"Julia Whelan reads the novel in her low, pleasant voice, moving down a register to capture Richard's infuriating condescension and lightening slightly for the younger Emma. With its perfidious turns, this escapist entertainment is a fine example of the 21st century's more cynical version of the O. Henry ending." The Washington Post

From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen comes the next hit audiobook thriller, an instant New York Times bestseller!

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement – a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love.
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Listen for the truth between the lies.


Praise for The Wife Between Us:

"Addictive domestic thrillers with twist-filled plots and unreliable narrators are increasingly popular. Add in assumptions that should not be assumed, shape-shifting, surprising characters and a complex chronology, and you have a hint of what you'll find in The Wife Between Us...All will be made clear, or perhaps not, as you listen to Julia Whelan's tautly paced performance." BookPage

“A clever thriller with masterful twists.” – Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of The Kept Woman

"Readers who were enthralled by B.A. Paris's Behind Closed Doors and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will love the skewed psychology and shifting perspectives in this domestic thriller." - Library Journal

"A fiendishly clever romantic thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. This one will keep you guessing." –Anita Shreve, New York Times bestselling author of The Stars are Fire

"A twisty, mind-bending novel about marriage and betrayal. A gripping plot and fascinating characters; this book will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end. A must-read!" –Lauren Weisberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada

Am relevantesten
Die Grundidee gefiel mir sehr gut und die Tatsache, dass hier verschiedene Zeitlinien erzählt werden, um den Leser in die Irre zu führen ist interessant. Die Sprecherin im Englischen macht ihre Sache gut, auch wenn sie leicht nachlässt beim Sprechen männlicher Stimmen.
Meiner Meinung nach lässt das Buch aber sehr stark nach und man hätte definitiv mehr aus der Thematik und der Erzählstruktur rausholen können. Die Charaktere verhalten sich teilweise sehr unrealistisch und das nimmt gegen Ende nur noch zu. Letztendlich führen alle Handlungsstränge in ein sehr merkwürdiges Wirrwarr.

Generell ein sehr unterhaltsames Buch, aber nicht unbedingt ein gutes. Ganz nett für zwischendurch, aber definitiv kein Titel, an den man sich lange erinnern wird.

Vielversprechender Anfang, enttäuschendes Ende

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

Die Sprecherin war sehr klar und gut verständlich, auch wenn man nicht Muttersprachler ist. Von der Geschichte hätte ich mir ein wenig mehr erwartet. Man hat schon gerätselt, aber es schien doch alles sehr konstruiert am Ende und ich hatte auch auf mehr Spannungselemente gehofft.

Gut hörbar, Geschichte durchschnittlich

This is a book that is a pleasure to listen to. I don't want to give away anything, but the story is great, and the plot develops logically. Just go ahead, you will not regret buying this one.
