Publisher's summary

How well do you know your husband?

Since Alice’s fiancé walked out on her, she never thought she’d meet "The One". But all that changes when she meets Dominic. Handsome, charming, and kind, Alice can’t believe her luck when he proposes a few months later and moves into her West London home.

Three years on, Alice’s catering business is thriving and she is married to a man she adores. So when she sees that little blue line, it should be the happiest moment of her life: they’re going to have a baby. But then the police knock on her door and Alice’s whole world is turned upside down...Dominic is dead.

Distraught, Alice goes to identify the body. There’s no doubt that it’s her husband. Yet when his estranged brother comes to view the coffin, he insists the man lying there is not Dominic. Alice refuses to believe it at first, but when confronted with irrefutable proof, she finally has to face the truth:

The man she married is not the person he said he was. And if he lied about that, what else was he hiding from her?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife, and Friend Request, you’ll be hooked on The Man She Married.

INFURIATING!

To write a book about weak naive uninteresting characters is simply ridiculous. Woman are soooo desperate for a mate they will overlook obvious signs that the person you are involved in is minimally a lying cheater. Not relatable in the least bit.

The only interesting part was the point of view from the husband which is short.

More a drama than a psychological thriller

Not necessarily a psychological thriller. There are no surprise twists to the storyline. Alice the main character is fairly cliché for this genre and I was hoping for some last minute twist with her for better character development

Secrets, Lies, & Betrayal

The Man She Married by Alison James pulled me in from the beginning. Imagine marrying someone and finding out years later they are not who they say they are. Alice initially came across as a naive character, yet she had grit. Dominic was a master manipulator. I enjoyed how the author wrote the suspense, the twists, and the imagery. The narrator, Jan Cramer, was wonderful adding her emotions to the story. I could feel so many things that Alice was going through. Her British voice fit the book so well.

subpar

The reader did a great job. The story is predictable and subpar at best. The main female character is naive and weak. I found the portrayal of her character to be insulting to women.

What a page turner!

This book was fast-paced and involving until the last two hours, when it ceased being a thriller and seemed to be moving in another direction (maybe toward romance?) Overall rating: 4.5 rounded up

Where is the heart stopping twist?

Part 1: there aren’t enough red flags on the planet for this woman apparently. Part 2: very good! Part 3: I became best friends with the fast forward button. Was there a twist?? It’s worth a credit if you have a lot of patience for part 3.

Could really happen!

This was a realistically written story. Especially with all the online dating apps.
One should be very careful out there!
Very good suspenseful story! Many twists!
Narrator was good. I didn't care for her version of Male voices, but it didn't keep me from enjoying the book.
