I thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller. There were a good few twists and turns that were done so well and I certainly didn't see them coming. It certainly kept me wanting to read one more page and I loved the ending.

Probably the most compelling page turner I've read since Girl on the Train; I loved the way it kept wrong footing me! I'll definitely be recommending this to all those who love a well written, engaging thriller. Great!

A brilliant addictive book that I couldn't put down!!!! Gripping until the very end when the perfect twist reveals itself. We see the story of Richard and his perfect wife 'Nellie' - given the perfect life by her rich husband things end up going wrong and he leaves her for another woman - her replacement
Emma. The story unfolds to give the reader gripping background to what seemed the perfect marriage - jealous ex wife or someone trying to make sure the new bride to be doesn't end up in the same place as her . Loved this book and can see it being a best seller and made into a movie 5* reading at its best !!!

A cleverly written psychological thriller with plenty of twists where you least expect them. Believable characters that draw you in and leave you wanting to know what happens next make this a very un-put-downable book. I thoroughly enjoyed every page and didn't guess the final twist.

"ASSUME NOTHING"

This is a very cleverly written book indeed and one which will stay with me for a long time. I assumed a lot of things throughout the book - I will never assume anything again. I was hooked from the first page (I love when that happens) until the last sentence. Highly recommend this one.

I'm one of those readers that's always sceptical when I come across a book that's receiving a lot of hype on social media, and if I'm honest I normally avoid them like the plague, as I nearly always find the hype doesn't quite fit with my expectations and I'm often left wondering what all the fuss was about. Well I must say The Wife Between Us deserves all the hype surrounding it and much more, in fact this is one of those books that you want to shout and scream about to all and sundry. It's one of those books that will make you question everything you read and everything you think you know.


Some books write such lengthy book descriptions that give far to much away, but fortunately that's not the case here, despite the vague book description I still made assumptions from the opening chapter, assumptions that surprisingly were way off the mark. I'm not usually one for giving away spoilers, but I must confess it's one of those books you want to reveal all just so you can discuss every minute detail of this deviously plotted tale. You may think a story about a husband, wife and a mistress is hardly original and I would agree with you there, but authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have written one of the most original psychological thrillers I've read in a long time. The tension in The Wife Between Us is intense and it pretty much stays that way to the last shocking chapter.

Hand on heart The Wife Between us is one of those book you just have to read “just one more” chapter, extremely well written the authors have created a psychological thriller that stands out from the norm, its twisted, deviously plotted and one that is full of surprises, It's not often a book can keep me guessing right up until the last chapter, and I think that's why I enjoyed this book so much as the authors constantly wrong foot the reader by throwing in well placed twists. This is one book that certainly lives up to its hype, I'm convinced this will be one of the best psychological thrillers released in 2018, a bold statement I know, but it's not often I get so excited about a book, just In case you haven't already guessed I loved this book and will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

This review maybe altered slightly and edited prior to publication on my blog

This book was an excellent thriller. It was totally gripping, totally unpredictable. It's a must read for thriller readers!

'The Wife Between Us' follows the story of Nellie, who's fairytale marriage to 'Prince Charming' Richard seems too good to be true, and whose underlying fears rise up to a thrilling crescendo, with lots of twists and turns along the way.

This book is well-structured, with every twist and turn of the plot tied together neatly at the end. It's certainly gripping, and would be enjoyable for fans of 'Gone Girl' and 'Before I Go To Sleep'.

A book with lots of twists and turns. Just when I thought I’d got it, I’d have to reread the previous page to check what I’d read was correct.
Vanessa is a divorced woman who is struggling to keep herself going. Then she finds out that her ex Richard is getting remarried and she becomes focused on saving his fiancée.
This was a very well written book. I liked the plot and the characters, the way it all came together at the end was very good as well. This was a book that held my attention until the very end.

This is an intriguing and fast paced read that will really keep you on your toes.
The book is divided into three sections. The first section of this book appears to be the story of an ex-wife who cannot get over her husband and is obsessed, to the point of stalking, her replacement. The narrator seems unreliable, and there is a decidedly creepy and confusing air to this section.
The second section turns everything you read on its head and really makes the reader work hard to make sense of what is happening and quite what to believe. Is what Vanessa saying really true, or has she inherited the same mental health issues as her mother that are exacerbated by her excessive drinking?
The third section really ramps up the tension as secrets are revealed, assumptions undermined and masks removed from all the characters. There's even one more reveal at the end that neatly ties up all the elements of this story.

Thanks go to the publishers and netgalley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review.

