Why read it?
2 authors picked The Wife Between Us as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The twists kept on coming—literally until the final pages. Just when I thought I had it all sorted out, pow comes another, then another!
The plot might have seemed straightforward once I got into it, but it’s anything but. It’s complex yet easy to digest and piece together. Unbelievably addicting. One of my all-time favorites.
From Dan's list on domestic thrillers danger is found inside your house.
There are many psychological thrillers out there about husbands and wives. If you search for the word ‘wife’ on Goodreads there must be hundreds of titles. But The Wife Between Us is one of my favourites. It’s clever, twisted, and plays on your expectations. From the first page, you’ll believe the book to be going one way, but then it twists in another direction altogether.
From Sarah's list on for fans of Gone Girl.
