Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife.

One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.

Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person's date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.

My Husband’s Wife is a tangled web of deception, obsession, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.

Delightful murder mystery/thriller with a raft of lying, untrustworthy, damaged characters. Told in a carousel of first-person reports (right down to one character narrating their own death, plus a couple more characters with "near deaths"): none of them are reliable, all contain lies that are exposed at one point or another (right down to two pages before the end of the book...). It did keep me guessing, and I have no doubt it will make for a good movie. I missed the meeting where the book club talked about it, but heard enough good that I figured I'd go back and read it. Glad I did.

I really liked the beginning and middle of this books and then it started giving me way too much whiplash, how many twists and turns? Way too many, when you think you got it you don’t. Plot is interesting for sure but overall it was a tad too long and too many twists. Loved the writing though.

This is one of her best books yet, and the twists and turns continue until the very last paragraph. Fabulous mind. Fabulous story. A must read!

This is probably my favorite book of her’s so far that I’ve read! It had me engaged right from the very first chapter. I definitely did not see the final twist coming.

Eden is a mother and a wife. She’s prepping for upcoming art show that very evening. She goes out for her daily, mind clearing jog just to come home and find out that her key does not work in the lock of her home. Someone opens the door…
