The New Wife

A Totally Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Twist You Won't See Coming

By: Sue Watson

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

You can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors....

My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart, and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying "I do" to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best.

But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense he’s hiding something. Why won’t he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?

Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Lauren’s bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My son’s beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my son’s name? And could my life be in danger now too?

A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us, and The Woman in the Window.

Keeps you in suspense

I love stories that take surprising twists and turns. This one does for sure! I couldn’t stop listening.

The New Wife

Loved this book. It’s the first Sue Watson book I’ve listened to but it won’t be the last. Yes, the main character is naive & too trusting, but that didn't take away from the overall story because it was so good. There were great & unexpected twists. The narrator was excellent. I could listen to her all day. I highly recommend this book. I’m now a Sue Watson fan.

Entirely too predictable

This story was OK but nothing to write home about. It really did not have anything that I wasn't already expecting.

I listened to all of it but …

It’ was ok but dragged on a bit and the main character was shallow and a bit vapid

Good listen

Good story with a twist at the end. This is my third audiobook from this author and all have been very good. Recommended listen!
