About this ebook

A Richard and Judy Book Club bestseller, The Wife Between Us is a shocking psychological thriller about the secrets hidden in a marriage – with twists you won't see coming. From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekannen, the authors behind The Golden Couple.

'A fiendishly clever thriller . . . This one will keep you guessing' – Anita Shreve, bestselling author of The Stars are Fire


Marrying a man with a past was always going to come with problems – but you never expect to become the focus of another woman’s obsession.

Nellie just wanted to live the life she’d always dreamed about with Richard. But who is his ex-wife, Vanessa?

Nellie thinks she knows everything about his previous marriage. That it was a disaster, plain and simple. But, as secrets are unearthed, she starts to think that maybe there is more to the wife before her . . .

Only one thing is certain. She is not who you think she is.

one of the worst books I've ever read. story doesn't flow well, twists are predictable, too much distraction from the original plot, no suspense at all, slow read. I waited for the book to over.

The end couldn't come soon enough. Inconsistent, frustrating , slow and overall boring. Twists were predictable and the story didnt flow well at all. Also, spoiler alert : How does a cake topper figurine fit in a suit jacket pocket ????. Very disappointed.

This is a well written book. The twists and turns of human behaviour keep you wondering throughout with an ending that you'd never guess. Enjoyed immensely and I shall be looking for others written by the writers.
