Publisher's Summary

Soon to be a major motion picture from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners, the creative team behind The Girl on the Train and Ready Player One

From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen comes the next hit audiobook thriller

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions.

You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love.
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Listen for the truth between the lies.

This audiobook contains a bonus interview with the authors.

What the critics say

"Julia Whelan reads the novel in her low, pleasant voice, moving down a register to capture Richard's infuriating condescension and lightening slightly for the younger Emma. With its perfidious turns, this escapist entertainment is a fine example of the 21st century's more cynical version of the O. Henry ending." (The Washington Post)

"Readers who were enthralled by B.A. Paris's Behind Closed Doors and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will love the skewed psychology and shifting perspectives in this domestic thriller." (Library Journal)

"A fiendishly clever romantic thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. This one will keep you guessing." (Anita Shreve, New York Times best-selling author of The Stars Are Fire)

Fantastic

Struggled to put it down! Fantastic story. Early on I had figured out a small part of "the truth" I was disappointed thinking that would be the twist. That was not the twist. As the stpry unwinds new and surprising twists emerged right to the very end.
Can't wait for their next book!

Just OK

Narration: It was ok. Did not care for the way the woman lowered her voice for male speaker. It was just awful.

Story: Somewhat underwhelming. Climax was meh. There are a couple of twists but neither seem to actually impact the story. One twist kind of has a reference to an incident in Part I, but the one in the Epilogue left me feeling like, "so?" It just had no effect on the story as a whole. Some questions are never answered, as I think scenes were written simply to mislead the reader and for no other purpose. Such as what is the point of chapter 16? Akso, she expresses a lot of emotional distress in Part I, where she says she feels her life is just ending. As you get further in the story, I can't help but feel that is not how she would truly feel. Once you have read the whole story, some of the early parts seem contrived and meant to purposely lead you to a wrong conclusion rather than crafting the story in an honest but still suspenseful way.

Overall, it was ok. It did keep me entertained while I was sick for a couple days.

Whiney and frustrating & not shocking at the end

Took a long time (~half the book) of whining and complaining. Finally there was some action and it was decent. But the ending was not shocking. Very anti climatic. I enjoyed listening to the authors describe their writing at the very end.

Kept me listening!

Plenty of plot twists and turns. Believable characters. Accurately portrays the plight of the abused woman and the damaged men who can destroy their lives. Performance is good except the men's voices. I never enjoy a woman trying to sound like a man. It doesn't portray as real so I'd rather listen without the changing of the voice.

oh. my. God.

It is rare that I am tricked by a plot twist. I was thoroughly tricked. MORE THAN ONCE. Absolutely riveting.
