Publisher's summary

A D.C. philanthropist suspects that her seemingly perfect employee is secretly plotting to steal her husband, her reputation—even her life—in this seductive novel of psychological suspense from the internationally bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish.

“A deadly cocktail of medical mystery, family drama, and psychological suspense.”—Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network

In this town, anyone is replaceable. . . .

After a tragic chain of events led to the deaths of their spouses two years ago, D.C. philanthropist Sloane Chase and Senator Whit Montgomery are finally starting to move on. The horrifying ordeal drew them together, and now they’re ready to settle down again—with each other.

As Sloane returns to the world of White House dinners and political small talk, this time with her new husband, she’s also preparing for an upcoming hip replacement—the latest reminder of the lupus she’s managed since her twenties. With their hectic schedules, they decide that hiring a home health aide will give Sloane the support and independence she needs postsurgery. And they find the perfect fit in Athena Karras.

Seemingly a godsend, Athena tends to Sloane and even helps her run her charitable foundation. But Sloane slowly begins to deteriorate—a complication, Athena explains, of Sloane’s lupus. As weeks go by, Sloane becomes sicker, and her uncertainty quickly turns to paranoia as she begins to suspect the worst. Why is Athena asking her so many probing questions about her foundation—as well as about her past? And could Sloane be imagining the sultry looks between Athena and her new husband?

Riveting, fast-paced, and full of unbelievable twists, The Senator’s Wife is a psychological thriller that upends the private lives of those who walk the halls of power. Because when you have it all, you have everything to lose.

Meh

I put the release of this book in my calendar and I was very excited to start it yesterday.
It has been an okay book. Nothing very exciting or surprising. Seemed to drag on towards the end.
Not my favorite.

Great book

Really enjoyed this audiobook , couldn’t put it down !! Definitely recommend reading or listening to it!

Keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Another great story by Liv Constantine. I took every opportunity to listen as I wanted to solve the mysteries!

Not her best

I love Liv Constantine other book. this book was cheesy predictable and a little disappointing

Worth the credit

This was a solid listen all the way through but the end was THE BEST! I love a good ending and this book did not disappoint.

Very twisty and exciting

I Loved it!! Easy listen and it was so suspenseful with a great plot twist! Didn’t disappoint!

Great read!

Great ending and major twist! Good story. Highly recommended! Hard to stop listening. The ending was a drop the microphone situation.

Good but not her best.

It took me too long to really get interested but once I did it went quickly.

Not the best but still liked it

Slower start than the usual book but I was still very interested to see where it was going.
The narration was not my personal favorite. The different character voices were very animated and comical.
Overall I am glad I read it but I won’t read it again.

Easy listen

Definitely not my favorite LC novel, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and it did keep my interest.
