The Wife Between Us

The Wife Between Us

From the authors of the no 1. New York Times bestselling novel An Anonymous Girl. "A fiendishly smart cat-and-mouse thriller" New York Times Book Review When you read 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.

Twisted & original. But storyline & character of Richard, Maureen & „the replacement“ weren’t as well developed. The revelation at the very end felt a bit forced and was unnecessary in my opinion

The human body often responds in the same way to two overarching emotional statesromantic arousal and fear, a scientist had explained. I close my eyes and try to recall exactly what the expert said. “Consider the pounding in the chest, the dilating of the pupils, the increase in blood pressure. These are sensations that appear in both terror and arousal."

Don't ever open an umbrella inside. It's bad luck.

She heard his steady heartbeat, the one that lulled her to sleep when nothing else could.

Tell colorful, drawnout stories that deflect attention from the fact that you aren't actually sharing anything. Avoid specifics that will separate you from the crowd. completely necessary. Be vague about the year you graduated. Lie, but only when completely necessary.
