The New Wife

A Totally Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Twist You Won't See Coming

De: Sue Watson

Narrado por: Tamsin Kennard

You can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors....

My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart, and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying "I do" to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best.

But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense he’s hiding something. Why won’t he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?

Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Lauren’s bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My son’s beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my son’s name? And could my life be in danger now too?

A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us, and The Woman in the Window.

Finally, a good book!

I’ve been through or attempted to go through so many duds lately, even though this isn’t the most original, it’s my kind of read. It’s an easy read with not too many characters and the story is linear. Which, makes it easy to follow and the dynamic between the families is interesting.
Lauren and Sam meet in nursery school their families staying close being good friends through the years. The two get married then 3 months after a perfect wedding Lauren is dead.
The rest of the book is a whodunit with the police arresting Sam right off the bat.
It grabbed me from the first chapter. I recommended it.

what a twist!!

This is my first book to read by this author, but I guarantee it won't be my last!! This book had me guessing and guessing, just when I've thought I guessed who.....nope another twist!! Both the narrator and author amazing!!! A must get book!!

GREAT BOOK

Very entertaining total 5 stars. One may not like most of the characters but it definitely was an entertaining mystery and to me that is what it is all about.

Wow!!!

loved this book and the ending I never saw coming!! It's a must read!

Solid

Sue Watson rarely disappoints. The narrator was excellent as well. Very twisty at the end.

If you like main character being a single Extremely naïve woman, extremely naïve

Definitely not my cup of tea As I do not appreciate main characters being blind to reality, like a child not seeing what’s in front of her, so naïve is the main character shocked by the unveiled truth throughout the entire book till the end when she finally realizes her weakness in taking people at face value. The narrator‘s nervousness depicting this character was enough to put me off not wanting to Continue listening.The twists were interesting but drowned out by this Ignorant, irritating single woman With no back bone,totally absorbed in her son, her life.

Another great mystery thriller by Sue Watson!

Another amazing gripping stunning twist written brilliantly by Sue Watson!

This really has a twist you won’t see coming and the narration makes it just oh so perfect.

Loved it! Worth every credit/or penny depending on what format you use.

Worth the credit

I enjoyed this one. Couldn’t wait to get back to it! It’s so good to find a good listen!

The New Wife

I couldn't put this book/listen down, it was one of her best! I have read most of this author's books, she has the ability to keep you guessing to the end and this was no exception. I loved it and am looking forward to the next. The narration is excellent.

Good listen

A lot of twist and maybe too many, too much chatter from characters that twist the story but other than that I enjoyed it. There were some great parts and I do like the twist but more so the one that occurred naturally. Good character development, I thought. If you are looking for a not to serious, easy listen, this is one.
