Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, “urgent” email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasn’t seen her friends in months. Sex? Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall. Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But it’s the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other occupant: a grumpy guy named Finn.

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.

UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts, steamy affairs, tidbits of juicy gossip. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated.

Publisher's summary
And Then There Were None meets I Know What You Did Last Summer in #1 international bestseller Darby Kane’s latest gripping and twisty thriller set on a private island in Maine where secrets piled upon secrets and lies upon lies are all revealed in one fateful weekend.
Emily Hunt went missing from her affluent liberal arts school on graduation weekend. Her body was found floating in a river, and a quiet loner who most people on campus really didn’t know died by suicide. A tenuous link—one text—bound the two dead students together and was enough for law enforcement to close the case. But they got it wrong and now someone is determined to set it right.
Twelve years later, college friends gather to celebrate an engagement over a long overdue getaway on a swanky private island in Maine—with only one way in and one way out. Sierra Prescott, invited as a guest and unconnected to past events, is the only person who soon senses not all is what it seems.
The tension in the air is ignited when they find a dead man in the trunk of a car with a note: time to tell the truth. And things only get worse. As a torrential storm strands them together, the group’s buried stories begin to surface and secrets are bartered. To survive this deadly party, they’ll need to stop a killer before they become prey.

My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can. I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

I always look forward to the next Darby Kane thriller and this one did not disappoint. I love a novel that is fast-paced, with so many twists and turns. Let’s just say I won’t be vacationing on a remote island anytime soon.

Unnecessarily long winded!!😒
Although this premise was so intriguing and captivating… I’d venture to say… your life will be better if you skip this one! This novel is a maddening back and forth between very unlikable characters… of lies and and unwillingness to be decent human beings! It’s infuriating and plain stupid… she could’ve at least taken out about 50% of the book to make it more bearable!

The narrator was bad! I couldn’t follow the story because the narration was not good. I’ve listened to this narrator before but this time, it felt like she was trying to hard for a New England accent, but sounded it off.

Save your credit!
I couldn't continue to listen (I'm sorry). I truly hate leaving unflattering reviews, but I agree with some of fellow 2-3 star listeners. This book is lacking, I'm not sure if it's the narrator or the actual story line. I think it was the narrator. It's hard for me to get into a character when the narration is off. Perhaps it would be better if I read it myself. I made it to chapter 22 and had to stop there. Up to this point, nothing I listened too had the suspense I crave. Save your credit and enjoy something else.

Too Farfetched
I really wanted to like this book. I’ve read this author before and like her work. This one was a reach. The supposition that so many years had passed and everyone still was looking for revenge, was too far fetched for me. And many voices sounded the same and were hard to distinguish between them. There was a lot of rewinding on my part to make sure who was actually speaking.

Very Good
The book was different from a lot of the books out there right now, about old friends, old secrets and everyone suddenly finding themselves stranded…
This book had those themes, but took different and new turns with the different plot.
I rated this high because I was happily surprised that no fast forwarding was needed and the plot took enough turns to keep it interesting. There are a few things I would change, but overall it was a good book.
My review of the narration is purely personal. I’m just not a fan of the voice and some of her pronunciations.
