As you read The Wife Between Us<\/a> (yes, I\u2019m already assuming you\u2019re going to), you\u2019ll have flashes of other books or movies.\u00a0 <\/span>It might be the controlling husband in Sleeping with the Enemy, or the unreliable, alcoholic narrator in Girl on the Train<\/a>. Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen take advantage of that, crafting a domestic thriller that initially has you thinking you have it all figured out. Turn by clever turn, you\u2019ll realize you know nothing. I was 80 pages in and still trying to figure out who the problem was \u2014 Richard, the husband; Nellie, the fiancee, or Vanessa, the ex.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"the<\/a>
ARC provided St. Martin\u2019s Press for review<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Wife Between Us paints a complex picture of marriage and the things we’re willing to excuse in the name of love. Richard has shades of the husband in the aforementioned\u00a0Sleeping with the Enemy<\/a> and to some extent Jack in Behind Closed Doors.<\/a>\u00a0They are seemingly perfect, successful husbands who are isolating their spouses and shaping them into a reflection of the lives they want to be seen leading \u2014 perfect wife, perfect life. Nellie is drawn as a young, somewhat naive pre-school teacher impressed by Richard\u2019s worldliness (knowledge of classical music and Burgundian wines). Vanessa is the cast aside model, who lives with her aunt and can\u2019t keep a job because she\u2019s managing her pain with alcohol. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the marketing tells us, “When you read this book, you will make assumptions.” And oh, you do.\u00a0 What at first seems to be a story about revenge and punishment is anything but.\u00a0 <\/span>Once it ramps up the action, The Wife Between Us<\/a> is satisfyingly fast-paced with twists and turns I can only call jaw-dropping. Although I tend to be a reader who takes things at face value, I was looking<\/i> for the clues and still found myself surprised with the final twists. This one has book club written all over it.<\/span><\/p>\n
