The Woman He Loved Before
The Blurb
She’s out of his life, but is she out of his heart?
Libby has a nice life with a great job, a gorgeous husband and a big home by the sea. But she’s becoming more unsure of Jack’s feelings for her – and if he is over the mysterious death of Eve, his first wife.
When fate intervenes in their relationship, Libby decides to find out all she can about the man she hastily married and the seemingly perfect Eve.
Eventually Libby stumbles across some startling truths about Eve. As she begins to unearth more and more devastating secrets, Libby becomes frightened that she too will end up like the first woman Jack loved. . .
Tense and moving The Woman He Loved Before explores if the love you want is always the love you need - or deserve.
Writing my seventh novel has reminded me AGAIN why I love being an author. It pushes me, it stretches me, it challenges me. The Woman He Loved Before did all of that nd more. I found myself in the pits of despair sometimes with the subjects I was writing about, and also questioning everything I’ve ever thought about beauty and looks. I probably wasn’t a whole lot of fun to live with while I was living the lives of Libby, Jack and Eve but as always I’m very proud of the results and hope that anyone who picks it up enjoys what they read.

Reviews
‘Koomson’s latest novel . . . is perhaps her best and most ambitious yet.’ Heat, The Hot List
‘This gripping novel will draw you in and keep you hooked until the last page.’ She
‘I absolutely adored this book and just couldn't put it down. It's a big chunk of a book at 464 pages, but it whizzed by for me, I was so absorbed in the story and desperate to find out what on earth was happening with Eve, Libby and Jack that I didn't notice the chapters flying by.’ Chloe S, Chick Lit Chloe
‘The author has crafted another wonderful tale that has the usual twists you would expect.’ The Sun
‘This week, the fabulous new novel from Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before, explores what happens when a woman falls for a man whose ex wife - by all accounts the BEST WIFE IN THE WORLD, EVER - died in a mysterious accident.’ Rosie Mullender, Cosmopolitan
‘Dorothy Koomson is a fine writer whose prose is compulsive in the same way as chocolate.’ Sunday Express
‘Forget the bills, forget the dating, forget everything except devouring this wonderfully crafted thriller that twists and turns with gut-wrenching intrigue from the first chapter until the last.’ Shari Low, Daily Record
‘This incredible story kept me spellbound from start to finish, and I know it's often written that something is 'unputdownable', but in the case of this book it really is. The twists and turns in the storyline had me gasping in surprise a couple of times and the ending made me cry.’ Debs Carr, Novelicious
‘Koomson skilfully weaves Libby’s narrative with Eve’s diaries in a tale of contemporary life given added piquancy by a dash of Gothic horror . . . Social conflict, deception, the nature of marriage itself are all themes in this multi-tiered and satisfying mystery story.’ Daily Express
‘Another worthy addition to the growing Koomson collection’ Woman’s Way Ireland
‘The Woman He Loved Before was an excellent read. Usually I’m fairly good at ‘making’ the endings of novels. I didn’t make this one. I had no idea that twist was coming, although when it was revealed there’s part of me that did say “Well it had to happen, didn’t it?” but still, it was a total and utter shock.’ Leah Graham, Chick Lit Reviews
