“A marital saga so pitch-black it makes Gone Girl look like the romance of the decade... [The Woman Inside] resembles past smashes like Big Little Lies and The Woman in the Window.”—Entertainment Weekly An impossible-to-put-down domestic thriller about secrets and revenge, told from the perspectives of a husband and wife who are the most perfect, and the most dangerous, match for each other. Paul and Rebecca are drowning as the passion that first ignited their love has morphed into duplicitous secrecy, threatening to end their marriage, freedom, and sanity. Rebecca, in the throes of opioid addiction, uncovers not only her husband’s affair but also his plan to build a new life with the other woman. Spiraling desperately, she concocts a devious plot of her own—one that could destroy absolutely everything. The Woman Inside is a shockingly twisty story of deceit, an unforgettable portrait of a marriage imploding from within, and a cautionary tale about how love can morph into something far more sinister. It’s a novel about how people grow apart and how those closest to us can be harboring the most shocking of secrets.

Charlotte, a midthirties Long Island woman, has felt so alone since her promising career in neuroscience imploded. But she has an online support group for trauma survivors; she has Rachel, a friend who has seen her through the worst of it; and now she also has Peter, a mysterious new boyfriend who has asked that their budding romance remain a total secret. That is why she is too scared to report his disappearance to the authorities when he vanishes without a word. Weeks later, police contact her to make an ID on a body and she fears the worst for her missing beau. Instead, she arrives at the morgue and feels a terrible relief when she sees a woman she has never met before on the table in front of her. But relief is replaced by confusion, then terror, when Charlotte realizes she has become a person of interest. Why did Jane Doe have Charlotte listed as her emergency contact? Was it revenge or a warning? And where exactly does Peter factor into all this? As Charlotte becomes the prime murder suspect, she enters into a race against the clock to find truth about the dead woman and the connections they shared. But what she discovers is beyond anything she could have ever imagined.

The Rule of Three

"Un debut electrizant, cu un final absolut imprevizibil." – Booklist Rebecca nu ştia că iubirea este posibilă până să-l întâlnească pe Paul, un bărbat însurat al cărui trecut e la fel de îndurerat ca al ei. Atraşi irezistibil unul de celălalt, cei doi sfârşesc prin a fi împreună, având sentimentul că sunt perechea perfectă. Dar, douăzeci de ani mai târziu, secretele sumbre care i-au făcut să se apropie ajung să le distrugă căsnicia. Amândoi au aventuri, dar relaţia lui Paul cu ultima lui amantă scapă de sub control. În plus, prima lui soție îl urmăreşte cu tot mai multă insistenţă, iar Rebecca descoperă planul elaborat al lui Paul de a-şi construi o nouă viaţă. Şi, cu toate că ajunge victima dependenţei de opioide, Rebecca pune şi ea la cale un plan malefic, unul care ar putea fi fatal. Ce urmează e un joc imprevizibil şi elegant de-a şoarecele şi pisica, o poveste tulburătoare despre infidelitate şi neîncredere, care te ţine în suspans până la surprinzătoarea răsturnare de situaţie din final, făcându-te să te întrebi cât de bine îţi cunoşti partenerul de viaţă. "O saga maritală atât de sumbră, încât, prin comparaţie, Fata dispărută de Gillian Flynn pare povestea de dragoste a deceniului." - Entertainment Weekly "Până şi cei mai abili cititori de thrillere, care se mândresc că pot ghici finalul unui roman, vor fi incapabili să anticipeze deznodământul Femeii ascunse. Debutul celor doi autori are o intrigă foarte complexă, presărată cu umor negru de foarte bună calitate." - Shelf Awareness for Readers "Povestea este spusă din puncte de vedere alternative, fiecare dintre ele dezvăluind detalii şi secrete care adâncesc misterul şi te fac să citeşti cartea pe nerăsuflate." - B&N Reads
