About the book

"Julia Whelan reads the novel in her low, pleasant voice, moving down a register to capture Richard's infuriating condescension and lightening slightly for the younger Emma. With its perfidious turns, this escapist entertainment is a fine example of the 21st century's more cynical version of the O. Henry ending." ― The Washington Post

From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen comes the next hit audiobook thriller, an instant New York Times bestseller!

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement – a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love.
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Listen for the truth between the lies.

Praise for The Wife Between Us:

"Addictive domestic thrillers with twist-filled plots and unreliable narrators are increasingly popular. Add in assumptions that should not be assumed, shape-shifting, surprising characters and a complex chronology, and you have a hint of what you'll find in The Wife Between Us...All will be made clear, or perhaps not, as you listen to Julia Whelan's tautly paced performance." ― BookPage

“A clever thriller with masterful twists.” – Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of The Kept Woman

"Readers who were enthralled by B.A. Paris's Behind Closed Doors and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will love the skewed psychology and shifting perspectives in this domestic thriller." - Library Journal

"A fiendishly clever romantic thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. This one will keep you guessing." –Anita Shreve, New York Times bestselling author of The Stars are Fire

"A twisty, mind-bending novel about marriage and betrayal. A gripping plot and fascinating characters; this book will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end. A must-read!" –Lauren Weisberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada

    Vorneweg: The Wife Between Us ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Häusliche Gewalt spielt eine Rolle, weswegen ich das Buch zwischendurch auch zur Seite legen musste. Es geht um Nellie, die kurz vor ihrer Hochzeit mit dem wohlhabenden, charmanten Richard steht. Dessen eifersüchtige und verrückte Exfrau Vanessa will diese allerdings verhindern. So scheint es zumindest. Tatsächlich ist es jedoch die Geschichte zweier Frauen, die langsam erkennen, was für ein Monster sie geheiratet haben beziehungsweise im Begriff stehen zu heiraten. Dieser Roman lohnt sich, da er einfach so unglaublich gut geschrieben ist und man vor Spannung kaum blinzeln will. Zwischendurch ist man manchmal verwirrt, bis man die Genialität des Plottwists erkennt. Das Thema ist so unglaublich brutal und schrecklich, aber zu lesen, wie Frauen sich trotz ihrer Angst dagegen wehren und am Ende siegen, lässt hoffen.

    der erste plottwist hat mich umgehauen, nach dem gab es keine plötzlichen und überraschenden dinge mehr, alles war vorhersehbar. die figuren ließen mich nicht in ihre herzen, berührten nicht meines. und das ende war abrupt, wie ein schmerzhaft abgerissenes pflaster. schade, dabei hat es vielversprechend angefangen!
