Publisher's summary

He thinks his secret is safe. But she knows the truth....

My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me.

On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth.

Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.

Except I’ve discovered my husband has been lying to me again. He’s using the power he has in his job to mess with people’s lives and to get exactly what he wants–no matter who it hurts.

But he’s underestimated me. I’ve had plenty of time, in this big, isolated house, to think about all of his mistakes.

And my husband has no idea what’s about to happen next....

From the number one best-selling author of The Passenger, an absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists that will keep you listening late into the night. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl, and The Housemaid, you’ll be hooked on The Doctor’s Wife.

The perfect murder(s)?

**Possible spoilers here**

Everyone was guilty in this story. Murder is never justified, of course. But Drew was a criminal in his own right. Not only was he a “cheater” in his marriage, but he also cheated on exams to qualify to become a doctor in the first place. He’d prescribed medications that led to a patient’s death. And now he committed malpractice when Rory came to him for a consultation when he disposed of the vial of blood and delayed getting him to a specialist he believed Rory needed urgently. He even told Alice about it, and said it would be easier for them if something happened to Rory, Alice was complicit by saying nothing to try to stop him.

Also, there was criticism in how Fern got angry when she found out Drew wasn’t faithful. How was she supposed to react??

Rory himself ultimately turned against Fern.

None of this justifies Fern’s criminal actions, but it seems “Roger” doesn’t seem to realize that his friend Drew has committed plenty of crimes of his own. He just doesn’t have the whole picture.

All that being said, I will probably listen to the 2nd book to see what happens next, because it is a good story.

Both narrators were excellent and captured the characters perfectly.

Jaw dropping twist and turns

Was not sure what to expect with the book. As the story began to developed thought I knew where it was going. But then a major plot twist had my jaw dropping over and over. The end left me wanting a sequel to the story.

Awesome

I love that the author keeps me on my toes! Who would've thought that a good doctor could be so corrupt! I highly recommend this book as it will leave you turning the pages well after your normal bedtime.

On the fence about this one

Here’s the thing….storyline was interesting, the book was just the right amount of time without all the extra descriptions but I didn’t like a single character! They were all low life’s for one reason or another so there was no one to cheer for. Then what happens….it’s a sequel and I’ve already downloaded the next book. I’m hoping there is at least one person with redeeming values. If not, I might have to skip more titles from this author.

Absolutely perfect! 💯

The storyline would be a great read; however, the stellar narration made it REAL! The narration brought the story to life with the inflection and expression. Kudos to all involved. I'll be looking for more by this writer and narrators.
