Louise has had to watch her husband, Andrew, start a new family in the four years since he left her. The ‘other woman’ is now his wife - but Louise isn’t ready to let Caz enjoy the life that was once hers or to let go of the man she still loves. As Louise starts to dig into Caz’s past, the two women’s pretence of civility starts to slip. But in trying to undermine each other, they discover more about the man they both married. And when Andrew is murdered at a family party, both women are found standing over the body. It’s always the wife. But which one?

When I arrive unannounced at my husband's studio in need of a shoulder to cry on after hearing that my best student, Alex, has died, I see a pair of wineglasses drying by the sink, and my deepest fear is confirmed: my husband is having an affair. Most women would fall to their knees in tears and throw him out of the house - but I just can't bring myself to do it. Instead, I go home and cook a healthy dinner for our children, walk the dog, and unload the dishwasher without complaint. I need this marriage to work to protect a terrible secret of my own....

Ellen was just trying to help a stranger. That was how it started: giving a few minutes respite to a flustered young mother sitting opposite her on the train. A few minutes holding her baby while the mother makes an urgent call. The weight of the child in her arms making Ellen's heart ache for what she can never have. Five minutes pass. Ten. The train pulls into a station and Ellen is stunned to see the mother hurrying away down the platform without looking back.

Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him. Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere. But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.

Just four words were printed in the card. He doesn’t love you. I’ve been dreaming about this day - marrying Adam, my childhood sweetheart, who I’ve loved for 18 years. I didn’t realize the perfect day would turn into the perfect nightmare. I was so excited to send out the wedding invitations, carefully writing everyone’s names on thick cream paper in beautiful cursive script. I had no idea I was inviting someone to destroy our marriage.

Not enough sex scenes to save it
Awful book. Perhaps a little bit more sex scenes, a little bit more graphic description of the scenes already written, and I might have overlooked the awfulness of the writing.
Well it wasn't as indigestible as Fifty Shades of Grey tho, so it at least got that going for it.

waste of time
I could not finish this book and this is so unlike me as am a sticker, normally sure.... surely... it will improve. This was taundry beyond belief. I felt soiled just listening and this had nothing to do with sex scenes. There was a feeling of perversion... despoiling of innocence. Awful..

A keeper! I will listen to this again and again
I love this book. Blooming fantastic storytelling. Told from two POVs Mia's and Charlie's both married women who get involved in a complicated friendship. I loved both of them and Kit is just adorable.
If you are married, read this book. Even if you're not married, read it anyway. You've got to have an open mind though. The story is compelling and intriguing. I listened to the audio book in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. Did all my chores with it plugged into my headset.
I should add that the narration is absolutely faultless.

Killed by the horrific female narration of 'shouty grumpy' male voices
Great story! Different from your usual but became hard to listen to with Laurences Bouvatds horrible 'male' narrated voices.
Why do female narrators feel the need to spit out male voices in that all to familiar grumpy snarky cutting tone?
Please stop. She sounded like the Prince Philip 'spitting image' puppet ...an absolute caricature with no dynamic.
Horrendous. (But the book was brilliant)

Badly written porn
I should have read the reviews first, but had read some of Tess' earlier books an they were fine.
There was no sort but just a load of badly written sex scenes. The voices were totally grating; and the whole thing was a waste of time. Don't bother.
