About this item

The BRAND NEW psychological thriller from the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Nurse!

She wants what you have...

Hannah Parker is a woman who always gets what she wants.

When her current husband discovers she has been lying to him – again - she knows it’s time to move on and find someone who can give her the life she desires… The life she knows she deserves…

But who will be the lucky man?

When her eye catches a glimpse of an old flame in a photograph, she’s sure it’s a sign. Mark Shepherd has always been in her thoughts – they’d been happy once, he’d adored her, but she’d made a mistake and let him get away. She won’t make the same mistake again….

Hannah is older now and wiser. She knows what men want and she knows how to keep them happy.

So what if Mark is happily married with a family of his own?

All good things must come to an end…

I’m so happy this is fictional! What a great author and I couldn’t put it down. The ending was tough.

I would recommend this book. I'm not sure of the author's desired reaction, but when I got to the last page, the thought sticking in my head was "that's so sad". And it made me sad.

Tragic and sad

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2024

This was not Valerie’s best work in my opinion. The ending just seems to come from out of nowhere and makes no sense. And while I didn’t feel any sympathy for the women as adults it was obvious their issues began in childhood. Not enough background on their mothers though.
I guess that’s what a surprise ending is!
I am still a big fan of Valerie and will continue reading her books.

The Mistress is the latest popcorn thriller by author Valerie Keogh.

To summarize, Hannah Parker is a woman in a marriage with a much older and abusive man. Hannah is only with him because of his wealth and she loves to live the wealthy lifestyle. One night things go too far and Hannah realizes she must leave her husband.

By chance she finds a picture of herself with an old flame (Mark) from college. She let him get away 20 years ago but now she sets her sights on reclaiming him despite him being married to Susan. Hannah knows how to make men want her and she wants Mark.

This book is fast paced with short chapters that keep you wanting more. The character of Hannah is very interesting. On one hand she is just a lonely woman who wants love but on the other she is a calculated and manipulative woman who doesn’t care who she hurts. I wasn’t sure if I should be rooting for or against her. The Susan character was equally interesting. Her character really developed over the course of the book. Other minor characters in the book include a private investigator named Ethan, Susan and Mark’s son Drew, and Hannah’s mother. Most of the book I was unsure who I wanted to end up with Mark in the end, they both had compelling arguments.

One thing that I think could be improved upon was more backstory on Hannah and her mom’s relationship and the motivations of her mother.

The ending of The Mistress left me with my jaw on the floor. Nothing I predicted came true so having a surprise ending was a big positive for me.

This is the second book of Valerie Keogh’s I have read and I am looking forward to reading more of her earlier novels.
