The Liar's Wife

By: Samantha Hayes

Narrated by: Karen Cass

A gripping psychological thriller with edge-of-your-seat suspense

Loving husband? Or total stranger?

When Ella wakes up in a hospital following a hit-and-run incident, she is scared and confused. Close to tears, her eyes fall on a get-well-soon card on the window sill, and the nurse reassures her that her loving husband will be back soon....

But Ella has never been married.

In fact, she has lived alone her whole adult life; working hard, rarely socializing, quietly harboring a terrible secret from her past.

Fear sweeps through Ella when she instantly recognizes the man who enters the ward. He is not her husband, but she knows that she must do as he says and play the part of dutiful wife. What choice does she have? He was there the night of the fire; he knows her secret, too....

Do you absolutely love twisty and unputdownable psychological thrillers like Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us, and Gone Girl? Then you will be totally hooked by this jaw-dropping novel about the dangerous secrets behind a perfect marriage.

A lot of nail biting build up - then pfuttt

Many dilemmas, intrigue and (literal) head banging in the beat up scenes... and yet the conclusion / finale was short, rushed and felt like an afterthought. I was hooked to the story and (slightly) unrealistic occurrences, only to kick myself for wasting listening time when the ending went down like a small damp lead ballon.

Good story

This was good overall. There were enough clues where you could figure out who Jacob was midway through, but there was also some room for doubt.

the liars wife

loved it! could not stop listening!
one of the best thrillers I have listened to.

Highly Implausible

This entire tale was highly implausible! I also had it figured out (gross!) very early on. Drawn out and disappointing.

Compelling Story

I’m glad I chose this book in spite of negative reviews. I found it to be entertaining without having to skip any parts due to boredom. The narrator did a fine job and all without the excessive language too many books contain today. In my opinion, excessive language shows a lack of class and takes away from the storyline. I’m going to try the author’s suggestion to get “The Reunion”.
