Shocking and psychological, The Wife Between Us is a twisting, pulse-pounding thriller about the disturbing secrets hidden in an ordinary marriage . . .
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.
From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors behind The Golden Couple.
