The Secret Cure: A gripping psychological thriller with a twist by JD Spero – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

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

Rosalie Giordano is a young woman in her mid thirties, she has her whole life ahead of her and a husband who dotes on her, he is strong, charming, charismatic and beautiful and they have been married for ten blissful years and it has almost been like a fairytale, especially after escaping the manipulative clutches of her mother. Rosalie and her husband decide to start a family, but things don’t go to plan when one day she is struck by a mysterious illness which leaves her paralysed and unable to speak, so they have to hire an assistant to care for her. He is shocked and struggles to come to terms with the change in her and as the days turn to weeks and months, he starts to pull away from her, but she still wants him, if only she could tell him, or show him.

As the months pass and there looks like Rosalie will never recover, she noticed that her husband is a lot less attentive to her and acting as though she isn’t even there, but she suspects he is having an affair when she smells a fragrance on him she doesn’t recognise. One day she slowly begins to regain some of her movement, a finger twitch here, a vocalisation there and she is ecstatic, but because of her husband’s possible infidelity, she decides not to tell him and pretend that things haven’t changed at all.

As this complex web continues to be woven, her husband decides to take her and her carer away for a trip to warmer climates, so Rosalie decides that this is where she will enact her revenge, but things don’t quite go according to plan. Will Rosalie be able to enact her revenge and surprise her cheating husband, or will she be too weak to follow through? This is a suspenseful story of love, lies and revenge which will keep you reading and not want to put the book down until you find out what happened at the end.
