The Woman Inside: A Novel

Thank you to Celadon Books and BookishFirst for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! The Woman Inside by M. T. Edvardsson is the newest domestic thriller in translation from an accomplished author. The story revolves around a cast of characters, including Bill and Karla. Bill starts renting part of his home to Karla, a lodger who works as a housekeeper to the Rytters, a wealthy couple who may be hiding secrets. But when someone turns up dead, everyone will be questioned by the police...

The Woman Inside is an intriguing mystery book about the death of a rich couple. It follows their maid and the person she lives with, a father named Bill Olsson. I was really confused by the point of him at first. I haven't read this author's other book A Nearly Normal Family, but I liked the writing style and different point of views. This helped me learn the roles of the different characters.

This is an impressive thriller! I liked the way it was told from three different primary points of view (Bill, Karla, and Jennica). It was interesting to see how the same events could be viewed differently from different perspectives. All three were interesting, and it was hard to figure out who the good guys/bad guys were until very near the end. Newspaper articles and parts of police interviews were also added in occasionally, to give the reader a more "factual" view of what was happening.
