The New York Times | USA Today | The Globe and Mail | The Toronto Star

New York Times bestselling author Tarryn Fisher delivers a pulse-pounding, fast-paced suspense novel that will leave you breathless. A thriller you won’t be able to put down!

Imagine that your husband has two other wives.

You’ve never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don’t care. Or at least that’s what you’ve told yourself.

But one day, while you’re doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket—an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it’s another of the wives.

You thought you were fine with your arrangement, but you can’t help yourself: you track her down, and, under false pretenses, you strike up a friendship. Hannah has no idea who you really are. Then Hannah starts showing up to your coffee dates with telltale bruises, and you realize she’s being abused by her husband. Who, of course, is also your husband. But you’ve never known him to be violent, ever.

Who exactly is your husband, and how far would you be willing to go to find out?

And who is his mysterious third wife?

Mixed

There was great potential with this book. The quality of writing, in itself, was good unlike the plot. We don’t know how to feel toward the main character…sympathetic, frustrated, confident? Mostly, this book made me hopeful that I would be wowed by the surprise I had been waiting for. At some point, I tried to think of the many clever ways this book could end. Given the writer’s overall talent, I’m only disappointed that she didn’t use that talent toward its conclusion. I will say that the narrator was flawless.

She's Done It Again!

Tarryn has a way of filling your head with all the ways her books will end... and BAM.... she flips it! This was an amazing read! I started it in the morning and finished it by 4pm! The way Tarryn writes is absolutely incredible... I can see in vivid color (in my crazy head) the exact scenes as they play out. This will be a book I go back and read on numerous occasions to see what I have missed.

Surprised...!

At first I was like a few of the previous reviewers, not sure I was willing to wade through an entire book with such a gullible and weak main character. I’m glad I gave it a chance as it was so worth the initial angst. I highly recommend this book as entertaining and mind bending. I think this book rates almost 5 stars.
The narrator was incredible.
I look forward to reading more by this author.

WOW

I have been reading very "average" books after books. I've been waiting for a real psychological thriller to come along and totally wow me. Well, this was it! I HIGHLY recommend this book if you like guessing games. Just when you think you have it all figured out, something else will happen that will surprise you and add new twists to the plot; right up until until the very end!

I couldn't stop!!!

I loved this book. I couldn't stop listening! I finished it in one day! amazing

unusual story...full of fantasy and unexpectedness

I loved it loads and ..found it difficult to put down. the narrator performs super well.

Loved it all but the ending!

Love the narrator in the main character’s voice… Did not care for the male lead’s voice… I’ve heard him in a different story and it was very distracting for me.

Shlocky

I liked the concept for the book but the execution was eh. I don't feel like the author had a great understanding of real life polygamy.

Suspenseful

An unordinary story that keeps you guessing. Even when I thought I had it figured out, something would happen to make me think again. I enjoyed it.

Crazy!

Loved the reader.... the voices were fab. The story so crazy it scared me...shock ing ending...
