Resumen del Editor

“[A] must-read thriller...My Husband’s Wife has an ending that will change the way you view marriage forever.” (Bustle)

“If you loved Gone Girl and The Talented Mr. Ripley, you’ll love My Husband’s Wife. It’s got every thriller’s trifecta: love, marriage, and murder.” (Parade)

“The novel’s plot is as provocative as its title.” (The Washington Post)

From the best-selling author of The Dead Ex, a deliciously addictive psychological thriller about the powerful effects of little white lies on three intertwined lives - and when those secrets become deadly.

When young lawyer Lily marries Ed, she’s determined to make a fresh start and leave the secrets of the past behind. But then she takes on her first murder case and meets Joe, a convicted murderer to whom Lily is strangely drawn - and for whom she will soon be willing to risk almost anything. But Lily is not the only one with secrets. Her next-door neighbor Carla may be only nine, but she has already learned that secrets are powerful things. That they can get her whatever she wants. When Lily finds Carla on her doorstep 12 years later, a chain of events is set in motion that can end only one way.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Full of twists and turns, [My Husband's Wife] draws you into its complicated world within the first chapter, and it doesn't let you go until you've turned the final page. Corry's talented storytelling and brilliant writing make even the most seemingly obvious aspects of the novel appear in surprising ways. A must-read book for fans of the kind of psychological thrillers that have been all the rage.” (Bustle)

"[My Husband's Wife] nicely fits into the psychological suspense genre that’s riding a slipstream of popularity, thanks to the success of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.... Addictive...[a] seemingly unending trove of delicious disasters and deceits.” (Washington Post)

“If you loved Gone Girl and The Talented Mr. Ripley, you’ll love My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry. It’s got every thriller’s trifecta: love, marriage and murder.” (Parade)

YAWN

This story was really long, uneventful and extremely boring. There was so much missed opportunity. Nothing really happened until the end! And there wasn't even any build up before the climax.

I hate to leave negative criticism but I think it's better to be honest. The story is okay, but it's just very long and drawn out, without enough substance. I feel like this could have been much more exciting but instead, it was a yawner.

Intriguing

The narrator took a little getting use to. Her voice didnt seem to match the character. The book became increasingly intriguing.

Great listen!

Excellent, and suspenseful. Very good narration, and story line. The author doesn't leave anything out, but at no point is long and drawn out.

My Husband's Wife

Roslyn Landor can even make the reading of a recepy exciting. The Story was engaging.

Well written, well told, disturbing story

While this story was well written and well told, my personal taste keeps me from giving it 5 stars. One of the main characters is a narcissistic, sociopathic, words I won't use in a review. It gives great insight into how our culture often breeds self centered individuals. This story goes more in depth than any I've ever read. You have to give the author credit for planning it all so well. But I found myself feeling annoyed for 2 reasons. First, trying to keep the mystery alive meant that I found myself wondering what the book was actually about... even halfway though. And second, I was overwhelmingly annoyed by the younger main character. Wouldnt recommend this book if you have similar self centered people that you've tried to push out of your life.

Page Turner!
