My Husband’s Wife

Description

The instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling phenomenon from the undisputed queen of twisty psychological suspense! Alice Feeney, the multi-million-copy global bestselling author of Rock Paper Scissors, Beautiful Ugly, and His & Hers (now a major Netflix adaptation), returns with My Husband’s Wife—a masterfully dark, mind-bending domestic thriller that will make you question everything you think you know about love, identity, and absolute revenge.

Eden Fox, an ambitious artist on the absolute cusp of the career-defining break she has always dreamed of, steps out for a routine morning run right before her first big gallery exhibition. But when she returns to Spyglass—the enchanting, secluded old house in the beautiful coastal village of Hope Falls that she and her husband recently moved into—her life is instantly dismantled. Her key completely refuses to fit into the front door lock. When the door finally opens, a strange woman who looks eerily, terrifyingly similar to her is standing in the entryway. Worst of all, Eden’s own husband looks her dead in the eye, treats her like a complete stranger, and fiercely insists that this uncanny interloper is his actual wife. One house. One husband. Two identical women. Someone is playing a deadly game.

Six months prior to this waking nightmare, a reclusive Londoner named Birdy is reeling from a sudden, life-changing medical diagnosis. Out of nowhere, she inherits Spyglass as an unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother, prompting her to escape her isolated life and move to Hope Falls. However, the mystery deepens when Birdy stumbles across an obscure, shadowy London clinic that makes a terrifying claim: they can accurately predict the exact date of any person’s death—including her own. As secrets begin to unravel across two parallel timelines, the fragile boundary between truth and absolute deception blurs entirely, compelling Birdy to correct some dark, buried wrongs from her past.

Masterfully executing the psychological thriller, unreliable narrator, stolen identity, domestic suspense, and twisted marriage tropes, My Husband’s Wife delivers a breathless, calculated, and high-performance narrative. Packed with staggering plot twists, exquisite psychological depth, and an atmospheric, claustrophobic dread, this stunning Pan Macmillan paperback edition will leave your mind spinning long after the jaw-dropping final page.
