The Woman Upstairs
By Ruth Heald
Review by Heidilynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank Ruth Heald, Bookouture and Netgalley
for providing me with this book so I may give you this review.
WOW!! The Woman Upstairs A Completely Gripping Psychological Thriller Packed With Twists by Ruth Heald needs a Netflix original movie! The book kept playing like a movie in my mind as I was reading it! It is that intense of a storyline that blew me away!! It had everything you would want in a book such as the secrets, the suspense, the drama, the character you want to slap (or at least I did), the shocking scenes, the incredible twists and turns, the adorable babies, and the incredible characters.
This cover is what first drew my eye to this book. It was
cute and clever with the two heart suckers and one cracked. So very true how it
says there are two sides of every story. But how many secrets? Kudos to the
graphic artist who captured the reader’s attention.
I should mention that there are some parts of this book that
may trigger some of the readers. If you are sensitive to the some of the
topics, I am to mention this book may not be for you. Domestic abuse, child
abuse, adultery, murder, etc.
Ruth is a brilliantly gifted storyteller in this genre. This
is one incredibly intense book. As you dive deeper into the book it gets more
twisted. The true colors of the characters appear as well. Personally, I wanted to smack Ian!!
The prologue to this book is intense as it captured my
intentions immediately. It is not til later in the book where that comes into
play. I actually went back and re-read that first part when writing this
review.
Ruth told the story in two parts one In modern day and the
other in the past. It was not until the middle of the book where I caught onto
who and where the past met up with the present. Then everything all made since.
Ruth wrote the first draft of this book right before her son
was born. She was terrified of giving birth since she had a traumatic
experience the first time around. You are in the hands of the hospital staff.
She has heard stories of how woman was not listened while their bodies were cut
open and acted upon. Ruth wanted to write a book that examined the harm that
could done if a woman was badly influenced during those vital moments of labor,
birth and the first weeks as a new mum.
