APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jane Corry's compulsively readable debut novel, a bestseller in the UK, is a gripping psychological thriller that never takes the easy way out. Corry creates palpable tension out of the fraught relationships between her deftly drawn characters. My Husband's Wife is a stylish, deliciously unnerving mystery about guilt, pride, and the lies we convince ourselves to believe.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Newlywed London lawyer Lily Macdonald's best intentions land her in some of the worst predicaments in British author Corry's devilishly devious U.S. debut, in which almost no one proves totally trustworthy. For instance, Lily's generous impulse to befriend nine-year-old neighbor Carla Cavoletti, a bullied Italian immigrant with whose vulnerability she identifies, will eventually change the course of the lives of Lily and her artist husband, Ed, unfortunately not for the better. Similarly, Lily's drive to champion clients she views as underdogs, which stems in part from experiences with her autistic brother, blinds her to the fact that some are dangerously manipulative liars who actually belong behind bars. But well-meaning as Lily is, readers will discover she isn't above hiding some rather unsavory secrets of her own. As twisty as little Carla's glossy curls, which inspire Ed's best work, this swiftly moving psychological thriller offers surprises right up to the finish.
