Summary
Now a New York Times top 10 best seller.
When you listen to this book, you will make many assumptions.
It's about a jealous wife, obsessed with her replacement.
It's about a younger woman set to marry the man she loves.
The first wife seems like a disaster; her replacement is the perfect woman.
You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships.
You will be wrong.
The Wife Between Us is the first collaboration between Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen; a gripping thriller with film rights sold to the creators of The Girl On the Train.

Stunning Edge of The Seat Thriller
I absolutely loved this book and could not stop listening to it. There were so many twists none of which I anticipated and the final twist was a real surprise. This book was so well written the characters well defined and the dialogue sharp and interesting. I also enjoyed the narrator and felt she brought real life to the characters. I cannot wait for the next book from these authors.

I expected a bit more
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. Having read the reviews I expected a huge twist at the end. Yes there was a twist (but you have to wait until the epilogue). I was disappointed
Did Julia Whelan do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
No great difference between all male and female character voices
Did The Wife Between Us inspire you to do anything?
NO
Any additional comments?
It was an OK read but didn't have be gripped until the end as some of the write ups suggested it would

Just awful
What a waste of 9 hours, luckily I listen to audible when I’m busy doing other things or if have been very upset,
There is no twist whatsoever unless you count the weird unlikely ‘coincidence’ in the epilogue.
There was no character building, I didn’t like any of the people in the book except perhaps the very small part of long suffering Aunt Charlotte. The main character is dull, boring and weak. Her husband is a 2 dimensional person from the start. I couldn’t care less what happened to them. I only kept listening because the other reviews promised twists and turns..
Spoiler alert: it’s a very common story of slightly controlling man married weak woman, he pays for everything so she should be grateful. He tries to control her by making her think she’s going mad- but honestly it’s the weakest control storyline I’ve ever read or met in real life, I have known people in far more unhealthy relationships than thus book tried to credit.
During the conversation between the 2 authors they say how complicated the story is! No, it isn’t, it’s boring and very obvious.

Very Clever
This is the kind of book you just can’t stop listening to. Very gripping story from the start and then a great twist in the middle that sets the tone for the rest of the book. The twists don’t end there either! Really enjoyable!

Fairly predictable
Very similar storyline to another book; ‘the last Mrs. Parish’, but not quite as good. I found it very predictable

Lazy writing
If this was a movie I'd have walked out. Didn't finish listening. Life's too short.

Pretty boring!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The narrator was ok, but the story lacked any real pull. I found it very boring, wouldn't recommend.
Has The Wife Between Us put you off other books in this genre?
no

Sounds like a robot is reading this!
My first audible and I am not impressed. The robot voice reading it is too distracting. Are all books like this? If so I will cancel my membership absolutely unbelievable

Terrible ending
I was waiting for the big twist but it never came. Totally predicable. Very disappointing.
