The Wife’s Silence by Amanda McKinney is a dark and gripping psychological thriller that had me hooked from the very start. Full of deception, vengeance and carefully guarded secrets, it kept me guessing until the final page.

Lucy Greer is desperate to rebuild her life, so when she takes a job caring for Emilia Caine, the silent and ailing wife of wealthy entrepreneur Thomas Caine, she hopes it will be a fresh start. But from the moment she steps into the house, something feels off. The disappearance of the Caines' teenage son years ago still lingers over them, and everyone seems to be hiding something. The housekeeper has her theories, and the ex-wife has secrets, but it is Emilia who holds the darkest truth of all. Trapped in her silence, she knows exactly what happened—and with Lucy’s arrival, the carefully constructed lies are about to unravel.

This book was unsettling in the best way, filled with tension and shocking twists that had me racing through the pages. The atmosphere was so well crafted, and I found myself completely drawn into the mystery.
