Staff Reviews

Chilling and suspenseful, you will assume you are reading about Vanessa, heartbroken and constantly drunk, stalking her ex-husbands new girlfriend. Fueled by jealousy and rage, you may worry of what Vanessa will do.

Nellie is young and naive. A preschool teacher, she adores all things and seems too pure and innocent for NYC. Of course, Richard, Vanessa's ex-husband, fell head over heels in love with her. Nellie is constantly afraid though- she always has the sensation someone is watching her, following her. She gets phone calls from blocked numbers with nothing but breathing on the other end. 

What do these two women have in common, besides their mutual love for Richard, ex-husband to one, future husband to the other? So much more than you'll expect.

The fact is everyone has secrets they'd like to keep hidden. Those secrets have a way of coming out though, especially when you'd like them too least.

While some of the twists in this book are less surprising, others make you grip the edge of your seat. If you are looking for a book to get lost into, this is the one for you.

The Wife Between Us has one of the best surprises I have ever read in a suspense novel! It helps that you become easily intrigued with the intertwined stories of a recent divorcée stuck in her downward spiral and a young woman who is so in love with her fiancé she is willing to overlook all niggling doubts. Then you discover that these wholly relatable characters, in whom you have become so invested, are not necessarily what they seem. Seamlessly moving between characters and effortlessly increasing the suspense, authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have beautifully crafted a chilling tale about discovering that everyone wears a façade.

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.

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, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Read between the lies.
