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.

This book had me guessing the entire time! I liked the majority of the characters. There is one part I still have questions about, but I won't spoil the story! This was jaw dropping to the fullest! Definitely see that ending coming!

I just finished My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney for our Chapters & Chats Bookclub, and I have mixed feelings. The story started off a bit slow for me. At first, I was confused about how a simple morning jog completely changed her life was it just chance, or was it part of her plan? That uncertainty kept me guessing and added a subtle layer of suspense, but it did take a while to fully draw me in. As the book progressed, the tension and twists really picked up, making it hard to put down. Feeney’s skill at manipulating perspective and weaving secrets made the story addictive, even if the beginning felt a little disorienting. Overall, it’s a gripping psychological thriller, and I’m glad I stuck with it. Perfect for our book club discussions there’s so much to unpack about intentions, trust, and the choices that change lives.

I really enjoyed the audiobook of My Husband’s Wife on Audible. The narration and subtle sound effects made it super immersive. The plot was tight, with every detail and character playing a role in the ending. I especially appreciated the complex characters and steady pacing. I just wish we got more backstory on Harrison and Olivia (Birdie), and the title didn’t fully match the story for me. Overall, a unique, engaging thriller I’d recommend.

Eden Fox, an artist on the cusp of her breakthrough, embarks on a pre-exhibition tour only to find herself in an unsettling new environment. Her seaside home in Hope Falls, Spyglass House, feels impossibly strange; her key no longer opens the door, and a woman who looks strikingly like her answers it. Eden's husband insists this woman is his wife, blurring the line between reality and illusion in a tense, haunting way. Alice Feeney's reputation for unpredictable twists reaches new heights in this novel. Each revelation keeps the reader guessing, transforming what seems straightforward into an intricate web of deception. With a few chapters remaining, I was caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty about what was real and what was just cleverly concealed. I trusted Feeney's storytelling to unveil secrets at her own pace, while the setting hinted at deep, hidden stories lurking within its walls. Overall, I found the story utterly captivating and eagerly anticipate more from Alice Feeney.

Alice Feeney definitely knows how to keep a reader on their toes! My Husband’s Wife was incredibly twisty and engaging from the very first page. I loved the dark atmosphere and the way the suspense just kept building.
The biggest downside however was there was so much going on at once. By the end, there were so many twists that I actually started to get whiplash. It was a bit of a struggle to keep up with every single reveal, but it was still a wild, addictive ride. A must-read for thriller fans—just make sure you’re paying close attention!
