Publisher's summary

Lara's life looks perfect on the surface. Gorgeous doting husband Massimo, sweet little son Sandro and the perfect home. Lara knows something about Massimo. Something she can't tell anyone else or everything Massimo has worked so hard for will be destroyed: his job, their reputation, their son. This secret is keeping Lara a prisoner in her marriage.

Maggie is married to Massimo's brother Nico. She knows all of Nico's darkest secrets - or so she thinks. The one day she discovers a letter in the attic which reveals a shocking secret about Nico's first wife Caitlin. Will Maggie set the record straight or keep a lie to protect those she loves?

For a family held together by lies, the truth will come at a devastating price.

An entertaining story but narrator disappointing

I enjoyed the story about some interesting family dynamics and the lives of two sisters-in-law, who were both second wives under different circumstances. However, the Audible narrator was very disappointing. The chapters alternated between the two different main characters, but not only did the same narrator read both parts, but there was nothing at all distinguishing in her voice between the two characters. It was often difficult to tell who was talking.

You never know what goes on behind closed doors!

Emma Sourgin-Hussey presents phenomenal narration and I will be searching for more. Author Kerry Fisher pens an emotional whirlwind of an extended family, the good, the bad, the ugly. Family rivalry is abundant and the plot moves at a comfortable pace; an enjoyable listen. Both author and narrator are a flawless duo. Brilliant in all aspects. Highly recommended. Well worth a credit, however, I was lucky to have found it in Audible’s 2-for-1 special.

Great read!

This was a really good story... I found myself sneaking just a bit more as I sat in the driveway, not ready for the story to end , even though I was home . Good listen! I didn’t want it to end!

Another good one!

Kerry Fisher has done it again with the silent wife. I’ve flown through four of her books this last week and have purchased the rest in anticipation of more great reads!
