My Husband's Wife

De: Carla Kovach

Narrado por: Karen Cass

A totally addictive and binge-worthy psychological thriller

Five years ago I buried my husband. Today I saw him with his new wife.

‘Thank you for agreeing to be our wedding planner. Theo is on his way,’ Madison says as we meet to plan her dream wedding. The moment her fiancé enters the room, a newborn baby in his arms, my whole world shifts and I grab hold of my desk to stop myself from falling.

Theo shakes my hand as he introduces himself, but I already know who he is. He’s my husband. The man I thought had died five years ago.

‘Lovely to meet you, Eva,’ he says, carefully avoiding my frozen stare. I’d recognise his smooth voice anywhere.

I want to scream, ask him why he’s doing this to me. But I know just how good a liar my husband is. And he knows my darkest secret. I can’t risk him destroying everything I’ve worked so hard for.

At the end of the meeting, I watch the happy little family walk away, and I don’t miss Theo’s eyes staring at me just a second too long. He knows I’m onto him. But only I know what I’m going to do next…

Why so drawn out?

This story drug on forever. I think it could have been much better if a story line if it was simplified a bit more.

Good enough!

The voice actress read this so incredibly well. I felt like I was listening to a movie, if that makes sense. The author wrote in such modern language. I really enjoyed it! The story itself intrigued me. I don’t feel like it dragged or anything like that, but I did feel like the outcome was a little predictable. I am a sucker for a shock, though, so I might be biased. All in all, it was a good read. I would recommend!

The twist and turns of not figuring it all out

I like the story I like the twist and turns I like that it was clean and not too harsh easy to read and very interesting

Interesting

Overall, it was a solid read. That said, the rapid shifts between the two points of view were occasionally confusing; a second narrator may have improved the flow. Additionally, the concluding chapters would benefit from greater clarity.

Book Review: My Husband’s Wife

My Husband’s Wife is a gripping read full of twists and drama that kept me hooked. The story really makes you think about trust and how well you know the people closest to you. The characters feel real, and the themes of love and betrayal hit home. That said, the ending felt a bit unfinished and left me wanting more closure. Still, definitely worth a read if you like emotional, suspenseful stories.
