The Second Wife 12/20/18 rating : 5 Netgalley Review
Rebecca and Nicole swore to be best friends forever. But three years after they last met up, Rebecca receives a phone call from Nicole’s devoted husband, Richard. Nicole is dead, a tragic suicide. Drowned in a river close to her family home, Richard was the one who pulled her body from the water. Now he can’t even speak about what happened.

While Rebecca reels from the news, she reads her friend’s last letters to her and begins to wonder if she knew Nicole at all. What secrets was she keeping from all the people who knew and loved her?

As Rebecca gets closer and closer to Richard, things go too far and she begins to slip into Nicole’s old life – staying in her home, sleeping in her bed… But if she’s going to become the wife Nicole never was, can she keep herself safe?

My thoughts
5 stars all the way
as soon as i saw this and read the book synopsis I was like this reminds me of two other Netgalley books I've read this year and loved , and that they gave off the same vibe as this one and they was The Wife Between Us by The Wife Between Us
by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and The Ex-Wife
by Jess Ryder,and i was so right , just like them it pulled me in and i was hooked , and not once did i think about putting it down, i had to keep reading and see what happened next, just like them is now one of my favorite ones to read and i want to own a copy of it, its also a book i would tell my friends about ,because they tens to like the same things i do, in fact i already have, can't wait to read more by this author , so if you like and loved The Wife Between Us and the Ex-Wife then you might want to check this one out as well, with that said I want to say thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting read and review The Second Wife and for helping me find other author that i like in change for my honest opinion.

They’re comparing suspense books The Girl on the Train and The Wife Between Us to The Second Wife. I don’t think there’s any comparison at all. This is.not a suspense novel just a sad story with an unlikeable plot and unredeemable characters.

WOW! What a great thriller. I have already ordered the author's other novels. I love books that alternate characters perspectives. This one had so many twists and turns. You honestly don't know what will come next.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Tons and i mean tons of wonderful twists and turns.. keeping you on your toes. Another unputdownable from Sheryl. Was waiting for this one to come to netgalley, and the wait was worth it.


Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for an early release of this book

Sheryl Browne has recently written 2 awesome Psychological thrillers ‘The Babysitter’ and ‘The Affair’ and I was genuinely excited to be reading and reviewing ‘The Second Wife’, I wondered what side the author would show us of her writing prowess in this genre....
I was not to be disappointed, all the usual ingredients are there....intrigue, drama, characters that leap out of the pages at you and also ones you love.......and hate! ( as you are meant to).....twists, turns and a wonderful plot...BUT this book is darker, the storyline is shocking yet real and I think some life experience is mingled with fiction to create this tale of deceit, sexual deviance and preying on the vunerable that really is a page turner, I read it in less than a day, I HAD to know what happened, to who and when!!!!
As always the writing style is clear and welcoming and draws you in in the authors special way and keeps you there throughout
Superb, one of those books makes you proud to be a reader
10/10 5 Stars
