you'll like. just not for me. I got this as a 4 book box set for 99p so I haven't rely lost anything this is the 2nd book of the box set, already read book 1 and I did enjoy it The perfect family and I will read book 3 and 4 .
January 16, 2026
Not really a fan of this one. I read until the end hoping to clear up my confusion but wasn’t truly satisfied. There were plenty of unanswered questions, plot holes and so much repetition for no apparent reason. Not to mention random details that led to nowhere, making the narrator unreliable & hard to follow. Elements of suspense were lost in the writing, making this less of a page turner and just felt like the story was dragging on.
August 21, 2021
I really liked the previous book by Adriane but this one fell a little short for me. I did enjoy the plot but the characters, I just couldn't get into. Unfortunately, that ruins a story for me. It did keep you guessing til the end. Not her best book but still recommend to read.

This book’s premise was interesting, but as others have said, it was confusing and all over the place. I found inconsistencies, especially in the character descriptions. The book I read, entitled “The Chalet” — a Kindle version — needs a lot of editing, especially copy editing/proofreading. Overall, I was disappointed.
September 22, 2022
It was an easy read and the beginning got me hooked. Unfortunately towards the end the story just unraveled and had way too many loose ends that didn’t make sense. I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to lead into a second book, but have zero intention on finding out. For an kindle unlimited, it wasn’t bad-I read it in a day-but I wouldn’t recommend spending money or a lot of time on it.
November 4, 2022
Titled 'The Chalet' a quick read with many plot twists. I usually love multiple twists that keep you in suspense, but this had so many at the the end it started at times to become somewhat fantastical. Believe there is a sequel, which I am willing to give a try due to interesting characters, good writing and genre.
October 18, 2024
This book has the basis in my opinion of a really great thriller as it was undoubtedly gripping - however I found myself getting really confused with the plot which seemed to switch around rapidly. I enjoyed reading it despite feeling a bit confused 😂 I would have liked a more rounded ending - the current ending felt very sudden. I will definitely try this author again.

The Sunday Wife is a psychological story which has a complex plot which can be confusing at times. It is an intense read which reveals the true relationship of the characters.
