Marrying a man with a past was always going to come with problems – but you never expect to become the focus of another woman’s obsession.

Nellie just wanted to live the life she’d always dreamed about with Richard. But who is his ex-wife, Vanessa? Nellie thinks she knows everything about his previous marriage. That it was a disaster, plain and simple. But, as secrets are unearthed, she starts to think that maybe there is more to the wife before her . . .

Only one thing is certain. She is not who you think she is.

Critic reviews

It's easy to see why Steven Spielberg has snapped up the film rights to this book, which is an original take on a winning formula . . . The small twists and turns of the plot are riveting but the pivotal surprise is gobsmacking and it succeeds because of the scrupulous attention to the psychological details of all the characters

A clever thriller with masterful twists (Karin Slaughter)

A twisty, mind-bending novel about marriage and betrayal. A gripping plot and fascinating characters; this book will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end. A must-read! (Lauren Weisberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada)

A fiendishly smart cat-and-mouse thriller

Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl On The Train will adore this classy domestic noir set in New York . . . it has a humdinger of a twist which I didn't see coming . . . the result is a fast-paced and hugely enjoyable thriller

Loved it! What a fantastic story, and the twist completely blind-sided me - and that is rare, believe me! (Mandasue Heller)

Buckle up, because you won't be able to put this one down

The Wife Between Us delivers a whipsmart, twisty plot in a taut, pacy narrative. It's terrific and troubling. This is one scary love triangle where you won't know who to trust. I loved it (Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew)

A fiendishly clever thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. This one will keep you guessing. (Anita Shreve, author of The Stars are Fire)

An angry ex-wife is stalking a young, innocent fiancée who is a carbon copy of her former self…or so it seems. Since you know there’s got to be more to it than this, the fun is in trying to figure it out before they tell you. We didn’t! Easy to read, smoothly put together

This amazing story gallops along at breakneck speed, with an ending that smacks you between the eyes and takes your breath away. These authors are destined to become trail blazers in the field of psychological suspense books that explode in your hands! (Nancy Simpson-Brice, Book Vault)

A page turner and as compelling a read as any I’ve ever read, including Gone Girl. So much great detail with believable characters. (Sue Roegge, Chapter2Books )

Unforgettable twists lead to shocking revelations all the way through the epilogue

Readers who were enthralled by B.A. Paris’s Behind Closed Doors and Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl will love the skewed psychology and shifting perspectives of this domestic thriller

With shocking twists, this intricate thriller proves all is not what it seems for the discarded first wife and the woman about to marry her ex. Addictive

A scorned woman obsesses over her younger replacement . . . you may think you've heard this one before, there are surprises in store . . . fabulously twisty

Page-flicker . . . keeps you guessing

I stuck with it and it got better

A few chapters in I was still skeptical, but I kept going and the characters got more interesting and then everything got confusing and then it started to make sense. I'm glad I finished it

Don’t Read the review read the book

So I read the reviews and ended up trying to predict what the other readers were taking about. The story is brilliant so don’t worry . Don’t bother with the reviews; they give away all the good stuff. Don’t spoil it for yourself.
it’s worth the read!!!
