Review: The Wife Between Us

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press and the authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen for an advanced ebook in exchange for an honest review.

A jealous first wife. Drinking to excess, fired from her job, she lashes out to those who are only trying to help her. The ex-husband, who is just trying to move on. The new fiancee, marrying the man of her dreams. The prologue reveals the first wife hiding in the shadows, stalking the fiancee. The blurb tells you to assume nothing and even though you know this, try as you might, you will still make assumptions. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to tell you the plot. I will screw it up - I just know it. Even if I try my hardest, something might slip and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone. Just do yourself a favour, pick this one up and enjoy.

This was brilliant! I loved every second of this novel. I enjoyed the ride immensely, trying to figure out what was going to happen. It had a “couldn’t put it down” quality and was filled with twists and turns. So smart and so well done. The ending was so exciting and didn’t disappoint. I was invested in the characters and cared about what was happening. I tried to be cynical and say, okay, no one Is what they seem, you know there are”big twists”, just figure out whatever they are setting up and it will be the opposite. I mean, I’m not stupid, I read books, there are no new ideas. But, I have to say, it was fresh and I loved it.

So enjoyable, so much fun. A psychological thriller with enough substance that puts it a head above the rest. Come on - read it already so we can talk about it!
