Critics Review
This complex, fascinating psychological thriller has a real twist at the end.
Atmospheric and psychologically acute throughout - Sunday Times
Kent is an extremely fine writer and makes terrific use in particular of the Fens’ waterlogged, empty landscape in which secrets can be easily buried if never quite forgotten … Terrifyingly good. - MetroChristobel Kent is one of our most assured thriller writers. The Loving Husband is a perfectly paced and plotted novel. - Good HousekeepingUnsettling domestic thriller … Spooky and skilfully written, this is one to race through - Sunday MirrorFirmly in the currently fashionable “domestic noir” genre, but this is no catchpenny trend-chasing; Kent effortlessly rises above other entries in the field … the familiar is confronted and inverted and Kent’s ace in the hole is her keen penetration of the characters’ psychology, particularly that of beleaguered heroine Fran - Financial TimesShocking in the extreme. The Loving Husband is a twisted psychological thriller - SunA finely-crafted series of flashbacks … excellent thriller … tense, dense, extremely well-plotted and beautifully written, this is a fine example of the Domestic Noir genre - Sunday Irish IndependentA tautly plotted trail of red herrings, scares and eventual revelations that keep the Gone Girl fever-type buzz alive - Weekend SportChristobel Kent
