Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,132
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. 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.

Astonishingly good
The story starts at a gentle pace and gradually reveals itself to be an astonishingly good book in every respect. I was thoroughly immersed in the plot which is woven so subtly I hardly realised how good it is until it had drawn me in. The characters are developed so well that they feel real to me. Every single one of them relatable , and every viewpoint engenders empathy. He writes simply with a gentle clarity and no wasted words, in a way that is respectful towards the reader, the subject matter and the characters. The plot is at the same time both familiar and surprising. Wonderful narration. Thoroughly enjoyable book. I loved it. And... it feels cathartic in a way that is also surprising. He writes with humility and honesty. I hope his other books are as good, because I am going straight back to buy more. Wonderful book and really good narration. Perhaps not everyone will enjoy it because it is an introspective experience, but it is such a breath of fresh air in comparison to other popular literature that is churned out using the winning formula of sex, money, greed and revenge that leaves me feeling dirty afterwards even if it is entertaining. This book is not like that. It is a gem; a holiday from the smut of popular culture. Read it. Thank Alex!

Fabulous page turner really different storyline
I loved this book and could not stop listening and felt bereaved when it was finished. This is a very clever book with a great story. It is written by a psychotherapist and some of the psychoanalytic concepts introduced as part of the story are really well done and sit within the overall narrative without being pretentious. I was captivated by the two main characters, Theo and Alicia and felt they were really well developed by the author who clearly understands people and how childhood experiences can reverberate through adult life impacting on our actions. I absolutely did not see the end twist, which is unusual as there is so often a clue early on, this was a real bolt out of the blue. I also enjoyed both narrators and felt they aptly depicted the characters. I really hope this author produces more work as this book was exceptional.

OK but not groundbreaking
I think this is a good listen for anyone who likes reading undemanding thrillers - easy to follow and pick up but unfortunately (for me) quite predictable. I guessed the twist about half way through (a few obvious clues in the narrative).

Fabulous riveting story
I really enjoyed this book- had me captured from start to finish- highly recommended for those who enjoy a good story and have an understanding of psychotherapy/ psychiatry dynamics

Exceptional
I purchased this audio book based on the review ratings and I was not disappointed.
From the excellent narration to the twists turns and the ultimate reveal- I was gripped.

Not as good as the hype
It's oksy, an average who dunnit, I had read rave reviews about the twist at the end, I thought it was quite obvious though. It's not a bad book, I just expected more.

Highly recommend
I listen to loads of books. This is by far the best I’ve listened to this year. It just kept me wanting more and I was so sad to have it end. Beautifully written and the narrator was next level!!! Thank you! I love coming across these :)

Oh just SO good!
First of all, the one thing that can make or break an audio book is the narrator(s). And these two narrators just nailed it. Perfectly matched to their characters and so lovely to listen to.
The story kept my attention from beginning to end and I was right in the story with the characters the entire time.
I usually go for more light hearted audiobooks but I’m so glad I decided to try a different genre, this one is one of my all time favourite audio books.
Recommend to all my friends!

Edge of seat plot, superbly read!
This story held my attention throughout. The twist was quite a revelation... I'm definitely making a second pass at this one to connect some of the dots missed the first time round!
The narration by Louise Brealey was, as always, impeccable!

Once I started listening I couldn’t stop
If you are going to read one book this year - make it this one - The Silent Patient.
Really worth it - can’t fault it and narrators do a perfect job.I can’t wait for Alex’s next book (no pressure) 🤩
