The Secret Cure: A Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Twist by JD Spero – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Secret Cure by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was hooked from page one by this gripping psychological thriller, which was full of drama and suspense. Rosalie Giordano was in the prime of her life, happily married to her ‘fairy tale hero’, Vincent for ten blissful years, and the couple were planning to have a family. Her life changes when Rosalie is diagnosed with a mysterious virus, which has left her temporarily paralysed. As her condition continues for months, Rosalie discovers that her husband, Vin is having an affair. Her homecare nurse Cate, cares for her everyday and with her help Rosalie regains full mobility. However, she keeps her progress secret from Vin, and as her health improves she uncovers the extent of his betrayal, learning that he is not who he seems.
As her need for vengeance grows, she decides that their overseas anniversary trip is the perfect occasion for her to get her revenge. Having arrived at their upmarket Sicilian resort, Rosalie learns that she is not the only one with a score to settle with her husband, and she won’t be the only one with blood on her hands. This is a real page turner, and I literally could not put this book down. The characters are all so well defined that I felt as though I knew them. Both the characters and the settings came alive through the descriptive narrative. I liked how each of the main characters point of view was told, making me feel engaged with each of them. The storyline flowed well, and the sense of unease built chapter by chapter, and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the ending. I definitely recommend this novel.
