Husband and Wife: A completely gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller with a shocking twist
We promised to keep each other's secrets. Until they found the body...
The Wife:
My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can...
The Husband:
I'm drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I've got a temper. That I've not always been faithful. Will they think I killed her?
I think of my wife's jealous streak, of the lies she's told our loved ones. But if I tell the whole truth, they'll look into her past. And that will destroy me, too...
Two people fighting for their lives. Two people with secrets to hide. Who will you believe?
A completely compelling and twisty page-turner from number 1 bestselling author K.L. Slater. Fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden will be hooked by Husband and Wife.

Husband and Wife starts with Parker Vance and his wife Luna dropping their son Barney off at Parker’s parent's house for the night.
Later in the night, they are involved in a serious car accident while Parker is fighting for his life, his mother Nicola, is trying to clear his name for murder!
This was a fantastic book, I was hooked throughout, there were so many secrets and lies that I was left shocked when the reveals happened.
The book had multiple character’s points of view and alternated from past and present. It flowed nicely and I liked getting to know each character, even if I didn’t particularly like certain characters.
As always KL Slater wrote an absolutely gripping book and I would definitely recommend this book and all of her books.
Go grab it now!
The second the alleyway illuminated, a face appeared in front of hers. Before she could cry out or step back, a powerful hand covered her mouth roughly. In a flash, she felt some kind of bag being pulled over her head and tightened around her neck. She opened her mouth to scream but was knocked sideways, heavy blows raining down on her head. She slumped against the wall and slid slowly down it.
My Thoughts
I just finished reading a book by K. L. Slater and it was definitely worth the wait. It took a while for NetGalley to approve my request, but I'm glad they did. Slater is a master of psychological thrillers and this one, although more of a domestic thriller, was still fantastic. The characters are so well-written that you can't help but develop strong feelings towards them. The story is told from different points of view throughout the different chapters, and it's full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you're a fan of thrillers, I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read and review this book.
