Can you ever truly know the one you love?
Fran Hall and her husband Nathan live in a farmhouse on the edge of the Fens with their two children. One February night, when Fran is woken by her baby, she finds the bed empty beside her and Nathan gone. Searching the house for him she makes a devastating discovery.
As Fran finds herself under intense police scrutiny, she and her two small children become more isolated as she starts to doubt whether or not she really knew Nathan. Was he really the loving husband that Fran had trusted him to be?
As police suspicion grows the questions for Fran begin to mount. Is there something that she is hiding from them - something that she has kept hidden from everyone, including her husband?
From the author of The Crooked House comes another stunning psychological thriller about family, secrets and the lies we tell ourselves. For fans of Gillian Flynn and SJ Watson, The Loving Husband draws readers into a marriage where nothing is as it seems.

Review:
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 (Metro)
Shocking in the extreme. The Loving Husband is a twisted psychological thriller (Sun)
Christobel Kent is one of our most assured thriller writers. The Loving Husband is a perfectly paced and plotted novel (Good Housekeeping)
Firmly 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 (Barry Forshaw Financial Times)
Atmospheric and psychologically acute throughout (Sunday Times)
Unsettling domestic thriller . . . Spooky and skilfully written, this is one to race through (Sunday Mirror)
A tautly plotted trail of red herrings, scares and eventual revelations that keep the Gone Girl fever-type buzz alive (Jon Wise Weekend Sport)
A 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 Independent)
Fans of a good old-fashioned page-turner will love this (Closer)
A clever and claustrophobic tale (Literary Review)
