Publisher's summary

She made her bed. You’ll lie in it.

Rebecca only wanted to help out - to be kind. Richard seemed so alone after his wife, Nicole, died, and Rebecca wanted to make sure he knew he had someone on whom to rely.

But now, she’s in Nicole’s immaculate house. Drinking from her favourite crystal wine glass. Keeping shoes in her orderly closet. Comforting her sweet and grieving stepdaughter. It feels like Rebecca is living another woman’s life.

And as she gets to know the neighbours, Rebecca hears stories that make her wonder: Was free-spirited Nicole happy in this perfect life, or did she feel trapped? Did she feel, as Rebecca is beginning to, that something wasn’t quite right?

The story everyone’s talking about! If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Girl Before, you’ll be totally gripped and unable to put down this twisty pause-resisting psychological thriller.

Great

It took a while to get into. Give it a couple of chapters you’ll be hooked!

Deviously suspenseful, a new British favorite!

I chose this book because of the brilliant narrative skills of Tamsin Kennard. Add to that: Sheryl Browne’s “The Second Wife” is a tangled and complexellent thriller. Zigzagging from one extreme to another, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Kennard, as always, left me in awe with her various characters’ vocal inflections, precise tones and accents. Browne and Kennard are indeed a perfect duo and I look forward to more impressively intense offerings from these two accomplished women. May we have more please? Highly recommended. Worth a cherished credit, however, I lucked out and was able to purchase it during an awesome Audible sale for $3.79. I do so look forward to these specials, especially my preferred British audiobooks. A huge thank you to Audible, author and narrator and those involved in bringing this hidden gem to the forefront.

Too obvious

This was a pretty good story with the exception that I had it pegged from the beginning. there was actually no real surprise for me.

Slow to start

the beginning was very slow for my taste. it wasnt hard to figure out who did what fairly quickly

crazy story,,,,,,,,

omy,,, the daughter in this book got my blood boiling,, but I liked the twist, and it ended with an expected finale

The Second Wife—Wow, I couldn’t put it down!

This was an outstanding book with many twists and surprises. Mystery readers will love it. I recommend it highly!

Obvious Plot and 2nd Wife

Obvious plot and the 2nd Wife's gullibility was unrealistically put on display. I wish the author would of gave her a backbone. Half of the listen involved me shaking my head.

Good Book and narration.

This was a pretty good book not the best but pretty good. A lot of twists and turns and some of these characters will make you say "wow". I really liked Rebecca's character.

The story line and plot was interesting. There was a lot of inner dialogue going on and some of it unnecessary so that was kind of annoying. But the story was still good.

I can't really say too much about this book without giving away spoilers. It was worth the credit and time for sure.

As for the narration, this was my first Tamsin Kennard listen and she did a great job. I liked her narration the men sounded like men and she gave everyone their own voice. She has a nice reading voice and reads with emotion as called for.

marvelous!

Awesome thriller to the end! highly recommended! entire story was a never-ending puzzle...quite well done!
