A Richard and Judy Book Club Bestseller
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.
'Fiendishly clever' – Anita Shreve, bestselling author of The Stars are Fire

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hendricks, who spent more than 20 years as a book editor, joins forces with Pekkanen (The Best of Us) to create a jaw-dropping psychological thriller. Unreliable narrator Vanessa Thompson is obsessed with her ex-husband's fianc e and on the verge of becoming unhinged. She gave up everything to have a fairy tale life in Westchester with too-good-to-be-true hedge fund manager Richard. After a series of failed fertility treatments, their marriage unraveled, and Richard leaves her for a younger woman. Hendricks and Pekkanen chronicle a marriage gone wrong through the alternating accounts of the shattered Vanessa and a vibrant, younger woman named Nellie. This is not another eye-rolling story about the jealous ex-wife stalking her replacement, as readers will discover as Vanessa's motivations are revealed. Unforgettable twists lead to shocking revelations all the way through the epilogue. 250,000-copy announced first printing.

Es zieht sich ewig. Nicht spannend bis zum Ende und auch das Ende ist enttäuschend.
Es gibt einen guten twist und der Rest ist verschwendete Zeit.
