The Wife Before: A totally addictive psychological thriller with edge-of-your-seat suspense
First published 2026
She says your new boyfriend killed his ex. He says it's all lies. Who do you believe? When I first met Jack, he broke down in tears as he told me about the tragic death of his wife, Natalia, on a family holiday. As our relationship blossomed and we started planning a future together, I would lie awake worrying about filling Natalia's perfect shoes. But everything changes when her mother turns up at my door... Jack swears she's lying, and I want to believe him but something isn't right. Why doesn't he have a single picture of her? And why do I feel afraid when I confront him about the night Natalia died? What if it wasn't grief after all, but guilt? As I stroke my baby bump, I wonder if I can really trust the man I love. If he killed Natalia, could I be next? Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Girl on the Train will be absolutely hooked on this nail-biting psychological thriller. Prepare to be gripped! 'Just wow! Another amazing read by Sheryl Browne! This was a fast-paced rollercoaster ride leaving me with quite the case of whiplash. Starts with a bang and never lets up... Had me flipping pages as fast as I could...
