What if your life was built on a lie?

MY HUSBAND’S WIFE is a gripping depiction of modern marriage – full of twists and an ending that comes like a lightning bolt. It’s perfect for fans of upmarket thrillers, psychological dramas, and stories about families. With a pacey dual narrative, a set of complex characters, and a dark chain of events spanning 16 years, this is a hugely well-written and compelling thriller.

Newly qualified lawyer Lily is determined to make her marriage work, even if it’s built on a bed of lies. She suspects that her new husband Ed, a struggling artist, doesn’t actually love her, and then there’s her own lie about her brother, whose death is a forbidden subject. And there’s also Joe, the client in Lily’s first criminal defence case, a man who is accused of murdering his girlfriend, but to whom she is inexplicably drawn and will soon be willing to risk everything for.

But is he really innocent?

Lily is not the only one with a talent for untruths. Carla, her 9-year-old neighbour, has already learnt that lying can get her what she wants – and she doesn’t care who gets hurt. When Lily’s husband decides to paint Carla, a chain of catastrophic events is set in place which spans 16 years and can only end with fatal consequences. An eye for an eye. A wife for a wife…
