The Wife

A Novel of Psychological Suspense

De: Alafair Burke

Narrado por: Xe Sands

His scandal

Her secret

From New York Times best-selling author Alafair Burke, a stunning domestic thriller in the vein of Behind Closed Doors and The Woman in Cabin 10 - in which a woman must make the impossible choice between defending her husband and saving herself.

When Angela met Jason Powell while catering a dinner party in East Hampton, she assumed their romance would be a short-lived fling, like so many relationships between locals and summer visitors. To her surprise, Jason, a brilliant economics professor at NYU, had other plans, and they married the following summer. For Angela, the marriage turned out to be a chance to reboot her life. She and her son were finally able to move out of her mother's home to Manhattan, where no one knew about her tragic past.

Six years later, thanks to a best-selling book and a growing media career, Jason has become a cultural lightning rod, placing Angela near the spotlight she worked so carefully to avoid. When a college intern makes an accusation against Jason, and another woman, Kerry Lynch, comes forward with an even more troubling allegation, their perfect life begins to unravel. Jason insists he is innocent, and Angela believes him. But when Kerry disappears, Angela is forced to take a closer look at the man she married. And when she is asked to defend Jason in court, she realizes that her loyalty to her husband could unearth old secrets.

This much-anticipated follow-up to Burke's Edgar-nominated The Ex asks how far a wife will go to protect the man she loves: Will she stand by his side, even if he drags her down with him?

"Xe Sands's delivery grips the listener's imagination and makes Burke's compelling mystery unforgettable." (AudioFile)

Amazing

Another amazing novel by Alafair. I could not stop listening to this book. Love love love it

Fascinating, but ultimately disappointing

Could not put this down--very well written and the narrator is excellent.
The ending happens so fast and is so incomplete that you feel betrayed.

just ok

the book was entertaining and a quick read... but the story line was nothing riveting or edge of your seat suspense.

Suspense you can’t put down

I am a fan of James Burke and I like Alafair even better. The book keeps you engrossed in the characters and the plot is wonderful.
Great read

Awesome!

New author to me. I will look for more. Couldn’t put it down. Story twists like that of “Gone Girl”.

wow!

I struggled with the natator's voice at first, but her tone really grew on me. You can quickly get hooked on this book!

Re: Good Book!

I’ve been reading mysteries since I was in the 5th grade &, let me assure you, that was a long time ago. This book I can honestly say I never saw the ending coming.

unexpected perfection

definitely loved this one! I had some suspicions that were correct but then details followed that completely shocked me! I love a good book that surprises me!

Worth a listen

I enjoyed the story didn’t see the end coming which is my favorite when it comes to books like this

Couldn’t stop listening!

This book was so addictive, every chapter unfolded something new that you didn’t see coming. This has to be the fastest book I’ve ever listen to from Audible in the year time of my subscription.