Thanks to Pan Macmillan and netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This is probably the best book that I have read this year. It is, on the face of it, the story of a scorned ex wife who is reeling from an acrimonious split. She appears to fixate over the new, younger partner of her ex husband. It seems that she is on a mission to interfere in the fledgling relationship. However, after the novel delivers twist after twist, we soon discover that everything is not as it appears.
This is an outstanding novel which I read it from start to finish in 24 hours. Highly recommended.

Kept me reading, but just not entirely convinced. Maybe a twist too far?

This is one book where the marketing blurb has it right.
Don’t assume....I did and I was wrong!

I love an unreliable narrator and this one had it in spades. There were many times that I was thinking one thing and off it went in another direction.
If you’re not a fan of alternating characters/chapters then you may not like this but I found it was easy to understand and follow, although it occasionally went off in different tangents and I suddenly realised the narrator was talking about something in the past (all related).
I loved the whole story but have only given it 4 stars because for me, I didn’t feel that ‘WOW’ factor. It doesn’t mean that I really enjoyed it any less.
There is not more I want to say, go into this book blind, it’s the best way to appreciate it.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for a copy to read and review.

Very well written, full of suspense and an entertaining read. Half way through the novel there was a twist that - whilst I'm not sure it added much to the novel, if I'm honest - I didn't see coming. Recommended for fans of Gone Girl, Into the Darkest Corner and other domestic noirs.

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are reading about a jealous wife and her obsession with husband and her replacement.

you will also assume you are reading about a women who's going to marry a man she loves her prince, you will assume that the first wife is crazy a drunk and a disaster.

you will assume you know the motives there backgrounds you will assume you know them and whats going to happen!
ASSUME NOTHING AT ALL!


this review is hard to write because i don't want to give anything away at all, so i need to be careful what i say, this book had me hooked from the very first moment saw the first word on the page it was like i was absorbing everything i always know if im going to like a book after the first few pages and "the wife between us" had me on the first word i didn't know who's side to be on who to believe or trust i kept changing my mind who's side i was on and when i thought i knew what was going on and who's side i was on then"BANG" i was hit head on with a huge twist that changed everything for me i'm sitting on the train on way to work at this point i'm like "OMG WHAT THE HELL" people looking at me, i just could not get my head around what just happened so then i new i had to work but i needed to i had to know what was going to happen next i was clock watching for my break as as soon as my break come i was back reading again when i thought i was back on my game knowing thinking what will happen i kinda new what i thought was going to happen then again "BANG" this time i'm gobsmacked i could not say anything and that's a first for me. this book has everything a thriller lover could ever ask for and more "the wife between us" has so many twist and turns its twist after twist after twist you will feel like your brain has done a 3 hour workout! even until the last page the last work will shock you totally addictive and unputdownable this book will take over your life this writing duo is amazing i just can't wait till the next book if i could rate this book higher then a 5 i would rate it 10/10 thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for my copy

Wow - the best book I've read this year - and I've read a lot! I love psychological thrillers and this is right up there with the best - I don't think I've ever read a book before that twisted quite the way this one did - several times I had to stop and reassess what I thought was happening - I loved it. Definitely highly recommended.

This is a great psychological thriller which gets you hooked from the beginning. I questioned my interpretations time and time again and never guessed how it would end.
Vanessa the main character is divorced from Richard who is wealthy and to the outside world the perfect husband. She on the other hand is protrayed as an alcoholic mixed up character.
Richards plans of remarrying sends Vanessa on a crusade to show everyone the real Richard.
The plot has may turns and twists and makes you wonder who is telling the truth . Marriage, secrets, betrayals, childhood issues, control and manipulation is all protrayed within the story. An incredibly well written story with a fantastic ending, a must read !!

The Wife Between Us took psychological/mystery/suspense genre to a whole new level for me. There was no point in trying to assume anything, the magnificently clever twists blew me away. I couldn't put it down and stayed up reading until the very early hours of the morning - something that I haven't done in while. If I could give it more stars I would. Loved it so much that I can't wait to read it again.

Wish I could give more than just 5 stars.
A true page turner that kept me gripped throughout. An absolute must read for any fan of this genre.

I'd heard so much about this book and was really looking forward to reading it. (How many other novels have their own hashtag? #OMGthattwist) It doesn't disappoint. Very well constructed, the novel flows well and unlike some readers I didn't feel that there were any slow parts. It does have you wondering if you are looking at it from the right angle and questioning who exactly is the baddie here whilst keeping you that way to the end. My only advice would be not to expect any twists. They are more like subtle shifts and I think if I hadn't read any of the reviews first I would have enjoyed it even more. That said, I would definitely recommend it providing you are prepared not to get anything else done that weekend. It is difficult to put down. Many thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read it in return for an honest review.
