Publisher's summary

Beth and Cath are leaving their husbands.

This is a story about two very different women.

One is wealthy and having an affair with a man who gives her the kind of love that her cold, detached husband does not.

One is living hand to mouth, suffering at the hands of a violent partner who would rather see her dead than leave him.

You may think you know these women already and how their lives will unfold.

Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate.

Cath will go back to her abusive husband.

And these two women will never cross paths.

But you will be wrong.

On the 3.15pm train from London to Bristol, Beth and Cath are about to meet and discover they share one shocking thing in common.

A clever, engrossing and absolutely enthralling listen about what really lies beneath the surface of a marriage. Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be hooked on The Stranger’s Wife.

Hard to follow

I liked the story overall just was a bit non-climatic at the end. I found the bouncing around in time made the story hard to follow at first but in the end it all made sense.

Good Detective/Crime Story

I was totally engaged in this audible from the first chapter and just couldn’t put it aside. The characters were very believable. The events were at times heartbreaking. Detective Dan was very clever in uncovering leads and evidence which was very entertaining to my inquisitive mind. Definitely worth a credit.

Narration was very good.

Love the complexity of ALW's characters!

I think I've found my next series to listen to. I think the way ALW develops her characters is nothing short of extraordinary. You really feel like you KNOW these people. That right there pulls you in to the story and you truly care about what happens to them. (even if they aren't the "good" guys) But she sure can develop a character that you loathe...lol!
