As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn’t shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she’s just told me I’m not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children.
The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there’s a grain of truth in what she says.
Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from?
When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet’s nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades.
What has my mum done?
Can I trust her?
Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives?
Released 21st August 2024…

WOW!
Wow! The gripping plot of “The Ex” takes the reader on a wild and emotional ride. A must read from page one until the very end, but be forewarned, don’t plan to do anything else because you won’t be able to put it down. I can’t wait to read the next book by Diane Saxon.

Awesome!
Awesome! I was pulled in to this twisty tail from the first page. Rich characters drive a tale of love and loss, revenge and mental illness. A compelling, heartbreaking thriller.

Gripped
I knew I was in for a good read after having read 2 other books by this author, I didn’t think that i was going to be blown away by it!
It was one of those books that you are desperate to race through as you want to see how it goes, but you don’t want to finish.
I was gripped, as usual by this author’s writing, by the first few pages, intrigued to know where it was headed.
