The Wife Before
Sheryl Browne

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…
‘Your boyfriend killed my daughter,’ she says.
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!
