What the Wife Knew

A Novel

By: Darby Kane

Narrated by: Helen Laser, Andrew Eiden

Darby Kane, author of the #1 international bestseller Pretty Little Wife, returns with another twisty domestic thriller about a wife wondering who tried to kill her husband twice before finally succeeding… because that was supposed to be her job.

Dr. Richmond Dougherty is a renowned pediatric surgeon, an infamous tragedy survivor, and a national hero. He’s also very dead—thanks to a fall down the stairs. His neighbors angrily point a finger at the newest Ms. Dougherty, Addison. The sudden marriage to the mysterious young woman only lasted ninety-seven days, and he’d had two suspicious “accidents” during that time. Now Addison is a very rich widow.

As law enforcement starts to circle in on Addison and people in town become increasingly hostile, sides are chosen with Kathryn, Richmond’s high school sweetheart, wife number one, and the mother of his children, leading the fray. Despite rising tensions, Addison is even more driven to forge ahead on the path she charted years ago…

Determined at all costs to unravel Richmond’s legacy, she soon becomes a target—with a shocking note left on her bedroom wall: You will pay. But it will take a lot more than faceless threats to stop Addison. Her plan to marry Richmond then ruin him may have been derailed by his unexpected death, but she’s not done with him yet.

Twisty

Very twisty I enjoyed it wished for a different ending but I get it enjoyed

Shocking over and over

This is one of those books that was so gosh darn good I could not put it down....well turn off my phone. I would listen to it at my desk when I should have been concentrating on my work. sort of captivated me from the very get go.

Great narration - fantastic story

Gripping tale of family manipulation, murder, along with making and trusting new friends. I loved every minute!

Not

The most twisty but did have some. Liked the main character. I think she had good character.

Very sick and twisty, but a good tale.

This is a LOT, but extremely imaginative. I think it went on a little long at the end and I was put off by the way the two narrators delivered nearly every single line with a snide lilt, but the storyline, although a bit far-fetched, kept me listening.
Liked it all but the narration.
