The Wife After Me: A gripping psychological thriller with a heart-pounding twist

About this book

She married my ex-husband. They're living in my house. One of us won't make it out alive... I share a house with my ex-husband, Ben. A floor each, a schedule for taking turns to use the kitchen. It may sound odd but it's all perfectly amicable. Then his new wife moves in... Yasmin breezes in on a cloud of expensive perfume, and it's clear Ben is besotted. But her perfect veneer soon starts to crack. I know she's been in my room. And I realise I have more to fear than I'd ever imagined... Then Ben disappears, and I'm alone in the house with her. I hear a noise in our basement. I run down the steps and the door slams behind me. But is it Yasmin turning the key in the lock, or is the truth even more dangerous? And will I survive...? Fans of None of This Is True, John Marrs, T.M. Logan and Freida McFadden will be utterly gripped by this addictive, page-turning psychological thriller.
